Question: Hello, about 6 weeks ago I had a headache that lasted 3 weeks. The pain was constant pounding also with sharp pains in random spots on my head but mostly in and behind my eyes, ears, and top of my head. At 3 different times the headache was so bad I thought I was dying. It was a 15 on a scale of 1-10. I also had a sore throat, sore esophagus when I swallowed (not acid reflux), my face swelled on one side, went down and then the other side swelled, blurry vision, nausea, dizziness, weakness, exhaustion. I went to the ER twice and my GP. The 1st er dr diagnosed sinuitis and gastric reflux even though I know neither were the case. I asked for X-rays and they revealed I did not have fluid in my sinuses, sent home with antibiotics and antacid. 2nd time they prescribed tension headache meds. They did nothing. The only thing that worked was rotating acetamenophen 1000mg and ibuprofen 800mg about every 4 hrs which took it from a 10 to about a 4. I then went to my GP and she prescribed imitrex and celexa. The imitrex did not work at all and the celexa made me feel more depressed and extremely tired. I stopped the imitrex but continued the celexa. My mom came to take care of my kids and I spent three days in bed and the headache went almost away. It stayed at like a 1 or 2 still with random sharp pains. I still felt weak, had blurry vision, nausea, and would get dizzy if I moved to fast, bent over, turned my head. About a week later i quit the celexa and immediately felt emotionally better with more energy and then about a week after that I worked out, not sure if related but the next day the headache came back starting with a pounding debilitating 15, I stayed on the acetamenophen and ibuprofen and the constant pounding went away after a week but I am now left with the sharp random spots that last just a few seconds in each spot every 2-15 seconds between them constantly. And this is the point I am left at. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi thank you so much. Im sorry i forgot to mention the fevers. When this all first started with the first major episode i had a fever of 102 and it was also at 99/100 for the first 3 days. The second episode the fever was 101. I was also having nightsweats in the beginning to the point of being completely drenched. Im sorry i dont know how i forgot that. Also ive been taking klonipin 5mg at night to sleep and stress for about 5 months. The celexa she prescribed because I'm going through a really stressful time. I also had a CT scan at the second ER visit which came back normal.
