A headache that will not stop

I hope someone can help as I am begining to lose hope.  I have an almost constant headache, usually on the right side of my head but it does "travel" from time to time.  It is usally pressure, but sometimes it is burning, sometimes stabbing and sometimes it feels as if water is running INSIDE my head.  I have been to a nuerologist )2 of them, actually) a rheumoltologist (2 of them as well) an allergist and my GP.  I had a MRI and a CT scan and both were "normal."  I was taking Nifedepine for Raynauds when the 2nd nuerolgist said that was likely causing the headaches so stop taking that.  I did, no change.  Does anyone out there have any insight?  Please?!

5 days ago I got a minor headache and throughtout the day and into the night, I was in tears with my head pounding. The next day it seemed to ease up and get worse, ease up and get worse. By that night I had the sharpest pain in the back of my head it dropped me to my knees. I had a blood pressure monitor that I had been using, all day it had been lower than normal, which is normal for me, but when the nauseating pain came it was 180/100. I went to the emergency room, they gave me a demerol shot and a steroid shot , gave me a ct scan, which was normal, gave me a prescription for fioricet, and sent me on my way. The fioricet is not working and now I am on day 5. I cannot stand it anymore. Any suggestions?

Look at my post of Sept 08, 2009 - this will help you get better gradually.

Been feeling okay - not good, but okay - for a while and then today, BAM. My head has been hurting for a few hours, right side like always, and as funny as it sounds, it feels like someone opened a faucet inside my head and left the water running.  Anyone ever get that feeling?

I have had a daily migraine since 1998.  Medication was my trigger.  They unfortunately tried to treat me with more meds inducing more headaches until it because permanent.
I've had every test possible and tried every drug possible and nothing helps.
I  have been suicidal for with this last year being the best.  A sleeping med called ambien helped with the pain was helping with pain and sleep but ow is causing migraines as well.
I have two beautiful cats that will have no home...is there anyone out there who would take them before I have to bring them to a shelter.  Thank you.
