This sounds very frustrating. What do you feel your options and next steps are?
I can't provide much information, as if you feel you were tested for "everything", and without knowing your medical history and background, it would be a guessing game for us, too.
I can tell you that if your doctor says, "it should go away" and it hasn't, a follow-up phone call needs to be made to ask what your next steps and options are. If you do not feel like you have doctors who are competent and/or who are trying to help find answers, it could be a good idea to seek a second opinion.
Do you feel that any of your headaches and cramping are caused by any environmental factors, or even by lifestyle factors (excess stress, depression, anxiety, poor sleep, inadequate diet or exercise)? Have your doctors discussed these factors with you (besides just ruling out any underlying medical condition)?
There are many treatment options that women have used to help with symptoms including headaches and cramping, especially when no medical condition can be pinpointed. Some of these include acupuncture, deep relaxation exercises, yoga, and even counseling.
