What is up with the Headaches and Neckaches all day long? It feels like you have a stiff neck all the time. I am trying not to have to take anything for the pain. But this is making it really hard. I am new to all this MS junk. My neuro. just diagnosed me in May with possible MS. I am waiting on another MRI results from this past week. I am tired of doctors and test. And the LP was horrible! I had the most unbearable headache for 7days! I could actually understand people killing themself because of pain. It was 24/7! I couldnt go to the bathroom without crying. And I have a high tolerance for pain. I have had 6 kids without any pain meds. and this was worst by far. How do you keep going through this med. free? excuse my typing, I am having a hard time with it and writting right now too. My brain just isnt working with me~

You are now in a select group of people. I told my neuro last week my head felt like a bowling ball on a toothpick. LOL!!! PT started Friday.
Your muscles are probably tense. Just try to relax. With all those kids that might be hard.

And sounds like you may have had a leak like me after your LP! Isn't is just HORRIBLE?! Yes, I wanted to die, seriously. Partly b/c I was also 22 yrs old, paralysed and just found out I had MS, Buuut, I am not talking just a severe headache, more like the most gruesome migraine you could ever imagine. I was also in bed for a solid week, with 24/7 pain and whenever I tried to even lift my head an inch, my head felt as if it would explode. Finally, boyfriend at the time got me in my w/c as I just HAD to get up! Well, I tossed my cookies everywhere from the headpain of my brain almost sitting directly on my spine since I had lost all that spinal fluid! Stupid docs did not catch it, but I leaked and should have been patched! It was just bad :(
I do know what you mean about the constant stiff neck, have had it for years. I do try to roll my head around and then the other way, so you might try that, as it does loosen up a bit. Ice and/or heat could also help do the trick.
And labor with no pains meds?! You go girl!
Good luck!
I can totallly relate to how you feel!!
