›› You Might Feel Some Slight Discomfort or be Completely Incapacitated
In 1994 I had started looking for medical help for my headaches of a very
strange origin. The symptoms I was describing to doctors didn’t really fall
into the category of “Classical Headaches” or Migraine Headaches. My feeling
was that pain was originated somewhere in lower neck – top of my back area
and then was distributed to the back of the head. It was spreading across
the head; stabbing straight through to the forehead and eye, creating some
kind of vertigo, sometimes incapacitating me completely. Most of the time,
however, pain was dull, annoying and frustrating
The concept that headache pain or vertigo can emanate from cervical
dysfunction was completely foreign to most of the physicians those days.
International Headache Society and the American Association for the Study of
Headaches have defined that
CERVICOGENIC HEADACHE SIMPLY DOESN'T EXIST.
Cervicogenic headaches have been ignored, overlooked or discredited because
many doctors cannot make the diagnosis. This situation created an enormous
problem for sufferers in addressing the diagnosis and treatment of
headaches. Typical outcome of my doctor’s appointment back then was
PRESCRIPTION FOR STRONG PAINKILLERS
AND SUGGESTION OF NECK EXERCISES
WHICH IN FACT MADE MY CONDITION WORSE.
Couple of years later cervicogenic headache was recognized in the IASP
(International Association for the Study of Pain). I was pleased that
finally my diagnosis has a name, however as you can understand it didn’t
give any relief. Painkiller drugs and relaxation didn’t work quiet well. So,
I had started my “journey” hoping to find something, which will give me if
not complete, but at least partial relief. Basically I was looking for
SOMEONE WHO KNOWS
SOMETHING ABOUT MY CONDITION.
Admittedly, all available treatment options were not so simple. Here is a
list of major points of my “journey”. I am deliberately skipping some
insignificant events. It would’ve been too long to describe all of them; and
quiet frankly now (January 2004) I don’t remember all those frustrating
episodes.
MAJOR SURGERY
I had declined this option (in theory it was supposed to relieve pressure
between cervical vertebras). And I am very glad I did so. But at some point
I was about to say yes.
CHIROPRACTORS
As soon as this type of headache has been recognized officially,
chiropractors have started claiming a 100% cure after 5-6 sessions. I’ve had
have an experience with seven of them. It was waste of time and waste of
money.
ANTIDEPRESSANTS OF SSRI GROUP
In theory antidepressants were suppose to “tune” my brain not to react so
negatively to my headache. During two and a half year period I had have
tried Zoloft and Paxil. The only change was drastic decrease in my libido
and drastic increase in my weight (25 pounds).
TRICYCLIC ANTIDEPRESSANTS
Effect was similar as from antidepressants of new generation plus another 15
pounds and my mouth was dry as it could only be.
CERVICAL EPIDURAL STEROID INJECTION
There was no relief of pain despite that studies have confirmed significant
progress in 50% of all cases. I was also (and I am still) concern about the
safety of this procedure.
ACUPUNCTURE
No help.
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Seemingly it was the only thing which gave me almost complete relief for
about…. three hours. The next morning headache was there again.I think
everything I have just described is a typical journey where every
cervicogenic headache sufferer has been directed to by a legion of health
professionals. And the more distance we are covering the more frustrated we
became. To put it simple:
THERE IS NO REAL COMPREHENSIVE PROFESSIONAL HELP SO FAR FOR
CERVICOGENIC HEADACHE
Fact that in the morning I am able to play a competitive tennis, and in the
evening of same day I am not able to drive a car (so annoying my headache
was) pushed me so much down. The most frequent question I was addressing to
medical professionals back then was as following:
How come,
How come in an age of successful treatment of many kinds of cancer,
In an age of successful surgical separation of conjoined twins
Whatever is causing my headaches:
bulging disc, pinched nerve, tiredness of the neck muscles,
Whatever it is, why can’t we fix it?
The most frequent answer was :
You have to learn how to live with it.
There was very little intention to take a look at special exercises I have
developed, which seemingly improve my headaches. An unofficial advice was –
well, if it is helping do it. But I can’t make any assessment nor can
recommend them officially; some of these exercises are definitely going
beyond moderation.
An attitude of numerous neurology specialists I have been seeing back then
was submissive. There was not much intention to learn about this relatively
rare medical condition. So finally it was only me against my cervicogenic
headaches. No medications, no therapeutic procedures, and not a guideline
where I should go with my problem. So, I have had just one option –
exercising at my own risk, developing set of stretches, exercises which are
seemingly making my headaches not so intense.
E-book I am offering you now is a result my experiments with various
remedies (real ones and illusive once as well) during 9 months. It is a
combination of special exercises, stretches, and relaxation technique. It is
a product of my scientific laboratory where I was playing two rolls: A
researcher and a guinea pig. All my experience, all my despair and all my
frustration are included in my Cervicogenic Headache Cure E-book.
