I've been getting pretty much daily headaches for the last several months.  Sometimes they get to the point where I can't do anything but lie down, other times they are just a pain that I've somewhat learned to deal with.

I have no clue what in the fuck is causing them.  I thought it was school/stress perhaps, as they seemed to get worse in times where I would get stressed out, but then there are other times where I have absolutely 0 stress, and am just chillaxing, and the headache will still be there.  So in that regard, I'm thinking that perhaps the stress is just amplifying them some.  I've been wearing my glasses lately in an attempt to stop them, and it doesn't seem to help.

I've actually went to the doctors for one of the times where the headaches got super bad because it lasted over a week.  We spent a couple thousand dollars on getting scans on my head checking for tumors or anything else wrong, eye appointments, pain medication (no pain medication helps, even for when its just a minor headache), and absolutely nothing is working.

Honestly, I don't know what else I can possibly do about this, it's getting so fucking old to have a lingering headache that at any random ass time, decides to become very painful where I just want to relax and don't feel like doing much of anything.

Edit: Also, I've had issues with headaches for a big part of my life, but they've never really been this consistent, and they usually seemed to happen when I was outside and I got too hot, but that clearly isn't the cause as it is quite cold outside all winter here.

That's actually kinda scary.  You need to go se a neurologist and have an MRI done (maybe even an EEG) to make sure there's nothing wrong up there.  It's expensive but I don't want you to die from a brain tumor or something.  I used to get headaches all the time, too.  Turned out, I just wasn't drinking enough water.

I already had some sort of scan done on my head (not sure what it was called) that cost like $1000, it found nothing (which is a good thing, I'd rather nothing come up than a tumor pop up).

Maybe it is lack of liquids, I'll try to drink a lot of water this week, see if that helps...one can only hope

The weirdest thing (and this is the case with all of my headaches) is that they are actually located in the back of my head, not the front.

I hope it's something that simple.  Mine used to be located right behind my eyeball (can't even remember which one) and all I could do was put pressure on my eye and go to sleep and hope that it would be gone when I woke up.  Headaches are a strange beast.  Could be stress, dehydration, lack of sleep, eye strain, migraines, or any number of other things.  I wouldn't wish a horrible headache on anybody.  You have my sympathy, bro.

Yea, I hope so too, because its starting to affect my school.  I missed class on Friday due to it, and can't hardly pay attention when I do go to class because of my headache.  Now the quiz I made up in Linear Algebra this morning I got an 8/20...which is by far the worst score I've ever gotten on a quiz.

Lets hope I do good on my take home test I have this weekend...like 100/100 good, because I'm starting to get very frustrated with my B grade in a class that should be easy.

iF YOU HADN'T WROTE Already that you already checked for brin tumors I would immeadately suggest that route. As my friend had that problem write before getting brain cancer in the cerebellum,    Pain sucks when the doctors cannot figure things out, are you on heavy narcotics/pain killers that might help some.

Well, the time where it got really bad, the doctors tried to fix it via lots of "light" pain killers (i.e. more over the counter pills than I thought was healthy to consume).  After that didn't work, they tried vicodine, which did nothing.  They then tried amitryptiline, which is generally for depression, but can also be used for chronic pain, and that did nothing.  When the headaches have been more on the minor side, normal pills do nothing, and I've tried vicodine to see if it even stops the minor headaches, and it does nada.

How can it be a rediculous day at 9:50 AM already...

I wake up with yet another headache.  I drive to school (which takes 20 minutes), and realize I forgot to do my accounting homework that was due at midnight last night...DAMMIT.  I get to school, and find out that I completely forgot my bag, which I need, or else its basically a waste of my time.  So, I wind up skipping Geography, which I have a test in on Thursday (granted his discussions don't help at all), and I drive back home so I can get my book.  I get back home, and check my online assignments just to make certain nothing changed with them, and sure as shit, he changed the due date to Wednesday night .  Hoofta...now lets just hope my calc 3 test I get back today looks amazing

Yikes, been mia for months, haven't used consoles in forever (for games anyway, lotta Netflix). Too absorbed in Blizzard games (though I finally quit WoW again), League of Legends (friends stuck on it), movies / music, esports (mainly SC2 scene)...

Wish I had more time, hard to keep up with all my interests ~

Hope VGC's been doin well
