I had ice pick headache prior to being diagnosed with FNDs and have not have any for over 3 years. All of a sudden, since yesterday they have resumed and I am back taking sumatriptan and atenolol plus my speech has been affected again .
The only thing I have been doing differently is walking alot as I am exercising and I power walk.
Anyone have the same problem?
Hi Angela, I am so sorry you get those terrible Ice Pick headaches ,too. I get them frequently so I know exactly what you go through, painwise and symptoms wise. I was given a headache calendar to complete by my neurologist, which I have to return to her when completed, and told to take Iboprufen. There are lots of painkillers I cannot take. I get on well will Iboprufen but had weaned myself off them because I was getting stomach pains. Neurologist said it was good to keep my eye on things like that but it was okay to take them for migraines. My original pain doseage had been 2400mg per day. How are you bearing up today? 🙂
Thank you for your reply. The only thing that seems to help is atenolol but the pain has subsided which is good. Will go for a gentle walk today and hope that it is not triggered again.
