Re: Chronic Headaches (blow your brains out pain)

[Guest guest]

Only thing I can ask is if they've tried migraine medications,

preventative/abortive types? I know headaches where I thought of banging my

head till I knocked myself out, but thought that might cause more problems,

truly though, the thought of drilling a hole in my skull right where the pain

was might get rid of it. Anything to make it stop. Severe pain, vomiting and

begging the ER doctor to please put me out of my misery right now.

Once we had to stop for gas to get to the hospital and a police officer saw me

sitting in the van and asked what was wrong and I told him I was having a

migraine. I guess the look on my face told him how bad the pain was, he called

an ambulance for me and said that would get me seen faster.

My husband thanked him and told me later he felt relieved because he was

frightened for me.

I'm thankful your back is not the cause of pain for you. That's good to hear.

What label did the doctors put on your headaches? Are they

cervicogenic, cluster, migraine, tension, hemicrania continua, etc.?

The reason I ask, is that the treatments vary for each one.

I suffer with some very wicked head pain. It started when I was a

toddler, so I've lived with it for more than fifty years. Some things

work for some kinds of headaches and do nothing for others. When head

pain is caused by a combination, it can get really tricky to treat with

much success. I have had success with certain migraine and cervicogenic

headaches, but not much luck with the clusters.

I had a car accident 3 years ago and I have migraines from it, things that I

find help are yoga. It straightening the muscles and loosening the tension in

them as well. Also I am taking a medicine call Topiramate in low doses I am

told it is good for migraines and it works for me, and mine are pretty severe.

I might also look into massage therapy for your neck and shoulders or even

acupuncture that might also help. Just some suggestions.

Take Care,
