These headaches feel so unusual but I talk to a few people now and they say they feel the same way so I know I am not alone or something major is wrong with me I just hate the head pain 😖
Yes, I was anemic. But anxiety can also cause that too.
Hey there, I hope you did get some rest. I get headaches everyday - as you described. So like a tight, tight band around my head and it creeps forward and gives me terrible eye ache, sore jaw and basically an entire aching face and head. I’ve had this for 7 years 😐. It started a month after a very traumatic time in my life. It was so severe at the beginning, that I had to get a brain scan. But it was completely fine. I’ve seen a rheumatologist, an ENT, another neurologist and my GP countless times. My neck gets sore with it too.
Nobody knows what it is, but my GP is convinced it’s stress and anxiety induced. I agree with her. Xx
Omg this just describes me I get the sore jaw that creeps down into my neck even more so the back of my neck it really sore this just started to happen like about 3 months ago to sore jaw is something I hate along with face pain I hate it I had a scan of my brain as well can’t back normal now I have to tell myself it’s my anxiety and stress causing me to feel this way 😞I pray u get better

I pray you feel better too 😞. I’m very glad your brain scan came back clear - it’s so scary isn’t it? I was so frightened.
I don’t find painkillers very helpful with this pain, so there are other things to try. Cool therapy oitments, like Biofreeze (I’m in the UK - are you?) rubbed on your neck really help. I also buy something called 4Head - it’s like a little roll-on stick that you can swipe over your forehead, temples and behind your ears (it’s all herbal, so nice and safe). Those migraine cool patches help too.
My GP prescribed me a low dose antidepressant, called Amitryptaline, which is used off-license for pain. I’ve found this to be helpful, but hasn’t taken the headache away.
It’s hard to live with - but I’ve got used to it. I also have anxiety disorder, so it’s hard to keep on top of that and the subsequent stress. So it’s also important to try and manage your anxiety.....easier said than done, huh? Xx
Thank you , yes it’s very scary especially when it’s something I hadn’t felt before I thought something was horribly wrong but with me I get the bad chest pain to that scares me a lot to but the dr say it’s my anxiety and also acid reflex since I no longer have my gallbladder anymore
I live in the us but I’m definitely going to see if we have anything similar to what u use and see if that helps me
It is so much easier to say ur going to think positive and not let it get in the way then to actually not let it take over u
