Well, let's just start off saying I laugh a LOT, and quite hard at that. But over the past few months, I have been having some extreme pains in my head when laughing, bending over, and doing any sort of physical activity. The thought of a sit-up kills me, just imagining the pain it would cause. I can't walk for long periods of time, or even run at all. Usually the pain would just occur when actually laughing or doing the physical activity, but a couple of months ago I began to have headaches all the time. The pain was SO severe that about all I could do everyday was sit through school in agony and come straight home and go to sleep. The headache never went away for even a day or two for a bit over a month. When I went to the doctor his best guess was that it was a tension headache. I also have a social disorder, so I am sometimes kind of nervous when I am around many people, but I really do not believe that was the case at all with my headaches.. I wasn't under any stress at all, I was actually much happier and more carefree than usual.

I got a brain scan, and it turned up nothing. I have tried two different medicines so far, one for tension headaches and one for migraines.. and neither did any good. I am not sure exactly what to do at this point.. the pain is starting to come back again like it's about to start another one month spree, and I really do not know if I can take that again.. lol, thank you for reading.. if anyone could help at all, I would be VERY very thankful =)

  1. Well I suffer from Migrane headaches.  Have been tested and tried many many medications.  What has worked for me that my doctor had me try is this.  Hot compresses on my head.  I mean really hot, as hot as you can stand and not burn yourself.  Then I take 3 advil and one hour after I've taken the advil I take 3 extra strength tylenol.  This in combination with the hot compresses eventually alleviates the headache.  THe doc said it's "breaking" the headache.  So you continue untill the pain goes away.  Ask your doctor about it, it's helped me tremendously.  Feel better soon!!


  2. go to a chiropractor or get acupuncture.

    i guarantee that one of those will work.

    good luck!!
