I have not had any headaches but I am a naturally relaxed person. If you have stress then you will have tension and other problems. I think you need answers to help explain your health and illness. When you have your answers you will be less stressful. I had some stress when I first was told I had CLL. It took me months of research to find answers and a solution. This team environment has provided me answers and I found understanding my issue with my illness made my life easier to understand and more relaxed. When I talk to my medical people they are surprised that I know so much and can discuss my concerns with them professionally. Today with medication I have normal blood with WBC count at 6.9K. I hope your headaches can be solved with less stress by big doses of answers and less problems?
