Permanent Headache: Day 219 - Hemicrania Continua
The more I read of personal accounts and stories, the more I believe HC is what I have. My headache started in April 2010...no history of headaches and no family history. I've had every test imaginable and been to every specialist I could. They got better around Thanksgiving of 2010 but gradually crept back starting in February 2011 and hit full force with a vengeance in the past month. The latest episode ended with a visit to the ER with bloodpressure spiking at 200/100, IV's with Toredol and yet another CT scan that showed nothing. This is the most depressing, distressing, misery I've ever experienced. I'm headed back to the neuro./headache specialist that suspected HC.
It's sad to hear about the pain and suffering of others but comforting that people can relate and sympothize and I'm not alone or crazy!
