Here is your chance for armchair medical advice.
Over the past ten weeks I have one long headache. It is not real bad - perhaps a three or four on a 1 to 10 scale. It comes and goes but almost always it feels like my head has a head cold or is stuffed up. When I do get pains - the move around the head and also come and go. Sometimes pin p[ricks in the lower back... sometimes the front and forehead .... sometimes toe top area.
I have seen the doctor five times including two visits to a neurologist. When this first happen last October I had had a MRI , some flashing lights test, and a this time a carotoid artery test among lots of physical exams. In 2018 - it lasted for three weeks then went away only to return this October and has lasted for ten weeks this time.
For two weeks they treated it as a sinus infection with antibiotics but it persists.
I did go to Canada for a long weekend for three days in early December and magically my head improved but the pains returned in a day or two when I cam back. This causes my wife to think there is something in the house or the heating season causing all this.
It is better when I take long walks in the cold but does not really go away altogether.
Any advice you want to offer is appreciated.
