Getting worse...

Ended up in the ER 3 nights ago with the worst brain-crushing headache I've ever had in my life. I could barely open my eyes and's couldn't move my head because the pain was spreading down my neck. The doctor ordered a CT scan, which thankfully showed no tumors, masses, cancer, or aneurysms. All lab work came back normal. They gave me Benadryl through an IV and it literally dissolved the pain but I've felt completely dazed and unable to focus. I barely recognize my surroundings and can hardly walk. I FINALLY got my PCP to order an MRI as soon as my insurance authorizes it, then University Hospital will call to make an appointment once they get the MRI results. I hate feeling like this - total crap! Does anyone else have such horrendous headaches? My doctor prescribed Imitrex but many people told me it's a horrible medicine.

@nutshell88 A friend told me it could be Chiari Malformation because she had it. I just want my MRI so bad! At least I'll know!

@nutshell88 oh my god! I still have a headache every day. Nothing as bad as when I went to the ER but I'm scared it will come back.
