Constant headache for 2 1/2 years

Hi ,

Ugg, that's so frustrating. Living with daily head pain is exhausting. I'm afraid your husband is not alone, there are many of us who live with daily head pain. That doesn't make it any easier for you and your husband, but knowing you're not alone is important.

I think it's a good idea to see a doctor who is an expert in treating migraine and headache disease when we have daily head pain. These expert doctors are certified in headache medicine, and not all neurologists are. General neurologists may be fine doctors, but have a hard time being experts in one area because they treat so many conditions such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Parkinson's and others. Let me share information on how these doctors are different and how to find one; https://migraine.com/blog/really-find-headache-specialist/
These expert doctors will also be able to give your husband an accurate diagnosis, which is vital so he can get the correct treatment and learn all he can about his particular type of headache disease.

Please let me know what you think,

I am in the same boat as your husband. I have been on multiple medications and finally have an appointment to try Botox treatment next week. I have also just started having sessions with a chiropractor, the first session he advised tension in my neck and so did a massage... I slept amazing that night unfortunately the past 2 sessions haven't had the same effect but it definitely helps loosen the muscles of tension which may reduce the severity of pain slightly?

Its awful isn’t it. I hate watching him struggle with every day tasks all the time due to a constant thundering headache. They are now trying beta blockers before possibly moving onto nerve block injections and Botox has been mentioned. I hope the Botox treatment gives you some relief!

Thanks Nancy. We are in the UK, but I will see what I can find out about specialist migraine doctors
