Dan,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear you have been in such pain for so long.

The first question is simple. What have you done during the past 7 months to help with your recovery?

What kind of diagnostics and treatments have been offered/tried? What meds have you tried?

Have you had any diagnostics of your neck, specifically your upper neck?

Have you continued with school studies and an active life?

Do you consume caffeine, energy drinks, alcohol, MSG, artificial sweeteners, recreational substances, etc?

Any more history of your past year and years playing contact sports will help us understand your condition better.

Please help us by using a double line spacing every 5 lines or so. It makes it much easier to follow from line to line.

What is your general health like? Have you had your blood pressure tested during your worst head aches?

There are plenty of people here who understand what you are going through. Stick with us and we will help you understand your condition.

My best to you.
