Years ago I thought I was the only one that got a headache every day. And I mean every day. Then one of my co-workers at CINB told me that she too had a headache every day. So, I’m not alone. Finally one day some months ago I was sent to a neurologist. After a brain scan that detected a tumor – that most likely was not the cause of my headaches – he prescribed a med. I took this med and wonder of wonders – no headache. However as time wore on the headaches – much lessened – started coming back. The med was doubled – no headache, but I was a walking zombie until about 11 in the morning. Back to original dosage. Headaches were minor, but still there. I was willing to live with that. Believe me after 35 years of daily headaches this was still good. ■ Then a couple of weeks ago arthritis in my neck hit. Not only do I have limited movement in my neck, but I have constant headaches. And these are much worse than the ones I previously had. These pulsate. If I turn my head a certain way (and I’m not even sure which way that is at this point) I get sharp pains. If I turn my head abruptly I get sharp pains. And they always pulsate. Pulsate: a good descriptive word. It pulsates enough that it wakes me up in the middle of the night. What a bs way to live.
