Anyone else with constant headache?
My constant pressure headache and pressure/pain on my eyes for years finally let my doctors to have an MRI done half a year ago. They found a tumor in the fourth ventricle.
3 months ago I had my surgery. It was a pilocytic astrocytoma. And luckily did not grow in the 3 months between when it was first found and the time of the surgery.
Sadly it was not a gross resection. I guess around 30% is still left, mostly around the edges, maybe they did not want to take a risk damaging the brain stem or cerebellum. Luckily the csf is flowing again and my ventricles are starting to get smaller!
However, I still have my 24/7 headache and pressure/pain on the eyes. I am also still very dizzy after this surgery, luckily the dizziness is getting less.
Anyone else with these headaches? I have been prescribed amitriptiline 10mg/day to combat the headaches. Its been 3 weeks now, but its not working yet.
