Stage IV MBC
I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you can find something that bring relief. Living in pain is awful. Hugs
Thank you Erica2! Having these headaches disrupts my whole life! Ice helps as does heat sometimes. These headaches wake me up in the morning and are pretty much every 4-6 hours, everyday of my life. It has become worse than the cancer!
Me. The best thing that helps me is deep tissue massages. After years, I’ve kinda figured out tension headaches turn into mega migraines for me. Some so bad (and lasting for days) that I feel like bashing my head into the wall. Like just make it stop.
A deep, neck, shoulder upper back massage and cupping has worked wonders.
Also a trigger for me is low iron (I’m anemic - had a 2 week headache recently luckily not a mega migrane but bad enough), so I take that, but I’m still like 10 when I need to be 12+ on whatever that count is.
HOT Espom salt baths with an ice pack on my head in red light/Infared light also for headaches helps
Never taken drugs before BC (except the occasional OTC headache meds). So sorry your doc said there's nothing he can do--not acceptable!!Seriously considering taking those medical marijuana gummies!!
I have been through all the drugs that are suppose to be for migraines/headaches to no avail. I do take OTC meds as at least I get a little relief. But, like you, concerned for my liver. I meditate but that only lasts a short time. I am at my wits end! I just saw a highly knowledgeable neurologist last week - nothing he can do!! Isn’t that encouraging! Ugh!
