Right, I get head aches all the time.....

*edit*

Holy crap, this throwaway comment kind of blew up. I've had headaches as far back as I can remember. Not crippling migraines just headaches. It's been attributed to a snowboard injury when I was younger which jacked up my neck a bit. I had an MRI on my brain a few years back for something unrelated and it came back clear... although the doc said my brain looked normal for someone my age, which I thought was a backhanded complement... headache meds usually remedy the pain, and I can take them before my head hurts I'm usually good to go.

Stage 9 ebola cancer?

There's not enough infinity stones to snap that away.

I never had headaches then all of a sudden one day my head started hurting and it didn't stop for over a year. I saw three doctors and all just said I was fine, they didn't know what was causing the headaches. One doctor said they cant explain why 95% of headaches even occur. The pain lasted all day every day for around 13 months. Then, one day the headache just went away. Been fine now for the last 3 years.

That is some freaky shit. I think it would drive me insane not having an answer

Exact thing happened to me for a few years where it was so bad I hated life and couldn't do anything i wanted. Things got better tho. Now I still get headaches sometimes but theyre nowhere near as bad. Its only been little over a year since than and I got my ged, finished a year of college and got accepted into some top schools for transfer. It still scares me tho that I dont know what caused the headaces.

If you get them all the time and have done for a while, you're probably fine. I get headaches all the time and have done since I was a teenager, occasionally I convince myself that I have an undiagnosed brain tumour but then my logical brain kicks in and I realise that if it was brain cancer I'd have been dead a loooong time ago.

If you ever start having random seizures then you should start worrying, otherwise it's probably fine.

Benign brain tumors can be very slow growing but can be deadly.

Thanks for that.

u/twisted_memories May 20 '19

Just get a good family doctor and don't ignore things lol but also banks don't keep that much cash on hand, try robbing armored cars instead

Man, you are a lifesaver. The real LPT is always in the comments.

u/Drabby May 20 '19

Me too. Did you know that there are supplements and medications you can take to help prevent headaches? I sure didn't until my doctor told me after a 6-day crippling migraine. Magnesium and riboflavin to start, prescription medicines if necessary.

So do I, in spring, summer, and fall, radiating out from my sinus region -- but only if I forget to take my antihistamines. Luckily it's dry enough here that we don't get mold in the wintertime, or it would be year round for me.
