| 50+ Day Headache any input?????????
I am now on day 51 of my headache I don't add the s because it hasn't gone away its been covered up but never gone. My primary pain is front right side, with a vise vise like effect between the front and back mostly on the right side. The Docs keep on trying migraine treatments on me none have worked, also things like light and noise don't make it worse. It started on sunday in mid september for the first week I tried every OTC remedy I could find, every morning stop at walgreens on the way to work nothing helped finally that friday I went to the walk-in clinic in the evening I have no history of headaches and have never had a problem like that before hell I even told the Doc I was embarrassed about showing up at the clinic over a headache. They assured me that it is quite normal for people to do and sent me out the door with a scrip for vicodin. The vic took the edge off but did get rid of the headache just made it tolerable. Since then I have been given more different meds to try than I can keep track of. The only thing that I got real relief from was percocet, but when I was turned over to the neurolgist he narcotics are not good for headaches so I went back to constant pain.I have had a CT, a CTA, and an MRI, as well as several diff. blood tests all normal, next test is a spinal tap they say. I sleep, not well, I work but its a struggle. I had no signifigant event to set off this headache either, I just really don't think its a migraine if anyone has any suggestions I could toss a my neuro I would appreciate it greatly. Also that quack has got me on topamax for almost 4 weeks now. I think that stuff is messing me up bad. I zone out alot, my right hand has developed a wicked bad shake(i'm right handed and work with electriciy, blew up a screwdriver last week).I'm constantly tired and fatigued all that and still have the headache.
