Hello
i have just joined this forum and would
like help with my first medical question
please.
I am, I would say a 'headachey person'
having suffered with migraine for many
years.
Just recently , I would say in the past
6-8 weeks, I have been getting a different
kind of headache, I will try to explain.
I have a pain behind my right ear that
goes up the back of my head, it doesent
feel 'inside' my head like a migraine,
more just under the skin.Most of the time
it is an ache but at times its a
'shooting' pain like an electric shock and
I get what I can only describe as a
stinging feeling on my forehead above my
right eye, also a pulsing feeling at the
back of my nose. This pain is with me all
the time in one or other of the forms I
have described
i have seen my Dr. And was given
antidepressents which just made me feel
'out of it' all day so I don't take them
.
I have made another appointment to see her
again next week, as I am beginning to get
worried as to what it might be.
I have joined this forum to get another
opinion, and so hope you can help me.
Mary

I saw your message and I have signed up as
I am suffering the same thing. I don't
have a history of headaches, I never
suffered as a child or a teenager, but I
have everything that you've described, and
also a dull lulling headache. My gp tried
me on anti depressants, and then on anti
epilepsy drugs, and then on stronger
anti-d's but nothing worked and I am off
to see a neurologist soon with any luck.
