MicroMan,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. It sounds like you are suffering a classic case of post concussion syndrome with post trauma head aches. Has anybody suggested your neck, especially your upper neck as a cause of your head aches ? Injury at C-1 and C-2 can cause muscles spasms that can cause persistent head aches. Treatment can be difficult to find.

A simple experiment is to touch the bony spots behind the ears. If they are tender, this points to an upper neck injury. Absence of tenderness does not necessarily exclude an upper neck issue.

A DTI MRI may be helpful at identifying a organic injury. It does not identify the injury but it can show that an injury does exist.

It will help to learn to identify the specific triggers in your triggering activities. Over-stimulation is a common trigger. Multiple voices can be one. Too much visual clutter can be one. Along with identifying them, learning to recognize when you are about to hit your limit is also helpful.

Have you attempted to follow your blood pressure and see if it parallels your head aches ?

If you have not already, you should read the Vitamins sticky at the top.

Feel free to ask any question. We have heard them all. Lots of experience here.

btw, What kind of work do you do ? What is your living environment like ?

My best to you.
