3 Year Headache, Please Help Me Posted: 08-01-06 15:19pm
Hi everyone. I've had a non stop headache
since september 2003. I decided to get
glammed up and get some hair extensions
put in. The hair glue got on my scalp and
I apparently had an allergic reaction to
it. My scalp had sores on it and it was
red and painful. A few weeks later,
externally, the pain went away, but
internally the pain remained. Most people
think that my headache is not the result
of the hair glue and it's a coincidence
that my headache started at that time. I
do have tmj. I've had tmj since early
2002. My headaches are at the top of my
head, it's like a feeling of pressure at
the top of my head and it slightly hurts
behind my eyes. My questions are: can
hair glue on the scalp cause permanent
nerve damage and pain? Can tmj cause non
stop headaches at the top of your head?
From my story, what kind of headache does
it seem that I have and what medications
do you think will help??
Oh yes, yesterday my doctor gave me
topamax. I heard the side effects are
severe. I've only taken one pill. Should
I continue and risk the effects? Do you
all have any suggestions of medications
that work just as well as topamax, but
have less side effects??
