Hi Erica, I am new here. I have suffered with a Constant Severe Headache for a little over 14 months now, and feel your pain. Were you diagnosed with Fibromyalgia? I know the Dr's normally give Lyrica to Fibromyalgia Patients. The bad thing about Daily Headaches that last as long as ours, Narcotics won't work for us. It truly sucks. What kind of tests have you had thus far? What scans, bloodwork, etc Did you have a Lumbar Puncture done? If so what was your opening pressure? Severe Headaches can be the Diagnosis or a Secondary to something else, do you have other symptoms besides the Daily headache?

I wish there was a quick fix, it would be so nice. All I can say is that I'm here. We can try to help each other.

Try to keep strong, and try to not lose hope. I have to tell myself that every day.
