Annoying, daily headache for 2 weeks now. Need help
Posted , 3 users are following.
I've been having headaches every day for 2 weeks now. They start in the back, right portion of my head and spread on the whole other right side of my head and into my right eye.
They used to start immediately when I woke up and last all day but now they don't start until the end of the day and they spread all around my head. The only other symptoms I have is occasional auras and neck stiffness.
I can't see a doctor about it because I have no money, but however, I did get an MRI about 9 months ago. All the findings were normal. No tumors or aneurysms so unless one of those developed after the MRI, I shouldn't have one.
Any advice would be helpful, thanks

Sounds like cluster headaches to me mate. I got em and they ain't funny. I've had mine daily for 5 weeks. Try getting hold of sumatriptan and take it when headache kicks in and if it works you just have to ride em out.

Sounds very much like migraine to me which are NOT nice but do need strong painkillers to be able to cope with them. Many members of my family have suffered with these for years, my mum however does suffer with cluster headaches which are supposed to be horrendous and one of the most, if not THE most unbearable pain ever. The only thing to help cope with these is pure oxygen as painkiller don't touch them. These can last for a few weeks, then nothing for maybe months or years (hence the name) - there are many and then nothing. It really would be best to get checked out if possible - or try to find out what is causing it - heavy perfume, nuts, cheese, coffee, chocolate, too much salt, dehydration???? Good luck.
