   Hi,

   I have been suffering from Chronic Tension type headaches for 16months now on a daily basis.

   I have been on amitriptalnye which had no effect I'm sorry to say.

   I've tried accupuncture and although this seemed to be easing the discomfort I couldn't afford to keep going.

   I have had a CT Scan which hasn't shown anything untoward thankfully but still the daily ache goes on.

   I don't have a particularly stressful job, I do work in an air conditioned office and the constant drone of that seems to aggrevate my head and causes the pain to intensify.

   It is a blessing to find other people in a similar situation as I was beginning to feel that it was psychosomatic.

   Does anyone else feel like they are in a fog, i am especially concerned about my memory or lack of!
