Hi.
You may have read my earlier posts about my circumstances and i'm bored with it too but after 40 years of constant headaches and steadily get worse i have got to sort it out as thr thought of another 20 or 30 years of this pain is not very appealing.
I started over with a visit to my GP who refered me to a neuroligist who as usual said nothing to worry about. My GP said the usual tension headache stuff and suggested another go at Amiltriptine, so here i am on 20 mg at night unable to wake until 10 and carry around a lethergy all day. Has anybody else experiened the same thing? and of course my headaches are no better. I am hopeing that a medical proffessional reads my posts and is interested enough to get in touch.
My symptoms... not a part of my head that has'nt ached or hurt, sometimes pressure in my left ear, sometimes visual disturbances ( eyes are ok), sometimes a metal taste in my mouth, sometimes shivvery cold feelings, sometimes sore neck that creeks when i move it and a very sore scalp that hurts to touch and even when brushing my hair.
sorry to go on but getting desperate again. I do hope somebody reads this and can help me.
Thankyou for reading this and no i'm not making it up as i suspect all of the Doctors i've seen think.

the creaking neck I can relate too. My headaches became viscous, far, far worse than the migraines and different--tho doctors weren't over interested as long as I'd not had a stroke or had meningitis.
turned out it was a shifted muscles in my neck, pressing on nerves. Chiropractor sorted it and exercises daily have given me back a lot of head movement and the creaking and clicking us almost non existent.
if you've not seen a chiropractor, might be worth a visit. Cost me £200-300 to get sorted but best money I've ever spent. In last 4 months I've had no more than 3 headaches ( all due to cold type bugs and the awful Norovirus)
before iwas spending 3 days a week on average in agony, barely able to move or speak.
good luck.

How was the muscle problem found? as i have decided to write to my doctor with all my symptoms and possible causes and treatments in the hope he reads it over and investigates properly.

It might be worth a consultation with a chiropractor.

im currently on amitriptiline for my headache, been on them for nearly 2 years now starting at 10mg and now on 50mg.
when I upped my dose I felt foggy and tired all day long but it got better and has been keeping my head pressure to the minimum.
regarding Propananol it did nothing for me, my headach specialist said it's not really effective on daily Persistant headaches like amitriptiline.
