I work a 8-5 and during the work week I feel bad from other health issues, but do not tend to have headaches. However, on the weekends, I have them HORRIBLY. Today is Monday and my Sunday headache has rolled into Monday. I am already on a fentanyl patch for other chronic pain, take Vicodin, ibuprofen etc. lay on ice, you name it. I have TMJ and my jaw joint is really bad. I grind my teeth in my sleep and no amount of splints have helped. The other night I was chewing on my tongue without knowing it, when I woke up I had chewed some skin off, and had a place on my tongue that was like swollen.
Today, it is in my jaw, behind my eyes and it is NONSTOP and so bad I feel angry and violent.
Any thoughts on why it is on the weekends that I get these? Is it because I sleep longer? I have muscle tension HORRIBLY in my neck when I am not having a headache and when I do have one, it is so bad my shoulders are near my ears.
Help!
