If you have an organic cause for the headaches, then yes a Neurologist
is probably a good place to start, but most can't/won't do diddle for
a person with Chronic Daily Headache.

Review
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/chronic-daily-headaches/DS00646 and
if your symptoms match-up with what they are talking about seek out a
Pain Management Specialist.  He/she may still want you to see a
Neurologist to have organic causes ruled out, which amounts to a bunch
of really expensive tests -- CAT Scan, MRI, X-Rays, etc.

Taking good care of yourself can help prevent chronic daily headaches.
See if any of these "don't need a Doctor" methods help you.

-- Avoid headache triggers. If you're not sure what triggers your
headaches, keep a headache diary. Include details about every
headache. When did it start? What were you doing at the time? What did
you eat that day? How did you sleep the night before? What's your
stress level? How long did the headache last? What, if anything,
provided relief? Eventually, you may begin to see a pattern — and be
able to take steps to prevent future headaches.

-- Get enough sleep. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day
— even on weekends. If you're not tired at bedtime, read or watch
television until you become drowsy and fall asleep naturally.

-- Don't skip meals. Start your day with a healthy breakfast. Eat
lunch and dinner at about the same time every day. Avoid any food or
drinks, such as those containing caffeine, that seem to trigger
headaches.

-- Exercise regularly. Physical activity causes your body to release
chemicals that block pain signals to your brain. With your doctor's
OK, choose activities you enjoy — such as walking, swimming or
cycling. To avoid injury, start slowly.

-- If you Smke, stop. Smoking can trigger chronic migraine and chronic
tension-type headaches. Higher levels of nicotine are also associated
with increased anxiety and depression.

-- Reduce stress. Get organized. Simplify your schedule. Plan ahead.
Stay positive.

-- Relax. Try yoga, meditation or relaxation exercises. Set aside time
to slow down. Listen to music, read a book or take a hot bath.

Perhaps you are suffering from rebound headaches? Have you been taking
OTC medicines for the headaches? Maybe you just need to take a break
from them and suffer through a week or so of bad headaches so that your
brain chemistry has a chance to rebalance itself.

I suffer from daily headaches as well and if it's a choice between
neurologist or pain specialist, I'll always take a neurologist. But I
prefer a GP who is comfortable with prescribing opiates and triptans
because unlike neurologists and pain specialists, GPs are much less
likely to treat patients as guinea pigs.

If you determine that your headaches are not rebound, then you will need
an MRI just to make sure you don't have a tumor or something.

Don,

I have a combination of Migraine, chronic daily headache and pain
associated with cervical degenerative disc disease. I started by
seeing a neurologist. Be forewarned: They will ask you to try
anti-seizure medication and/or anti-depressants. The anti-seizure
medication will dull your thinking and make you gain weight. The anti-
depressant medication will make having an orgasm almost impossible and
most will make you gain weight. You can also expect slowed thinking
from most of the anti-depressants but not as bad as with the
anti-seizure med's. Another favorite is beta blockers. This is a wise
choice with the fewest side effects (unless you have asthma).

Are your headaches one sided?
How long do they last?
What medications have you tried including OTC?
Can you describe the pain as the headache progresses?
Do you experience pounding?

Make yourself more familiar with the "cluster headache" concepts.
