Headache-dude

Siegfried I know what your talking about. I don't know what kind of head aches these are one night I was driving a friend home and I got hit with unimaginable pain and it didn't stop for almost 2 months. Even when the pain stops there is this weird lingering pressure that stayed in my head behind my right eye and cheek that is maybe a 0.5/10 on a pain scale. 6 days ago the pain started coming back not as strong as before but my eye socket is swollen as hell and my eye is rly hurting. I tried a tramadol last night which helped for maybe half an hour and I just try to distract myself playing games with friends and what not. Today it has drastically improved but I have a brutal aura today. Whenever I have these headaches I see double when reading and looking at some thing but no photophobia right now, usually only out of the right eye. My previous attacks I couldn't handle sunlight but could still game and hang out. The last thing I usually can do is sleep so I just game and program( I'm in school) but I dought I can sit through lectures like this. I am in a bad spot. I have a rly high pain tolerance I have had many injuries but this is just getting rediculous. I am going to a mindfulness clinic and a pain management center to talk with someone about this. I can't even walk my pooch anymore cuz I'm so dizzy all the time. How do you guys find the strength to get anything done specifically work and meeting with friends everything is a mess right now. I am exhausted all day every day I sleep 10+ hours a days cuz I'm so tired. Does anyone else feel overwhelming fatigue during all this? I just use ice packs all day and troop it out cuz most of the medication is a poop shoot. I want to go back to enjoying the little things in life instead of it being drowned out by constant headaches and tinnitus from TMJ issues. I also saw that stimulator implants are a possibility but could this be a possibility? I am very young and I am disappointed that I started getting headaches so early on. No one in my family rly understand they just expect work and school to be a breeze and that I can just sleep this off. Do you guys know of any studies being done I would gladly participate. I am just hoping there is a golden ticket to freedom in pill form or if I take enough CBD it will stop.

I'm in Toronto Ontario area closer to hamilton, there are so many docs I've seen I can't remember if one is a headache specialist. The thing that worries me is my current neurologist just whips out verapamil as a med for me and doesn't send me for check ups or heart EKGs to follow up so I don't want to take it.

It will be a few months until I'm even able to see a neurologist, and i might go to the er if the pain gets severe. Do you know if the ER will have this drug to give me if I go or will my GP be able to prescribe it? Also do you know if MM have any effect on continua? Was just looking it up it is similar to what I'm experiencing. This is pure torture all I can think about is the headache.

Ive taken rizatriptan ODT but it didn't have much effect, but than again I've only taken it twice.

Hi guys thanks for the quick reply, I get them all day every day(Also just to clarify never have had a headache/migraine in my life up until now). There is a constantly pressure and pain behind and around my right eye and the actual eye gets bloodshot and swollen/hurts to the touch. I went to the ER multiple times for the pain and just looked at the medications they gave me. I was given percs 375mg x 2 every 6 hours for 3 days for the first time. 2nd visit was given multiple Toradol injections followed by maxeran and a steroid. 3rd visit same thing but the torodol did not work very effective but got me really high. Took away 70% of the pain but the headache was still there. 4th visit was given a high dose of maxeran with a steroid, did pretty much the same thing as the torodol but a little less relief. After that they had no other medication to give me, the ER by my area doesn't take the headache very seriously neither does my doctor. They didn't try oxygen on me. I begged my doctor for it but because " she hasn't heard of anyone doing that" she wont prescribe me oxygen. The neurologist I saw recently just gave me verapamil to try but reading the side effects and problems that can come to your heart I am a stiff no go for that one, I have bad side effects to many medications. There has to be a better way. I don't drink or do drugs, i smoke marijuana and cigarettes which I know can be a cause for clusters. As for right now I am in a 7/10 pain constantly throughout the day, with spikes every little while in behind my eye/around it that happen every hour or hour and a half and are really painful. My entire face hurts but I am just battling it out. I would rather live with the pain than have to deal with bad side effects from medication even if I cant do anything. Also if this is helpful, I have intense TMJ problems, my jaw is out of place a good 50% of the time and it is always swollen/ clicking and grinding on the joints. Could this be part of the problem associated to my headaches? I had a wisdom tooth pulled about a year and a half ago and they messed something up in my face on the left side and it has been going numbing and painful since. Now I have these headaches on the right that started august 13th exactly. Also am seeing double/blurred vision out of right eye, and very dizzy. I just use ice packs on head all day and smoke weed. Also i know MM will take time to grow but I have all the time in the world and know I could grow a good batch and use a low dose in pill form preferably. I could try and get through a friend but don't trust the quality. Meds I am on right now: Tramadol 375 x 1 when needed. Ibruprofen as needed. Xtra strength 400mg. over the counter tylenol. Advil as needed. Naproxxen 500mg x1 as needed for Joint pain. .75-1.25 ML of CBD oil. 2-3 joints a day with marijuana. Took a 2 month break and had no effect. So Would rather smoke and deal with the pain.

Hi everyone, recently over the summer I got my first cluster headache attacks. I spent 2 months in constant pain and nothing worked to kill the headache. One day it just disappeared but not completely. I had 4 weeks of relief but I have a weird lingering headache that doesn't hurt(but is uncomfortable) all the time. Recently mid way through November the headaches are back but I think I may have chronic because it never stops. Its a constant burning behind my eye going down to my ear,nose,head, and it lasts 24/7 without relief. I take 0.75 ml of CBD rn and some ibuprofen for the pain but it does nothing. A crapload of meds from the er that didn't help but got me rly high, and was prescribed verapamil but don't think I will try it. I am looking for magic mushrooms at the moment but am thinking of growing for myself. I also have a bottle of tramadol from the er that they prescribed and it doesn't do anything. Where do I start and where do I begin trying to bust the headache my doc won't write me a prescription for oxygen and no doctors are any help at all. I want to finish school and can't at the moment. Please help! I don't know how long this headache will last if it is anything like the last one it will be more than 2 months before relief.
