headaches
01 Sep 2013 at 7:57PM
Hi everyone. I have been suffering for the past 5 days from a
weird headache. It is all over my head and moves about from the left
side to the right, but the worst bit is that when I stand up or move
quickly I get a really sharp pain which subsides within seconds. I also
find that if I sit down after moving about I can feel and sort of see my
pulse in my eyes (not sure if that makes sense!) It is really worrying
me now. I think I may be having a bit of a relapse at the moment as my
legs are a bit achey etc but just wondered if anybody else has had the
weird headache thing or if I should go to dr. and see if it's something
else. Sarah x

Hi Sarah
The symptoms you have mentioned are very similar to those I have been experiencing. The "seeing the pulse in your eyes" makes sense to me as I also found this very weird . It lasted for only a few days.
I was diagnosed rrms in June after a particularly active relapse. It is slowly remitting however the symptoms you have mentioned remain but appear to be easing. Legs are still painful especially my hips. Eyesight is just about back to normal and headaches seem to be less frequent.
Everyone seems to have different symptoms but if your not sure about them it's worth seeing your GP or seeking advice from your MS nurse to be on the safe side, after all that's is that what they are there for. I hope you feel better very soon.

Thank You Mick. My MS started as optic neuritis and I often
get blurred vision and headaches but not usually this bad. I am worried
about the pain when standing as I have looked on internet and it says
about brain tumours. I am now worrying about that! Apparently the pain
can be due to pressure in the skull. I'm such a worrier. sarah

Don't read too much into things you read on the Internet,
there's too much information on there for us to know what is true or not
and makes it all too easy to self diagnose, probably wrongly at that.
Stick to the professionals, they do this for a living.
Please do get yourself checked out as soon as soon as you can so you will put your mind at rest instead of constantly worrying.
