I have gone from younggrandma to just yg. Now,
I am using my real name.
I don't think anyone who knows me will have trouble figuring out who that is!


I have been gone a while dealing with things in my own life. I am back now to help once again. Do not expect answers from me that just tell you what you want to hear. Life is to short for nonsense. :)

I've had constant headaches for years now. I'm a very high-stress person and the littlest thing can stress me out. I'm in college and during class I always get headaches, I used to in my high school classes as well. I also feel tension in my neck most of the time and have minor scoliosis. That could be part of it I'm not sure. My mom has really bad back issues and has headaches a lot too. I told my doctor and she said it's probably from stress, they never took X-rays or an MRI. My cousin also got really bad migraines and her MRI and X-rays were clear, no tumor. Do you think stress is the reason I get headaches a lot? Also recently, my wisdom teeth are growing in, and my temples sometimes hurt idk why. Any ideas? (link)
I know from experience that stress can indeed cause a big headache. Mine starts in my neck & soon results in a major headache.

Its good you see your doctor. If they continue she will probably do further testing. Your scoliosis could be adding to them.

I put some heat making arthritis cream on my neck if the headache gets really bad & aspirin doesn't help. It can get hot but I prefer that to a headache any day. Might want to try it some time. :)
