I have had Migraines for the last 10 years so I am use to those and I am currently on Topamax which is working wonderfully well. Just here recently the very back of my head near the base of my skull has been aching constantly. Once in a while I will get this swell of pain that rises to about the top of my ears and then it stops. The pain is so sever that I almost pass out. The pain other then that is just very irritating. I am on day 3 now and it is getting harder day by day. I am having trouble thinking clearly now. I do not have any vision problems with this. I do have a ruptrued lumbar disk that I will be having surgery on sometime in February. Not sure if the disk or the med could be to cause or if it could be something else.

If anyone has any ideas....
Thank You for any help...
