I have had a headache for going on six months. i've seen every type of dr. you can imagine...my gp, an optometrist, a neuro opthomalogist, a pathologist. i've been on tons of medication including topamax, verapomil (sp) and now depakote. nothing stops this headache. sometimes it is tolerable (3 or 4 on a scale of 1-10) and then other days it keeps me totally debilitated. during the course of trying to figure out what is causing this, i've had ct scans and mri's (all normal). i recently had an mra/mrv but don't know the results yet. also while digging for answers, it was discovered that i have diabetes (type 2) and sleep apnea (am using the cpap, but it is not helping the headache...in fact, it seems to aggravate it). the pain in my head ranges from sharp, shooting pain up the back of my head to feeling like i am wearing a cap and the headache is over my whole head. visual distrubances are minimal. eyes have not changed and no nausea (to indicate migraine). can anyone help?
