I am so so sorry to read about your constant headache pain these past four months. I've had headaches that last four days; I can't imagine four months of pain. I am so glad that you are getting in and getting help and I'm also glad that your doctors are taking this seriously and looking at all the reasons that could be behind it.
I think your Swine Flu observation is very interesting. I agree with Alison B that calling the CDC is a good idea, just to see if they've heard this before. The computer idea also makes sense. I know the ibuprofen probably helps bring at least a little relief--at least I hope it does--but I've also known people where that actually ends up causing "rebounding" effects, and actually makes it all worse. So that might be a factor too at this point.
I was wondering if maybe the "event" that would trigger this four months ago could be something that you might not even have realized? Like rather than an obvious accident like being rear-ended or something were you by chance at an amusement park in April? I was just thinking that being on some of those big roller coasters might cause a whiplash type injury that you might not even notice at the time.
When you had the Swine Flu, did you take any medications for it that were unusual for you? I'm wondering if that might have something to do with it too.
Please keep us posted on what you find out. Big hugs to you, Michelle
