Brain Mets Headaches

.....sorry I should also add that my Vitamin D level is low at 31. Ally.

Hello Ally,

I’m afraid I haven’t got any advice for you but I just wanted to say hi because you must be feeling really terrified. Hold on to the idea that it’s most likely to be something less awful causing your morning headaches. How long will you have to wait before you know for sure?

sending love and have everything crossed for you .

Thinking of you today x x x 

Thank you everybody. Keep your fingered squeezed x

Hi ,

I just wanted to let you know that I can wake with a headache in the mornings too, and I also experience headaches where it feels like my head is being squeezed. Mine is due to increased intracranial pressure but was picked up by the opticians as my optic nerve looked funny.

i have a condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension which mimics the symptoms of a brain tumour but when one isn’t there (it’s also sometimes known as pseudotumor cerebri). I had a clear MRI, but lumbar punctures showed high cerebral spinal fluid pressure. I’m on medication to control it.

Good luck with your appointment today x

Wow, I have never heard of this condition before. Thank you for highlighting it to me and I hope you manage to cope with it alright x

That’s ok, I hadn’t heard of it before this summer. I don’t get as many symptoms as some and the meds work well. Good luck x
