I have Psoriasis Arthritis in the hands neck knees feet lower spine,and now in the neck,ears and head.

The head pain is so severe just a touch is very painful and it radiates to the ears,nose,and jaw.

I also have heart disease Kidney disease and M.E so some medication conflicts with the Psoriasis.

Its the severe head pain that's driving me crazy,any idea ?

    Hi Rozzeron, how awful for you. Have you tried tiger balm? Also sometimes just laying with your eyes shut with a cold or warm flannel can help and crazy as it sounds I sometimes use a gel eye mask which I keep in the fridge.

    I hope something here helps or maybe somebody will come up with something that will. Lisa ☀️☀️😊

    Sorry me again.... Also try upping your fluids. Some of our meds can dehydrate us which can definitely cause pounding headaches Lisa 😊

      Hi Brian whaat did they do for you I'm going through the same thing right now and it seems like the doctors don't know what to do they are giving me shots for the stenosis and spurs on the inside but haven't done anything yet for the Ocipital nerve and the headaches, i believe that i probably have spurs on the outside of my spine that are the cause of the problem, but yes the headaches are ungodly hard to deal with

      Hi marshal third attempt to try and reply the site keeps crashing. If it is occipital nuralger you have my heart goes out to you it is the most painful terrible pain I have ever experienced. They tried nerve blocks various tablets and acupuncture none of it worked. The only thing that I could do was to lay in a darkened room without moving a muscle until the inflammation went down. But if I moved around to much the whole thing started again.

      They eventually tried a procedure where the stimulate the nerve with pulsating electricity. It's not tens it's something completely different. I believe it's called neuro stimulation. I was told it works a bit like resetting a computer turn it off and turn it on again then it works. It's made a huge difference to my life I still have to be very cautious by not doing to much but it has enabled me to have a life again . I used to attend hospital as an outpatient for treatment every two weeks. But fortunately my wife is a nurse and the hospital trained her in the treatment and we purchased our own machine it was expensive but worth ever penny. That's about it hope this helps any more information required please feel free to ask. Hope things improve I know how awful it is take care Brian
