Headaches

Does anyone have constant daily headaches

[Eadtalfie]

Yes, I do and have done since September last year, plus nausea, dizziness and arm/shoulder pain and weakness. Several visits to doctors , I was told migraine, tension headaches and another said it was anxiety (I'd never had anxiety). Another doctor took my blood pressure and it was scarily high so I was put on medication. But the headaches continued. Another doctor sent me for a neck xray and that's where my problem lies, severe neck osteoarthritis and slippage of the neck, I'm now waiting to see a Neurologist.

I've had migraines since I was a child but have had a constant migraine for the last 26 months. It never stops 24/7. Now I'm just at the point of trying to manage a somewhat "normal" life with my kids. Fortunately they are old enough to do things for themselves or idk what I would do. Mine actually cause seizures bc it has been so debilitating.

Back when I first started seeing a Neuro on my own in my early 20's, I've tried all kinds of preventatives and rescue meds (the ones they give you when you feel one coming on). I can't count how many I've been through now. Butabital has helped the most bc it has codeine in it that helps for pain so I take those 1 day then skip a day as advised. I have about 4 others I can take as well.

I hope yours never get this severe, it's awful.

Good luck at your appt on Tuesday! Hopefully they will send you for a MRI and see what is happening. Many times it's the blood vessels constricting then opening up that lead to them.

I had too and I started working out my back and shoulders I actually feel much better. I stopped for a period of six month once and they came back. You could try it.
