Daily Headaches After Visiting Africa
Ever since I went to Africa (Rwanda specifically) almost 3 years ago, I have been dealing with headaches that do not go away. I wake up every morning with a headache and go to bed every night with one and the only thing that changes is the intensity of the pain. The symptoms include a heat sensation, inward pressure, slight dizziness, and two cases of vertigo since they started. The headaches started almost 2 weeks into my trip and I have seen numerous doctors (2 neurologists, vision doctors, physical therapists, primary care physicians, ect).
No one could tell me anything except that my neck seemed to be tight. I have had blood work, MRI's, and catscans. I have tried various migrane medications, watching and changing my diet, consistent exercise, ice, heat, acupuncture once, physical therapy and currently take a low dose of nortiptylene, which helps only a little (not enough to make a big difference). Someone recently suggested that I get tested for brain parasites and at this point, I am willing to look into anything!

Start doing this everyday to get to the underlying problem of headache.Within 2 weeks, you will notice a difference.I will post more techniques later to build your immunity, after watching your progress.Try to drink warm water and plenty of it.
Build up your timing gradually.If you feel tired or dizzy, stop and resume after one minute.

That is something I have not yet tried. Recently, I have been reading up on parasites and a lot of my symptoms seem to be in line with parasitic infections. Thank you for the suggestion.
