hi bev- dont tell yourself your a failure. when you go to doc tell him/her to speed up the neurologist appointment. the neurologist is the best person to get this sorted.

my gp is saying its muscular and my anxiety tho how r u?

my headache is more intermittant now i guess and aching less but still aches- i think because ive started exercising to raise the endorphins. However my neurologist appointment is this week- will let you know what happens.

Your GP is saying your headache is muscular- im sure it is but this does not mean it cant be managed better. A neurologist is qualified to help you with managing the headache so you should insist that you want a referral.

Also insist on getting CBT as you have to remember a headache is caused by multiple factors and stress management is important factor.

the things im doing to get better are

keeping hydrated
exercising everyday
not stressing
not taking painkillers
eating regularly
going to bed earlier
hot bath with lavender at night

all the best
