I have had this stupid headache for two weeks. It turned into a migraine following an aura episode three days ago, which I can deal with. The continual pounding is no longer but everytime I cough it feels like the top of my head is being sawed off!!!!!!!!! So much so that my head is now sore.

I am light-headed but think that is from the anxiety that the headache brings on, which is alot. I have also noticed that when I sneeze lately my head tingles for a few seconds immediately afterward.

What the heck is going on? does anyone know? I hate this - especially right here at Christmas!!!

Thanks for reading this and for any info.

Hugs to you and Merry Christmas,
Jeaninne

Hi Jeanine, I've had the horrible 2 week headache too, maybe even longer. I didn't think it was my sinuses cause I wasn't stuffy or runny, but I started doing the sinus rinse thing anyway. That seemed to help some, but I'm still getting them so bad that I have to lay down for several hours every afternoon. Noise and light irritate the heck outa me. I'm also feeling it in my neck. I don't know if I've picked up a virus or not. If I have, this has been the longest dang virus I've had.

Get well, my friend and try to have a Merry Christmas,

bev

Jeaninne> you poor thing> been there and done that! Meno headaches are in my top 3 worse sympton of peri-menopause!

Dear Jeaninne
You have my full sympathy.Have just recovered from a very long bout of severe sinusites.Felt like my head was being pounded by hammers.Was given two different types of anti biotics by the ENT specialist plus muscle relaxant as I was all tensed up because of the pain which made it worse.

Am feeling better now but really hope you get some relief too.Stress may also be a culprit.Have you had a check up?

Warm Greetings

Jeaninne....sounds like a sinus infection to me.....

Thank you all for your replies. Thank goodness it was definitely a migraine, just lasted longer than usual for me. I hope this is not a sign of things to come for me. I have had these migraines since I was 6 and am ready for them to go away.

Hugs to you all,
Jeaninne
