Hi everyone
I posted about my headaches few weeks back. To recap, ive had a pretty much continuous headache , predominantly on my left hand side of my forehead for over a month now.
Ive been to the gps twice, 1st time he said it was cluster headaches and prescribed naproxen. Second doctor said it was most likely tension headaches and prescribed setraline for my GAD/ha issues. i was also suffering from numbness, pins and needles, twitches etc
These other symptoms have subsided. I had a rough couple of weeks on the setralien to begin with. i was feeling nauseous a lot and getting panicky but that seems to have calmed down and i do feel a bit better in myself. but the headaches! they will not budge. I even tried coming of the naproxen for the weekend just gone thinking it might be causing rebound headaches but today they have been pretty constant so i think ill start taking the naproxen again tomorrow.
Ive had my eyes checked, got new glasses last week. optician said i had slightly weak eye muscles around my left eye but my eyes ok, she didnt find anything concerning.
Ive got a follow up appointment next week with my gp but i just keep getting flashbacks of all the horrible stuff i read when googling headaches a few weeks back.. ive stopped doing that now but i was in a pretty dark place a couple of weeks ago and just could not stop looking up all my "symptoms"
It really does feel like the only symptom i have now is the headache so im taking a little bit of comfort that if it was anything more sinister id have more progressive symptoms but still....
Id be interested to hear from anyone going through or who has been through a similar thing because i really cant help but get freaked out by it occasionally.
