Hi, wondered if anyone had anything similar and managed to work through it. My husband has had a tension type headache since April of this year. We've tried everything and are desperate to try and sort it, we're waiting for his appointment to come through from the neuology department. He's been seen by ENT, it's not sinus related, he's had a CT scan which didn't show anything. He's having accupuntcure (3 sessions so far), sports massage, osteopath sessions, tried amatriptalyne and felt dreadful and has now started taking topirimate which isn't much better and isn't helping. General painkillers don't touch it at all. We are trying to get an appointment with a hypnotherapist.
There's nothing new or different about our lives, no obvious triggers. He's always suffered a bit with headaches and more frequently over the 12 months before this constant one kicked in. We have a healthy(ish) diet, he doesn't drink much alcohol or caffeine or smoke etc drinks plenty of water. He's fit and healthy in all other respects.
It's now just awful, he's exhausted, depressed and starting to struggle to hold it together, his mental health is taking a serious battering as he tries to keep going with normal family life.
Has anyone else suffered like this with headaches and did you manage to fix it?
