For about the past 4 years I have had what I thought were migraines. I went to a neurologist about it when it first started, which would be when I was 16. It was thought to be stress/ headaches. Now here I am 4+ years later, in a healthy and happy environment and still have there headaches. CONSTANTLY. Some days I think I may lose my mind it hurts so bad and continuously. This is how it feels: Like a ton of pressure on my entire skull, on my worst days the tip of my nose even hurts. It feels like my head might explode any second. And this is daily, 24/7, for the past 4 years :( I want more then anything for these headaches to be gone, I just don't know what is causing them. I can't have another doctor look and tell me nothing is wrong when I feel CONSTANT pain all day every day of my life! (I am 20 years old, about 100 lbs, pretty healty)

Hi SlySuzy and welcome to the forum. I am sorry to read that you are suffering so with the headaches. Four years is a long time to go and not have any answers. ou mentioned seeing a neurologist, have you considered getting another opinion? Not all drs are created equal you know and just because the one said they are not migraines does not necessarily mean that is so. I have a long history of migraines so I get the headache thing.

Another thought would be have you thought about consulting with a group of drs that specialize in headaches only, like the Reed Clinic? You need to find out what kind of headaches you are having in order for them to be treated properly. Not all pain medications work on headaches and can cause rebound headaches.

Anyway, I wanted to pop on and say hello and offer the above. Take care....Susie
