Hello Jennifer, Glad to see you around again.

Yes, headaches can be a symptom of MS, at least that's why my neuro always asks me about headaches whenever I see him.

I have headaches that go way back. When I was a kid my headaches were so bad it was extremely painful to move. In my early 20s my PCP would prescribe Tylenol w/Codeine(sp). That was the only thing that gave me relief, I took it when needed for a few years then came the MS dx.

I have had a headache that I have gotten very little relief from for a few months. I keep thinking I need to see my Doctor

What complicates things is headaches can be caused by different things other than MS:

Hormonal changes
Sinus problems
Allergies
Certain foods
Caffiene

Neuro or GP? Flip a coin But, it's probably a good idea to see one of them and not do what I do....wait
