Headaches

I have started getting headaches usually as the Madapor wears off. When it happens everything seems to loud and to bright.

Does anyone else have this.

The osteopath tells me that a symptom of PD is the shortening of muscles. I damaged my kneck ,about 12 months ago. Very lucky as it seems that I could have been in a wheelchair of something more permenant. A long saga of going backwards and forward to the doc ( a story for another day perhaps)

Anyway, he thinks that the headaches are caused by the short ening of the muscles in the kneck and the effect of damage incured

when I fell.

Lifting things that are slightly heavy will set them off as will the pressure on the back of the neck when using a computer. The computer is the correct height but my neck is not strong enough to hold my head up for very long although the head drop is improving. Up until very recently I have been able to use the chain saw but I have now stopped now as using it for five minutes will set off a headache that lasts all day.

I attend the osteopath once a month, use infra red sparingly, apply melatonin and use an electric massage chair most days which seems to offer a degree of control.

It does seem that the headaches are more frequent and more easily

triggered. Although the aftereffects of the fall have improved and all but disappeared , the osteopath seems rather concerned about the increased frequency of the headaches.

I have updated this.in case it helps others on this site
