I just wanted to write a post to say how much better my headaches are. I've suffered from headaches all over my head for about 6 months and the anxiety it caused brought on many other symtoms.
As a seasoned HA sufferer I knew deep down it was going to be ok. I finally got the courage to go to the doctor who game me an inhaler for sinus problems which helped a bit but also referred me to the osteopath. I've been twice now (although it's 3 weeks between appointments, NHS) and it really helps. He seems to think nearly all headaches are a result of muscular problems. I have to improve my posture and of course the anxiety causes all sort of tensions in the muscles.
He gives a massage around my neck and he does acupuncture on my neck and back and the results are amazing. I'm not totally free of headaches yet but I'd say 80-90% better.
If anyone's struggling with headaches and can't shake them, I'd highly recommend a good osteopath.
Hope this helps some people and gives people reassurance that it won't be brain tumour (as I of course convinced myself).
Good Luck
Tom
