I had a unexplainable headache one time that kept getting more severe and unending

Went to dr-->neurologist-->cat scans--.MRI--Stadol a potent drug--the works

noting helped, and still wen unexplained

My father in law was describing my symptoms to his fam doctor, and he said he bet he knew what was wrong

said for me to call, which I did-i was desparate

he asked if I'd had a sore neck or shoulder recently, and odly enough before the headaches I did, but it went away--i had slept on it wrong

he said i had an infammation of the muscles that went up my neck, and prescribed over the phone anti-flammatory meds.

as soonas i began taking them, the headaches went away.

frist time Ive ever been cured long distance w/o a dr visit

it was a miacle

whenever the weather changes and the barometric pressure changes significantly i will have a a bad headache, similar to a migraine

which anti-inflammatory med? i have taken several but they don't seem to be effective at alleviating/preventing my headaches so maybe it

isn't an inflammation issue.

be careful when taking over the counter anti-inflammatory meds like Advil, I had severe headaches for a couple of months, was taking Advil

i dont remember what kinds--just remember that is what i took. This was 10 years or so ago.

daily & ended up being diagnosed with rebound headaches from taking too much Advil, rarely take it anymore.

digimom, if they are tension headaches, try ice to the back of the neck. Also it is important to get enough sleep (I know - hard to do).

I am not disagreeing with beil Beil, but I used to use those heat things on my neck...that sometimes helped but recently the rapid release

tylenol

hope u feel better soon. headaches take the fun out of EVERYTHING

wow this is a veritable list of diagnoses and treatments- i sure hope something works and that you feel better soon!

How's your posture when sitting at comp? Back/neck spasms can cause headaches

I think I'm sitting too low. But I can't imagine that causing headaches. I walk around a lot. I dunno

posture at the computer is a killer for neck problems which cause headaches.
