    • About Me

      I am a college student who has been suffering with severe chronic headaches for 2 years now. I've been strong and have gotten through everything so far. But dealing with these headaches and my classes is really starting to get hard. Plus it is hard to have much of a social life when I'm always in so much pain.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I've had chronic headaches for 2 years now- and by chronic I mean every second of every day. I've seen every doctor and specialist, tried every drug, and have had every test done, yet nothing worked. For about a year now I've been using alternative medicine which has helped my stomach problems, but hasn't helped my headaches. My headaches are caused by extrememly tense muscles in my neck and back that are resisting chiropractic treatments, trigger point therapy, and massage.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
      worked somewhat, but didn't help enough
      Cymbalta Not Working
      DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! This drug made me devoid of all emotions for about 2 weeks then made me start to feel depressed.
      Marijuana Somewhat Helpful
      It lessened my headache, but wasn't strong enough to get rid of it.
      Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
      I was put on this after leg surgery and it pretty much knocked me out. I slept for a week straight, thus didn't notice my headaces
      Massage Working / Worked
      trigger point therapy places pressure in certain spots on the muscles to relax them. it helps, but my muscles really resist and tighten up a few hours after treatment
