Do you by chance know if you have a family history(any close relatives) that have had these same headaches? I hit 50 this year and have had these same headaches for over 30 years. Neurologist can't find anything, just had CAT scan for brain and sinuses again this year..to no avail. Have tried blood pressure meds "channel block", you name it, I've tried it too. I have migraines as well. I refuse to go to a pain control place, as I am not about to get strung out on Lortabs or oxy-whatever. I did have a cerebral anuerysm 8 years ago. But even with the state of the art titanium clip up there, I still have the headaches. Can't have another MRI because of the magnet. I, like you have spend a fortune on medical bills, tests and meds to no avail. I do have a fmaily history , Grandmother and Aunt who have the exact same type headaches, and no one can figure it out. I wish you all the luck in the wrold. You can PM if you wish. I tried to email you, but could not get through. Hope you find this!

I'm sorry about the email, it's jamescampbell4@gmail.com - sirjaz@gmail.com will work too if the problem persists. I think I had a space in there on accident. as for the family history, no. None of my uncles, aunts, or grandparents have had anything similar.

I think I did leave out the part where I had a CT and MRI done. Which are important but both concluded nothing.

Have you seen a chiropractor? Some good ones I've met say that there is a good chance that it could be a cause, I read about one person who had a constant headache for 15 years after a motorcycle accident, and a chiropractor 'fixed' it. That is still one thing I'm thinking about starting up again.

Thank you for your feedback and interest.

Hi James, Yes I have been to chiropracter, and I am seriously thinking about going back for adjustments. I just want t ofind a Dr as great as the one I was going too! I went several years ago and of course I was "out of line" after several adjustments, I could feel hte tension gone from my neck and headdaches did seem to be less often. Although when ido have one, it seems to be constant, can't take NSAIDs because of gastritis, but take Fiorcet and this relieves the pain... most of the time. If your's are like the ones I have its always there, kinda hiding in the back. Noise and light sensitivity unbeliebable! Hope you find some relief!

Something else you may want to try is finding an Osteopathic Physician who does cranial sacral work.

“Osteopathic physicians know that structure influences function, so they look for areas of the body where the structure may be altered and made more normal through manipulation in order to improve function to a particular body region, which then influences the entire body. Osteopathic physicians believe that the body has innate self-healing mechanisms that are key to restoring well-being and maintaining health, and that the physician’s job is to provide the proper supportive therapy or preventive measure to help the person return to health or to maintain health. Osteopathic physicians are trained that rational patient care is based on integration of these principles.” AACOM (American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Manipulation)

Often, when people hear about osteopathic manipulation, they compare it to chiropractic adjustments or massage therapy. In reality, osteopathic manipulation is different from both of these types of manual therapy for a number of reasons. One primary difference between osteopathic manipulation and other forms of therapy is that an osteopath has the medical training to treat underlying disease, as well as to treat muscle and spinal disorders and injuries. Furthermore, osteopaths are skilled at being in tune with the body, and working with a patient’s own muscles and tissues to correct a problem, rather than forcing them into place, only to have the problem re-occur again.

What should I expect when I visit an Osteopath?
Be prepared to discuss your current medical problems and your past medical history, including accidents, illnesses, hospitalizations, injuries, surgeries, allergies and any family medical problems. These have a significant impact on your current condition-whether you realize it or not! Your first visit is a detailed consultation with the physician which includes your health history and an examination. The doctor will then discuss his findings with you and a decision will be made as to further treatment. We will keep your family physician advised of your conditions and progress as we care for you. As always, your care is conducted in a style of partnership between you and your Osteopathic physician.

What types of problems does an Osteopath treat?
Osteopathic physicians are not limited to treating injuries of the spine, although this is an area in which they excel. In addition, they can treat any musckuloskeletal injury, assist in recovery from Auto Accidents and falls, chronic headaches, sinus infections, upper back and neck pain, hip pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, unspecified problems with fatigue, insomnia, body aches, healthy living and weight management, and even autism.


In addition, if you have not already done so, you could try acupuncture. If all else fails, you do not have to live with and deal with the pain on your own. Find a pain management specialist who can assist you with medication management. You have a right to appropriate pain control and a caring, empathetic individual who can help you control your pain, regardless of whether or not you have a diagnosis. The bottom line is that you have pain.

Best of luck to you.
