Confused Chronic Headaches, No Known Cause

I have chronic headaches. I also have muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders, and dizziness and confusion, but the main issue is the headache that won't go away.
It's been four long months, and the doctor's conclusion is that I simply suffer from chronic pain due to over-active nerve tension, probably caused by Occipital Neuralgia.
He says that treating the ON will not get rid of my chronic pain, but make it possible to take me off some of the medication that is probably making the dizziness worse. I just had my first facet injection!

In short, I have symptoms seen in trauma or whiplash patients or elderly people, but no cause or trigger.
I'm looking for anyone else with this problem, or something simpler. I don't want to be in pain for the rest of my life, but it appears it may be that way. Help or thoughts?
