It has happened before but not for along time. Last time it happened i ended up at the neuros office for a shot and a mri.. Don't really want to do that since I just moved 4 hours away and really cant afford an mri right now (lost my job a couple of weeks ago).
Any ideas what might be going on? Stress was my first guess, but if that were the case I would think the migraine meds and muscle relaxers I usually take would have worked...
vodpop........I feel for u. Just off the top off my head I thought of one thing.....do u snore? If u do there is probably a good chance that u may have sleep apnea...........one main symptom is waking with headaches. I have that.........I use a CPAP machine at nite to help my breathing.......when I don't use it I usually wake up with a whopper of a headache!

Just a thought ...........Good luck in your search 4 answers!
