Arthritis in the neck can cause awful headaches. I suffer with occipital headaches. This is caused by arthritis in my neck and spine. One thing that really helps are daily beck exercises.

As Nettienet said.. I get headaches as the odontoid peg (the bone that connects the skull and spine) is my worst hit area for my RA. It could well be something to do with the swelling/inflammation there. xx

I just noticed that you are on Benpali, as it's a biosimiliar of Enbrel maybe it could be that that that is causing your headaches.

I got migraines (and skin rashes) on Enbrel and had to take it in 2 half doses per week which then allowed me to keep taking it (9 yrs successfully) .

When I initially started the drug I was told my side effects could not be the Enbrel but now they are an accepted side effect.

During the 9yrs I was on Enbrel I had to take Almotriptan (migraine med) when the now less frequent migraines started.

I hope you get an answer to your headaches soon.

Research pernicious anemia. Headaches and tiredness are some of the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. A blood test will confirm and treated with regular B12 injections.

Hi Deejojo.

I have suffered from headaches for years and still don't know why. It could be medication or it could be a bad neck I have. Lots of headaches are caused by stress.

Yes your need for glasses could cause headache - Whatever if the hospital says no need to worry, then better taking them at their word, unless your headache gets worse. Even then it could be migraine. Wish you well and remember, worry will make your headache worse..
