hi everyone.
I am 4 months post left mx and immediate DIEP flap reconstruction, with some tummy complications and still have open wounds. I was wondering does anyone get the most horrendous, bouncing headaches that consume you to the point where you have to go and lie down/sleep to get rid of them? I seem to get these often (maybe 5 days out of 7) and I never had headaches like this before. Tablets don’t work :(

Hi Nicola
As a fellow headache sufferer, I feel your pain!
Is it possible that these are migraines? Maybe worth a visit to your gp.
I had migraines for many years and they are debilitating. The gp can give you something for this, but what worked for me in the end was a small aspirin a day.
Not had one for a year now.
The other experience I had many years ago, were stress headaches ( after a traumatic experience )…like someone was constantly pushing down on the top of my head. I was given amitriptyline for this and it worked wonders.
Hope this helps.
