Have you had your optic nerves checked for papilledema? Or have you had a spinal tap to check your spinal fluid pressures? There is a disesase called Intracranial Hypertension or Pseudotumor Cerebri. I have it and it was found after I had had a headache for 4 1/2 years. It might be something to check in to. An opthalmologist is someone that could verify it.

Has anyone checked you for cluster headaches?

Can you describe how the headache comes on and how frequent they are and what the pain is like?

My daughter has Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension as well. She suffered from intense headaches accompanied by vomitting for 2 weeks before we got her a MRI to diagnose. Have you had a loss of energy (lethargy) or lost weight lately?
