Default Killer headaches too

I gave an overview of my story in the new members forum, and, bottom line, doctors have been looking for a diagnosis for me since I was suddenly ill this past February.

There are a variety of symptoms, and the neurologist at this time is focused on perhaps MS or some kind of epilepsy, though I've never had a seizure that I know of. I am having my 2nd MRI this week. My first was when I was hospitalized in March, approx 6 mos ago.

One thing that has been a CONSTANT, but not really addressed, in my opinion, is the fact that I have had a headache almost EVERY DAY since February. I am taking 500 mg of Naproxen a day, but even tho I can take up to 2 a day for the headache pain, I don't want to do that. Even taking one a day, it does NOT take away the headaches, it just makes them bearable.

Does anyone else have regular, daily, obnoxious headaches? I never really had headaches before, except right before getting my cycle, but that headache is nothing like what I've been dealing with now.

I don't know if these would classify as "migraines" or not. The greater focus has been on trying to find an overall diagnosis for the combination of symptoms I am dealing with.

I have had 6-7 concussions in my life (I'm now 39), most during my teenage and college years, though my most recent one was 6 yrs ago, from a minor car accident. However, I've not had regular headaches these past six years.... only since this "mystery" illness has started in February.

I'd appreciate any information or suggestions that others may have.

Does anyone know- are daily headaches a part of MS?? Thank you.
I too get constant headaches, OMG why won't they ever stop
