Tired head all the time

Good morning. I'm not sure if this is the place to post but I really would like some advice. For the last few years I feel I am living in some sort of cloud. It doesn't matter how much I sleep/rest I am tired. Its a tiredness in my head though not my body. It covers my eyes and some days I have to sleep in the day and I fall asleep at night on the sofa most nights as my tiredness overcomes me. I also suffer from a lot of headaches.

I am desperate for it to go as it is holding me back from enjoying my life fully. I've been to the doctors and had blood tests - low b12, low vitamin D. But thats been treated so I don't know why I still feel like this.

I struggle to drive as I get tired straight away which made me think its related to my eyes. If I rub the muscles under my eyebrows they crack and relieve some pressure and its come to my attention thats my frontal sinus. Could this be the problem? Is there a way of relieving this and could it be the answer to my tiredness and constant headaches?

I also suffer from terrible neck pain the day before my period but that is probably completely irrelevant but thought I'd add this.

Again I'm sorry if this isn't the right place but if anyone has any experience of any of this I'd be really grateful.

Thank you.

I presume they've considered Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? The neck pain before your period is likely to be part of the migraine, particularly likely just before a period.

Thank you for the reply. No mention of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, think they just assumed it was the low b12 then low vit d so just left it there. Thanks again for the response.

Have you considered a sleep study?

Or have you taken Melatonin at night? There is a time release one that helps. If you don't sleep at night then you are more tired during the day and fall asleep.

Are you doing any treatment for your neck?

Have you tried a TENS machins.to helo your neck?

You also don't talk about what migraine medication you are taking.

Good luck
