I sometimes have something like this when my neck is out of whack, and

need to see the chiropractor. Try lying down with a neckroll pillow or

rolled up hand towel under your neck - not enough to lift your whole

head, but just enough to lift your neck so that your head can " relax

back " . Put an eye pillow over your eyes and just rest and breathe. Does

that help?

Watch your posture when you are on the PC or watching TV - is your head

thrust forward? Do you have to crane your neck to look up at the screen?

Or it could be muscle tension in the scalp. Give yourself a firm scalp

massage, hit the main acupressure points down the midline (hairline to

nape of neck, two finger-widths apart) and dig your thumbs all along

under the " ledge " at the back of the skull where the skull ends and the

neck begins.

Sometimes, all it takes is drinking a glass of good water, doing a

couple of neck stretches, and then watching one's posture to make this

kind of head pain go away.

Hope this helps!

Hi , Sorry you're in so much pain.

In the last 3 months my head pain is 90% less. I have suffered from

headaches a great deal since having CFS. When the pain is in the back

& top of my head, it's usually because of a reaction to having too

many sugars and starches which many people are sensitive to. Try

eliminating sugars (even fruits and juices), breads, potatoes, any

cereals/grains, and snack foods for 4 days, drink 8-10 cups of hot

water a day. Basically, eat steamed or boiled vegetables and chicken,

ground turkey, fish or lamb. Avoid processed foods and dairy. See if

it helps.

Along with following this diet, I started taking 1 or 2 tablespoons a

day of Flaxseed Oil as well as one capsule of B2. Also, I began

meditating everyday for 30 minutes or so, doing deep breathing

as I meditated. I don't know for sure what has helped the most ( I

also had daily vascular headaches in my temples), but all my head

pain, which has gone on for years every day has rarely occurred since

I began this combination of remedies. I hope these suggestions can

help you.

P.S. Yes, even tv or using the pc could worsen the pain for me in the

past before I started the above treatments.

I have something which could be similar to that on the left side of my

head.Extreme pressure on the left side.I could not find out what it is

directly related to.Stress could be one of the reasons.Blood thinners are of

some help. If my blood is thinner I notice it less. I am sure problem is

still there but the amplitude is lower. I use gingko as blood thinner.

Thanks

,

Thanks for your advices.

I wonder what that point is for? Could you please tell me which part of the

brain this point effects?Dr. Poesnecker mentions of this point at his book

and he says that rubbing this point is helpful for PWC's.

Thanks
