Constant headache for 6 months
I'm 23F. Been having constant left side (base of skull) for 6 months or so. Tried every OTC painkillers. Was also prescribed Propranolol which I unfortunately allergic to. Now I'm on Pizotifen and Prednisone, prescribed after my last visit to the ER. I can't bear this headache anymore! I'm thinking of going to the private care but currently am short on cash. It's very disabling.
My symptoms are:
- left side headache (base of skull)
- no light/sound sensitivity
- my left eye constantly watering
- vomiting (if it's too painful)
- slightly elevated bp (highest was 144/93)
- my eyes go blurry (when it's too painful)
- pins and needles on left side of my body (too painful)
I was tested positive ANA but my Anti DNA, C3 and C4 was normal. I checked for SLE because my mum has it and I have other symptoms alongside this worst headache too.
What do I do?
