     I sympathise. I felt like I could not relax my face whenI slept. I saw a brilliant physio who also does Osteopathy and he found that I had 3 vertebrae which were not in the correct place. I am having treatment and feel so much better. No heavy heads and no headaches!  It's only taken 3 years!

      What made you consider a physio?  I wouldn't have guessed there was a connection.

    I have a constant headache that is in the front and top part of my head and in the back of my eyes. I also have a slight sensation at the base bart of my head where it meets the top of my neck. I feel out of it most of the time. Do you ever feel tired and fuzzy? Like significantly?

    I did a google search "identify your headache with pictures" because I was not sure what type of headache I have.

    Up came a series of options and I checked just the images.  One of the images was a pictorial display of a head showing 4 types of pain. When I examined that in more detail, there was a series of related pictures on the side and one of them showed 6 types including neck and TMJ.  I found that helpful in as much as I discovered I have neck problems and not tension headaches as I have previously been telling the doctor.

      I truly believe that doctors are just guessing most of the time. It's a shame they never refer patients to physio's, osteopaths or other alternative therapies.
