severe headache!

[rachmarie]

i have been suffering from chronic severe head aches for the past 5 months now...i have headaches, neck pain and stiffness, dizziness when standing sitting walking moving positions and while i sleep, i am always tired no matter how much i sleep...i have a hard time sleeping cause of the dizziness haha....i have some memory loss but its not too bad but i get confused a lot haha and i have a really hard time concentrating it takes a lot of effort for me to concentrate
i also have some balance problems since this started and its really weird it isnt that bad its just weird cause im not used to it

sometimes i have a hard time swallowing and sometimes my eyes jump side to side rapidly or my vision goes in and out of focus and is sometimes blurry
i also have nausea sometimes
im really concerned because i havent really had any medical issues ever haha i exercise daily all the time at least 18 hours a week usually more cause i am an athlete so its not like im out of shape or anything im very fit and in great shape so i dont know what it is

well you need the mri to rule out other things but i understand not having insurance. :( Talk to your dr maybe they could try you on some different meds and see if that helps. (ask if they have any samples since you dont have insurance) Hope that helps! Shannon

yea i have been and they said i needed an mri and i went for it a week later and i didnt have insurance anymore to cover it so they havent done it so right now im stuck with no insurance....but i used to get migranes a lot and when i went they said this probably isnt a migrane
i did fall on the gym floor about a year ago and had a major concussion so it could be postconcussive syndrome but its been a long time since so i dont know

Hi! Have you been to the dr about this? If not thats where i would start. It could just be miagraines or it could be something else.
