Question:
Severe Headache lasting over a month?
OK, first off I have suffered from migraines since I was 14 gettign them about 1-2 a month or fewer. In Feb I was Diag with type 2 diabetes and had my gallbladder out 2 months ago... anyway 4 weeks ago I got this headache over my temples (different from MY migraines) took firocet (nothing) took ultram (nothing) wound up in the ER.. after 12 mg of morphine headache went from 9 to a 4. sent me home with vicodin and told me to see pcp. manged to keep headache under 6 with the vicodin. and pcp says no reason it's your sugar (checked my sugar at the ER 122 ) not my sugar BP 130/80 not my bp... I changed drs when she refused to listen to me.... new doc is baffeled.... this is a constant pain over both tmeples steady pressure, and behind my eyes worsening with extreme eye movement, or closing, I am dizzy and as of today am having visual distubances. (BP and sugar still ok) pain is also worse if I bend over, please help i can't deal with this anylonger

Answers:
keep your appointment with your doctor. continue to keep your headache diary and ask for a neurology referral.
