I had Bacterial Meningitis 40 years ago. After about 10 years, I began to have odd headaches 3-4 times a week. They feel like I have a tight band wrapped around my head. Yes, sort of a "cloudy head", as you referenced. The key is that the headaches are NON-throbbing. But I've been able to find a treatment for those headaches: "Goody powder." It's in all drugstores, OTC, in the U.S. As soon as I feel the tightness coming on, I take HALF of the powder and the headache goes away. If it doesn't disappear (maybe once a month), I take the rest of the actual recommended dosage.

This has worked for me for over 30 years!

Yes like a band around your head just makes my mind turn off . Just feel like I’m not as totally with it up there as I was before the meningitis 😞 unfortunately am in the uk so can’t get the goody powder but will see if I can find an alternative here . Thanks for your reply
