Hi

Here’s a web site that was recommended to me by a health worker. It is written by a consultant neurologist so I am assuming it is believable. It goes into great detail and is easy to read for us non medically minded folk. I found it very reassuring.

Except for a bout of 3 weeks and the odd few days here and there, I have had a headache for 5 months straight. It is a classic-feeling tension headache, like a vice is closing over my temples with throbbing pain at its worst moments. I have had a brain mri which was clear and a neck x-ray which was also clear. I am now at a back-neck specialist (dr.) who has cracked my neck on two occassions and says I have cervical dysfunction in the facet joints of me neck and that is causing the pain and pressure. It is causing anxiety with me - I feel like it's never going to go away and I'm more frequently having dark moments of total anxiety. I guess I need to feel like this is a reasonable scenario for pain and that it will subside at some point. I am starting to feel hopeless.

I have a headache almost everyday, its a classic tension headache I'm sure its there because have really tense muscles in my neck and shoulders. I also grind my teeth when I'm feeling anxious.

Does anyone get a tingling sensation that accompanies the headache?

i have had this pain in the right side of my head now for over 8 weeks now and there is still no sign of it letting up , how i can describe it is like persistent dull achey pain thats always there 24/7 and i sometimes get sharp shooting pains aswell when it first developed it was really intense i thought i had a brain tumour i kept going back to my GP complaining till he sent me to emergency assement unit at my local hospital were there did a number of tests which one was a CT scan the CT scan came back normal blood tests came back normal aswell , so here i am into my ninth week still none the wiser the doctors dont no what it is neither does the hospital .

Ive been suffering stabbing pains in my head daily for over a year but have started to get worse in the last few months. The dr says its just stress and wont send me for any tests at all.

Hey all.

I'd say the last 4/5 weeks I seem to have a headache everyday.

I use to have depression/anxiety and believe I'm over it, but because it's gone on so long I'm starting to think the worse again.

Symptoms
+ Headaches usually start in the mornings, round the back then move forward
+ Tired most of the time
+ If I wobble my head it hurts, Yes I know I should stop wobbling my head but it never use to do it!
+ Sometimes paracetemol/ibrpofen doesn't do anything

After 3 weeks I went to the doctor and said it's tension headaches/sinnitus (have had a lingering cold for around the same period, but rarely have a blocked nose)

I'm thinking of going back again at the end of this week if I get any headaches tommorow or Tuesday as I think I've put up for it long enough.

Things I thought was the cause
+ Dehydrated - Tried drinking more, sometimes fixes it!
+ Had my eyes tested; all good

Things I do which could be the cause?
+ I do squink (habbit)
+ I seem to 'lift' up my forehead (habbit), which moves scalp etc

Anyone else had this before or know whats causing it?

I've had cronic migraine for a year now.
I take solphadol and sumatriptan.
I've had a brain scan and MRI.
Still waiting for the results.
Sumatriptan seem to help.
The sunlight and flashing lights make it worse.
