Welcome to the world of MS! I cant recall the name of the site, but I did read that headaches were one of the most common pains MS sufferers experience. The off balance feeling with lightheaded was my first symptoms, followed by vertigo. The best thing IS to call your neuro on Monday. Good Luck!!! dd

sorry your going through this but it's classic m.s.

I have not been dx'd, but I get headaches daily also, I am topamax. . .you might suggest that. It has really done wonders for me. Good luck.

sounds a lot like a flare-up. For me those are the symptoms...

Sorry about the migraines. Yeah . I get them too. Ting is no drugs help. I have tried them all, Immitrex and all the other ones. Topamax, Toradol.. you name it. My neuro doesn't think they are MS related. have I mentioned my neuro is a boob? He is. The only thing that does work is gravol and perks. I don't like to take them much so it has to be a doozy.

whenever i get headaches i feel like that too! Although it's only recently that i've put two and two together and realized that i get headaches whenever i felt really tired and really dizzy.

i had problems with headaches all the time... once u drink soda that have caffine it works for me.... its addicat to me and i cant drink without or the headache will come back... gotta to keep on soda....

Yes I too get them. I also have this feeling in my head where it feels like my brain is floating in space. That would be my "spacey" feeling. Thank goodness I do not have this all the time. I do get dizzy, am off balance, can't walk a straight line for the life of me and am always accusing my husband of running into me.

Way back when I first began having MS sx but didn't know that I had MS (some 30 yrs ago) I had migrains constantly. Then years later I finally had a dr. put me on Amitriptlyene (Elavil) and I would take one before bed. It did 2 things, helped me sleep better (way too much overall pain) and also decreased my migrains. I stopped taking Elavil last yr. because it was not helping me sleep as well but I rarely get a migrain anymore. Although, today I seem to be getting a migrain! But I am on Cymbalta now for anxiety and neuropathy pain and can't take Immitrex while on that. Dang! Sure wish I could! Hope the Tylenol works or it is going to be a long week. They usually last at least 4 days and I work full time too.

I have RR also so know the ups and downs of this. Please know you will feel better once you become familiar with what to expect and what works for you and what doesn't. Not that that means that you find something that works, then the next time you use it, it will work again. That is the one of the problems with MS. Nothing is certain except that you have MS.

We all know where you are at and how frightening these flare ups can be because we all have been there done that!

Stay here in this safe friendly environment and everyone will help you out and give you support.

I read this daily and get encouragement from just reading and seeing everyone else is doing and it helps me.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

Well you know what? My doctors, all of them, have told me that it is not MS causing my headaches. They don't have MS though, so they don't really know what I mean. I'm so glad you said something! I've been waking up with a headache for a long time now. I don't even know if it goes away anymore! Take some painkiller, my husband says. It helps sometimes, sometimes it doesn't. I thought it was my eyes that were causing my headaches! I thought I was losing my mind! I'm sure glad this web site is here!

I keep forgetting what I was going to say! I've felt woozy for a long time now too. Even before I was diagnosed with MS. I felt all alone because nobody else ever complained of this. I can't even drive right now because I'm so woozy! I almost had a head on collision the other day! I only feel okay sitting here, not moving or anything. i used to be active and bursting with energy. It's hard to get used to this no energy, unbalanced, goofy-feeling. I feel like I've had a bad head injury. My doctors never told me how bad it would get. Or maybe they did and I wasn't listening. That's why I always take my husband along. I wasn't expecting any of this, though. I honeslty don't know what to do anymore. Any suggestions are welcome.
