Subject: Hi everyone do any on here get really bad headaches?

Hi everyone,
Just wondering if any of you on here get really bad headache's associated with your arthritis?

I suffer from really bad headache's that will last all throught the night and into the next day and it does not matter what painkiller you take it does not ease.

It start's in the neck and then goes up into my head they are making my life a misery as if it wasn't bad enought.

Have one now so just wondering thank's Deborah.

Hi Deborah, Sorry to hear you are suffering from headaches I never had a headache until i started the biologics and like yourself i feel it starts in my neck, i actually hear my neck crunching when i move it from side to side and it also affects my jaw. I sympathize with you as it is horrible, i had sharp pains shooting through my head a couple of weeks ago. I have found that massage can help it, my daughter is very good at doing it and it does help. I also changed my pillow. Have you spoken to the doctor about it, is it possible it could be migraines? although this arthritis has a lot to answer to.

I hope you get some relief soon, take care xx

Hi Deborah, I am on enbrel and get headaches most days, they wake me at night. Think it is a side effect as never had them before.

Hi Rhona & bsk,
Thank you for getting back to me , am going to see my doctor this week so hopefully he will be able to tell me something.

Yes Rhona I agree that they are horrible,

I also mean't to say that these headache's Affect's me when the weather is changing so I think they definitely have something to do with PA never thought of the possibility they it might be drug related as you have suggested bsk,

Have been getting them for year's and just want to know what they might be as am getting fed up with them.

Hope you both are well Deborah.

Hi bsk,
No not on any of the bio-logic's yet start one in sept.
Have been on mtx for last 8yrs I think it's that long been on 25mg for last 3 yrs along with arcoxia and imipramine tabs for the headache's actually been on them for a long time now that I think of it.

It could poss be a side effect of the mtx.

It's funny how when you have had one and then it goes away you forget about it until the next time but really must go and see about them because their not going away or getting better.

Hope you are well yourself Deborah.
