Terrible Pressure

I once again have a headache beyond words. I have pressure that feels like it is going to make my head explode! Ringing in my ears is bad and I am once again starting to get an upset stomach from the this.

I hope to see my NL again soon and I know my MRI is almost a year old but is there any way of telling if there could be some lack of flow by looking at these? Only one on here. The other is on my profile.

I need to push this with my NL. This is getting ridiculous.

I would like to vent more right now and thanks for listening but I am having a rough time and I think I had better try and lay down. (that hurts too)

Right now I take nothing. Haven't since sept. No insurance for a while. It has been horrible. Anything I take over the counter does not work and even when I had vicodin it only took the edge of the pain but did nothing for the pressure. This may be twisted (really wouldn't do it) but the pain gets so bad I want to either bang my head against the wall. I litteraly roll back and forth on the couch. This one is not that bad thank goodness. Its like playing russian roulette. Anyhow......thank u. I will take it easy today.

I know it hard to relax with a pressure headache. But try to find a place of calmness. What do you take at the onset of a headache? I can only sympathize. I hope your hole day isnt ruined from the beast! Try to relax, stress makes it much worse.
