Venting Anyone else have chronic headaches?

[SUlClDE]

I have headaches in my frontal lobe 24/7, feels like someone's putting on rubber bands or squishing my brain, anyone know a solution to this? I can't go to a doctor currently and I'm pretty sure It's chronic, it's tolerable most of the time but gets a lot worse during specific periods

Yes. See a neurologist and ask for ubrelvy or a triptan medication. In the meantime, try Excedrin, it's the only otc painkiller that always works for me

Yes I suffer from migraines and CSF flow
Problems which create some fun head pounding feelings. I really should get a new brain MRI but my new insurance has a super high deductible and what I make in wages barely covers living expenses. Yay healthcare in the US.

My headaches and migraines are 50-75% of the reason I want to CTB.

I couldn't imagine having a headache 24/7.
Randomly I get headaches at varying degrees of pain and length, but I have really bad migraines that sometimes last 2 days and I can't function. Makes make me wish i could CTB even more.

I've tried multiple medications with no help. I hope you can eventually get something to ease the suffering. Sometimes drinking lots of soda and eating very salty things helps me. You could try that maybe?

Yes! When I was younger I had headaches so often that I built a tolerance to ibuprofen. I have to take 8 at a time in order to get any therapeutic effect.

I've been diagnosed with migraines for years now and I really recommend a triptan! I just did my first round of botox so we'll see how it goes.

If you're unable to see a doctor - perhaps a chiropractor? You'll feel worse the first day but it does eventually help
