Perhaps go back to square one; visit your primary care provider. Get a diagnosis for your headaches, and a treatment plan. Then go to a recruiter to see if your headache diagnosis is something that will allow you to serve in the military.

Headaches are a huge issue. For general medical advice outside of your doctors office, I would suggest starting with an online information source such as Web MD.

I wish you the best.

I forgot to mention I am trying to get an 18x contract. I do not get headaches anymore and have not in the past three years. The problem is the depression and anxiety. I was never diagnosed with it but in my medical records the neurologist said in her "Impressions" that she thought I had depression and anxiety. I am worried that I will need a medical waiver and will not be able to get an 18x contract.
