It started with myself 3 weeks ago, I had the worst headache of my life for 5 days. I was completely incompasitated. The first day I kept taking motrin, I don't typically get headaches but when I did I could take two and be fine. Later that night I found some leftover Darvocet from a previous surgery and it didn't touch the pain. I contacted my PCP, who gave me Relpax - which also didn't work. He ordered a CT, which was clear and sent me home with percocet. That helped me sleep but did not take away my pain. I typically have low blood pressure (90/60) and when the head pain comes it goes way up (167/115). It will come back down IF we can get the pain to get better. Better... not go away (it has not yet).
After the 5 days I kept a regular headache, which I could function with. I worked and did every other daily task, but it never went away. A week after mine started, my 16 yr old stepdaughter started, 5 days after that my 16 yr old daughter.
I've tested the house and I'm now just waiting on the Radon test. So far the house is clear (we've lived here 10 years). My stepdaughter and myself ended up having all sorts of tests, like a spinal tap, CTs, MRIs, blood work - all normal. I haven't even bothered to take my daughter in because it seems futile.
What would cause us all to suddently have bad headaches? I finally sought out a "headache clinic" and I am now taking lyrica and for headache break throughs, Fenoprofen, which works half the time. My stepdaughter is on a beta-blocker and imatrex. (She went to Children's Hospital).
To me, if it's not the house it has to be viral. What would cause this in a household?
