Feel like I'm becoming depressed

Posted , 8 users are following.

I've had headaches/pressure for close to 3 months. Have went to two doctors who both think they're stress/tension related headaches and nothing serious. I felt pretty ok for a week or so and even had two days with no headache. This week has been kind of bad and I feel like I'm losing hope. I'm afraid if I don't get an MRI I won't have the reassurance that it isn't a tumor. It's been 2 weeks since my last doctors appt and he prescribed muscle relaxers and physical therapy 6 appts. The co pay is too much each time so I went once and I can't afford to keep going. I want to go back to the doctor and ask him to send me for an MRI but not sure if he will. I feel so sad today I feel like I could become depressed cause I'm so tired of hurting and I want to feel normal again.
