Pain, Pain...Go Away!

The pain is getting worse, not any better! When I saw the Neurologist, he said he's doing his best and to increase the medication. I have and nothing is working! I am so tired all the time and now I have been taking my blood pressure.  I just started to not feel right, besides having the headache I just felt really bad. I took my blood pressure and it was so low. Right now I am around 87/56.  Now I am keeping a log on my blood pressure.  I was out with my husband one night and I had a headache when we left but I didn't expect it to get as bad as it did.  My headache became a complete 10!  Just before it becomes a complete 10, people were looking at me because my eye is becoming completely closed, my mouth is drooping down and It felt like my face was swelling on the same side.  The questions are "what's wrong with your face"? "Why is your eye closed"? Now that I am being asked these questions, I try to answer and my speech is slurred so now they are looking at me even more even tho these are people we know...My husband sees what is happening to me and takes me home right away which was not far.  When I get home, this is when the headache becomes a complete 10! Now I am sick, laying in the dark, I am having trouble speaking, the pain medication is not working! I'm so tired of these headaches controling my life, restricking me to even go anywhere, I don't work, I don't have a social life, I don't do anything! I don't go far except to local stores in fear of a full blown headache and I always try to take someone with me.  Why can't anyone find me some relief? I feel like I have no control over my life, the headaches controls me! The doctors keep giving me med's and telling me I may be like this for the rest of my life! How can I do this for the REST OF MY LIFE? I watch what I eat, I watch what I drink, I don't drink any alchol, I wear sunglasses all the time...WHY? Maybe "The Doctors" could help me!

Have you told your doctor about your blood pressure?

I'm sorry to hear you are in so much pain.  The facial paralysis you wrote of is really concerning.  Have you experienced it before? If not, why didn't you go to the ER?  Facial paralysis can be a sign of a stroke, or another disease called Bell's Palsy. Actually as I was reading your post Bell's Palsy kept popping up in my mind.  Perhaps you should seek another opinion and ask that MD about Bell's Palsy(if you already haven't) because it could possibly explain what is going on.
