Guest guest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 , yes, I have had gastro problems. Have gastritis and acid reflux and have had ulcers in the past. and pressure in head... Wanna try an experiment: Next time you get one of these headaches: take a "Stim U Dent" to your gums. You may feel the headache modulate somewhat. Also drink hot cocoa. High in magnesium.I think that the aches are caused by a bacteria; present with RPer's . Now when I find the exact bug we will also celebrate. Till then the gums and cocoa for headaches. Question: have you ever had any type of gastrointestinal probs?on 5/12/02 3:22 AM, Barbara at starangel688_@... wrote: I just thought it was my migraines that did that, because it hits so suddenly and wow, it knocks you for a loop. let me know what you find out too... hope you are feeling better.

However, the pressure is unbelievable during an ear flare. I have called it a headache, but it is almost like a vice. During my last ear flare holding my head up was was impossible because of the pain. I hope you are feeling better soon. Rita Kathleen wrote: ,I am interested in the pressure you describe. I also get what I would loosely call headaches, really just incredible pressure inside my head. I feels awful! Could you describe what you experience? I have had an MRI that was normal. My blood pressure is also low. I don't know what to make of the sensation, except that it feels like extreme pressure building up in my head. I have wondered if this could possibly be vasculitis.
