I only had a headache the day of my stroke and it wore off the day following, it was in my upper neck/lower back of my head. I guess it goes along with the stroke.. I very seldom have headaches, when I do, I find myself getting a little paranoid that another stroke is coming on.

Some days are better than others. I work in the IT field and it makes it hard to work. I’m only working 4, six hour days a week right now. I’m taking 200 mg of Topamax at night and 200 mg of gabapentin 3x a day, it helps somewhat, but makes me very fuzzy and I don’t like the forgetfulness and slowness it causes. If I work too much, drive too much, or just get overly stimulated with noise, light or stress the headaches will crank up to a 5 or 6, or higher real quick, they are alway there at 1 or 2 all the time. I’m learning to live with with it now, it’s just something I guess I will have to live with.

Thanks, I’m so glad I found this. Unless you’ve been though this people don’t understand.
