In Reply to: Daily Headaches for 2 yrs posted by Sharon on December 02, 2000 at 22:12:06:
: I have had chronic daily headaches for 2 yrs. now. I have consulted neurologists, ENT's, family physicians, allergists, and psychiatrists. The pain resembles pressure on top of the head and sharp, stabbing pain on left side of head which pulsates down left side of the face. The pressure tends to move around the head and does not stay in one spot. I have taken many medications, including imitrex, elavil, nortryptaline, butalbital, sulindac, fiorinal, fioricet, and OTC products. I have had MRI's, which are normal. I have also tried accupuncture with limited success. My headache started suddenly at work one day. Physicians do not know what is the cause of my headaches and some state that it is all in my head, that is, psychological. I disagree. Has anyone else experienced the same, undiagnosed, unexplained symptoms, and if so, what types of relief, including medications and alternative remedies, can you recommend? PLEASE HELP!!
Hi Sharon,
I read your post and can sympathize withyou. I too suffer from chronic what I am going to call 'tension headaches"/ Mine started about one year ago and on one side. SInce that time I have had 2 cat scans and one MRI all prove to be negative findings. I still have the headaches and like you they move all around my head. One day one side, the next day the other, another day on the top of my head, and then the back of my head. I constantly have some sort of pressure. SOme days I feel normal, but there is still a slight pressure deep down. Midrin worked for me, but I want to find the cause. I find that when I am stressed the headaches are doubled in intensity. I went to a chirporactor which alleviated but did not eliminate the pain. If you dont mind me asking, how old are yoiu and where do you live. I am 29 F. Hope you are doing okay,. I would love to hear back from you.
