Ive noticed more and more, particularly in the last month, that I seem to be having a LOT of headaches. I would say more often than not, I get them. I've had one every day for the past week. It's on both sides of my head. It's a dull, persistent pain instead of throbbing and it's located at my temples and behind my eyes. Sometimes it's at the base of my skull also, and my neck and shoulders get stiff. Pain medication doesn't seem to make a dent and there are times when I go to bed with one and wake up still hurting.

I don't know what to think about it. I've always been pretty susceptible to headaches, but never like this. I had an eye exam 2 weeks ago and the optometrist told me my optic nerves are red and looked possibly irritated, but she didn't know if it was normal or not for me.

I just am not sure what to do at this point. I'm so tired of being in pain. Sometimes I wake up with them and they last all day.
