Having headaches again!

Have you tried chiropractic? I have lots and lots of success stories with tough headache cases. Sometimes there is a simple herbal/nutritional approach, too. Magnesium deficiency, Feverfew, a few adjustments, eliminate trigger points, release restrictions that can cause stagnation of CSF flow in the spinal column, some cranial work. Whatever it takes. You'd be amazed, and if it doesn't work for you, the risk of any side effects are about as low as you can get in healthcare. Good luck with your problems!
 
Yes, I actually tried a Chiropractor. It didn't help.
OK, I went to the Neuro-Opthamologist. He said that because I AM on current treatment for PTC, that he couldn't really say either way. He said he couldn't say either way. My new Neurologist took me off the Diamox. And we will see if there is any swelling of my optic nerve etc. when I see him for my next appointment. And I am completely off caffeine. I really trust my new doctor. My eyes were so blurry from all the eye drops, dyes, and whatever he put in to dilate my eyes, I couldn't see to write anything yesterday. It took awhile for that all to wear off.

Thannk you aquina! Yes, I also feel that I am in good hands, finally! Thank you for your offer of help.

I DO appreciate everyone's support, compassion, caring, and help!! I am very grateful.
 
My friend's wife had terrible headaches and wen throw many doctors and procedures, until one old doctor suggested that it may be nitrits (or something) which are in processed beef - like ham or salamy - this kind of things, causing it. So she stop eating all this things and it make her headache goes away. I also notice this with myself in smaller scale and limit myself eating this things.

I am far from medicine - but you may use it as a hint and check with doctor or dietologist or something. I hope somebody here may clearify this better.

Thanks, Vassili.

I spotted this article and remembered someone here was having headache problems. Apparently some people have it bad enough to go to the ER. It sounds like a very temporary solution, but maybe it would be helpful while they look for the "real" solution.


EDIT:
Yeesh, careful with those titles. It won't let me edit my completely idiotic attempt to spell "headache." "Heache" just doesn't make as much sense.
 
Carl64: When I went to that link, I got page not found.

I am still dealing with the headache, but it is different now. I don't have the focal point at the back of my head. And I am getting a weird tingling sensation. But, at the same time, I don't feel quite as crappy. Maybe it is on it's way out?? I dunno.... Things still aren't right. I mean, I have the wicked dizziness, and seeing things in 4's with the dizzines. I see the Neurologist on Monday.
 
CNN sucks because you can't view old stories.

I thought the original article was longer, but this seems to be talking about the same thing:
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=healthNews&storyID=2006-11-24T181918Z_01_COL464579_RTRUKOC_0_US-HEADACHE-ED.xml

Basically they do it the way an ER does it for anything--a big old shot of -caine-based pain killer. Obviously that's not going to solve vision problems and whatever the real cause is, but I thought it might buy you some kind of temporary relief from the headache.
 
Imitrex does not work for this headache. Been there, done that. Thanks though.

I actually had the first neurologist inject my head. That did nothing. THANK you though.
 
TKC,
you call if yod need info, or just to talk.

If you need my contact info, PM.
 
TKC, that sucks! Unfortunately "headaches" is one of the top choices for junkies to use to get narcotics. I learned of this the hard way through 20+ years of headaches, dozens of useless meds and finally being labeled as a frequent flyer (junkie) in several different ERs. Finally though I found a neurosurgeon who was able to help me with surgery. The headaches have been gone for 6 years now but my frequent flyer label still hinders me every time I have to go to the ER. Fortunately that is not often though. Through my experience I found that you must walk a very fine line between utter assholeitis to get docs to listen and not pissing them off so much they tell you to find another doctor. Good luck, I hope you find relief soon.
 
I saw my Neurologist today!! Lord it was an early day..... Anyway.... He seems to think that it is some type of migraine. He said he wants to try some meds. before doing some testing. I take the med. at night, before going to sleep. I hope this will do 2 things. 1) make the headache go away. 2) keep the bloody headache from waking me every damn night!! I start my med. tonight.

I have been very self centered pursuing a beautiful brainy lady.We lunched today & I took her home around 7pm & it was one of the best days of my old life..


I do say a collective generic prayer each day for my dear [albeit some are stranger than I ] & an occasional prayer for some . Rest assured that prayer is not ignored & it has helped me & others that I beseeched for . I can be a vulgar old man but lead a life that God would give his approval over I do believe.

Tonight you will head my 'Top ten ' list.

God bless you dear lady !

Uncle Alan :D :thumbup:
