I think it's stress but I don't know.


  I had this headache that wouldn't go away so after about a week and a half I couldn't take it anymore and my mother made me go to urgent care.  They said I had a sinus infection which I've had before so I got some pills for it.

  Pretty soon I started getting stomach pains and feeling weak and worse with of course these horrid head pains still going on.  So another week and a half later I was taken this time to my regular doctor who said it seemed like a sinus thing and gave me more pills.

  All this time it was the same headache and just wouldn't go away but my joints started to hurt a bit but my stomach was killing me.  Another week I go to my stomach doctor who suggest galstones, but before the week is up to go get my ultra sound I wake up in the middle of the night in pain crying leaning over the toliet bowl.

  Okay so in the hospital they check me for tumors, galstones, kidney problems and find nothing, just my migraines and of course I'm given more pills.  About a week later the joint pain is severe in my legs and my shoulder (out of place) is killing me.  The headache is still there and the stomache sorenss and now I am spotting brown blood and clots.  

It my be stress since there has been alot of **** going on and yes I'm on the pill and other stuff since I have already been diagnosed with an ovarian cyst, Ibs, acid reflects and migraines.  I just want the headache to spot and i was wondering if anybody had suggestions on what could be the cause of my pains.  Thanks to any who reply.

Thaks for the advice I will see another doctor again soon if I feel worse or worsen.  I remember myself the last time I felt really sick and they couldn't guess what it was.  They thought I had mono and also checked me for anemia and thyroids.  In the end it turned out I had an enlarged spline.

Stress could be whats making things worse but Im sure stress cant cause that much can it? I agree with the above post to get a dr that can find the real problem. Maybe get the tests u had done done again somewhere else. Did the migaine pills help at all? When I have migrane I feel sick and get blackouts, but the joint thing sounds like something else. It could be a few things happening. Maybe while ur trying to get a good dr try things like change what ur eating, (sounds silly I know thats what I got told but its worth a try). Did they check ur cysts? I really hope u get some help, maybe go to A&E in another hosp and see if they can help. The only other thing I can think of is if u can afford to go private it could be worth it All the best

Elevated blood pressure can also cause headaches.  If you're stressed, that could be happening.  Have you had your b/p checked?  I also recommend massage for headaches.  I went through something similar to you with nonstop headaches that lasted from March until June.  Had an MRI, which only showed a severely deviated septum.  So, mine was also chalked up to sinuses.  I went to a massage therapist who really knew her stuff.  It hurt at first, but within a few days I started to feel better.  She also showed me some stretches to do.  Yoga is also awesome for stress and overall health.  Good luck.

get a second and third opinion if you can.......I saw a special report on undiagnoised illnesses where people had all sorts of symtoms and just keep getting pills and pills and tested for evreything but what they really had.  So my advice go get a few different opinions from different doctors before ruling it just stress.
