A real fun one is rebound headaches. Spent a few months with horrifically painful headaches. Turned out it mostly from painkillers. More I took. Worse headaches Got.
My other less painful headaches that started the cycle were an actual brain issue. Just took a few years to get correct diagnosis.
Eventually had a cycle of one round of pain killers every other day. Cycling through To a different kind each time. This mostly worked until I got excess brain fluid drained off. Which actually solved issue.
- Obscurity4340 4y agoWhat was the ultimate underlying pathology?
- treeman79 4y agoHigh cranial pressure (IIH) and lots of minor strokes. Apparently I’m genetically prone to clots. (Factor 5)
- fanick 4y agoDamn, I think I might have similar issues. Also diagnosed with Leiden. Should I be worried?
- treeman79 4y agoSo you have any symptoms of TIAs? I had symptom of one every 6 months or so since high school. Got exposed to some chemicals and it went to a couple per week. Blood thinners keep it under control.
- fanick 4y agoI got hospitalized once with the suspicion of having TIA but it turned out to be migraine with aura. I had those since I was a kid but never so intense (part of vision going poof!). I identified that the trigger is intensive smells (like vinegar for example).
