Starting almost 2 weeks ago Friday woke up with a headache which is unusual for me and continued through the weekend and to Monday was taking ibuprofin/aspirin all weekend. Tuesday had it to the point was almost like migraine sensitive to light and nauseated to dizzy and my whole head was throbbing down to my neck and upper back. Started to go down after taking some migraine meds over counter stuff, but could still feel it. Went to doctor on Thursday she took blood work and prescribed anti-biotics she felt I had some type of infection (possible sinus but never had one of those before). I have no congestion, no runny nose, slight jaw pain, slight fever somedays, very tired, and lots of fluids I have been drinking.

She called me the next day and said all my blood test came back normal except my potassium was slightly high. I told her my head pain was worse that day she instructed me to go to e.r. I went there and they did ct scan and blood work all came back normal. They pumped me full of fluids, benadril, and some meds for nausea slept rest of day. Still have had slight head pain since then to severe and now it is the following Wednesday. They suggested spinal tap, not sure I want to do that. I have throbbing pain and sometimes sharp pains all over my head, I have pain in the back of my head feels like someone fist is put in my back of head, radiates down to my neck to upper back, had a slight fever a few days, some nausea, dizzy spells, and very tired. I need some advise or help please working on my 2nd week of this. Thank you!
