I get migranes so does my sister (she has lupus) and my mom gets headaches too.. I have only had 2 or 3 migranes I think since getting RSD.. but I now get band/pressure headaches ongoing, and once in a while now I get a lanciating jab in the same spot that I used to get my residue pain for a few days after the migranes if I bent over or coughed (above ear on left hand side)

Thank you for posting and bringing that to our attention Ness I hope your day is going well bud.

Hugz,

pst.. thanks for the avatars too, yr good.

i had migraines for years but they stopped a few years before i got RSD and i hope they stay away. my heart goes out to anyone who gets them. they are horrible. Joan

I'd like that study if they had done even numbers of people. It looks like a high % of RSD'ers have the headache thing when it's not so. If you'll notice they had only 23 people with RSD and 69 "normal" people. Now if you upped the numbers of people with RSD to 69, then the %'s would be as low as the "normal" group.

In that light I think they need to go back and do that again to show the true numbers of RSD'ers and headache versus non RSD.

I have some doubts about the relevance of this. There is a sexual difference in headache rates which could easily confound the results.

I rarely got headaches before the RSD but they were usually very mild migraines. I went through a period of getting numerous headaches of various types after about 5 years of RSD. They are less of a problem now but still frequent.
