29, M, the doctor I saw is assuming migraine but since the Imitrex he prescribed did nothing, he wants me to go to a neurologist. Nice suggestion, however not possible at this time (money being the reason).
The MRI w/ contrast of my brain came back normal. I've got a headache that is primarily localized in the right temple ( I feel it sometimes in the left temple, and forehead, but usually its in the right) and I have inflamed blood vessels in that right temple and under my eye. OTC nsaids do nothing or make things worse.
I decided to try some prednisone I had left from a lower back problem that cleared up about a month before the headaches began, but it had no effect (I assumed a inflamed nerve was to blame for the headaches). I have a family history of migraines, but those presented in typical fashion (light sensitivity, msg trigger) whereas this headache is constant and is not light/noise sensitive.
Just looking for suggestions here ... I'm trying yoga, aromatherapy, heat/ice packs ... but obviously not getting anywhere. I'm not using any medications.
Occasionally my neck will be sore, though thats not something that became a problem until a month or more after the headaches began.

So, nothing to be said that could be helpful? Right now I'm going after the inflammation with 10 billion aspirin, because who cares about liver damage or rebound headaches (like I could tell the difference since Ive got a headache every second)...
