I have had bad headaches and neck pain
for a few months now. Four weeks ago I
went into the er with the worst
headache i've ever had. I was vomiting
a lot and had a fever (i've had the
fever ever since then). I have the
headaches all day long, usually
varying degrees of pain. They usually
start in the back of my head and progress
to my temples and or behind my eyes. I
had a cat scan, no results, and a
spinal tap that showed a white blood
cell count of 67. I have been
checked for meningitis, west nile,
mono, thyroid problems and a few
other things i'm not sure of but
everything is normal. I'm dizzy,
fatigued, and sick to my stomach and
often throw up daily. Two weeks ago
I got some kind of flu. It started
with a sore throat, then I got a stuffy
nose and cough. I'm pretty much over
it now, just a cough, but the headaches
and other symptoms are still here. I am
tired of feeling like crap! I've had to
drop out of school and can't even really
go out of the house with out eventually
having to go back home feeling like crap.
Does this sound familiar to anyone or
anyone have any ideas????

It sounds like it could be migraine, which
can start out of the blue, especially in
women in their late teens to early 30s.
(you mentioned being in school, so I
assume you're fairly young.)
if you have insurance, your best bet is to
see your doctor and explain your headaches
and nausea. There are drugs that abort
migraines and others that try to prevent
them from happening in the first place.
