headaches
does anyone else get headaches that start in the back of their head and move down their neck and then consume their entire brain? it's not really intense pain, like a migraine, but a dull, steady 6-on-a-scale-of-to-10 kind of pain. and i have a very good threshold for pain (hi, i have kidney problems). i get them several times per week (occasionally every day -- count this week: 2), on both weekdays and weekends. most often workdays, though.
some things i've pretty much ruled out:
1. my contacts are relatively new and my perscription is less than a year old.
2. when i wear my hair in a ponytail, it's not too tight
3. my computer screen at work is a flat screen and it's set to a mild brightness, yet not too dull so that i have to squint
4. my stress level is manageable, not overwhelming
5. my bed pillow is comfortable -- not too hard or too flat
med students and moms of the world unite to cure me of the wretched pain! please.
