Headaches for 30 years
by: MRC on Tue, Aug 19 2008

When in my early twenties, I contracted a virus that affected several of my major organs; the meninges of the brain, enlarged heart and liver. The headache I experienced at the time was like a sledgehammer hitting my head. I took an epilepsy med for months after to keep from having headaches.

Over the years, whenever I get overworked or overheated, I get the same headache and now they are migraines with nausea and vomiting. By same headache, I mean location–it feels like it is in the center of my brain and I haven’t read any descriptions of that kind of headache pain.

Has anyone out there ever had that type of headache? and/or reoccurring over many years? It is really beginning to interfere with my work and life. Has anyone else experienced these kinds of residual headaches after a viral infection over the span of years? Thanks…
