mostly I'm keeping this thread alive hoping that perhaps someone experiencing the same thing might learn something about their own headaches. Also it kinda serves as a headache journal for myself.

The neck pain I had is virtually gone from the P.T. But the headaches themselves are just as constant and severe as before. I still maintain good posture and I do the exercises they gave me, but the headaches are still oppressive. Since I decided that there is probably no genuine cure and I might as well deal with it and be positive, I've felt better in general. I just conclude that pain is part of life; just wish I could do all the things I could do when I was pain-free.

The dr. put me on a beta blocker, Atenolol about 2 months ago, but it hasn't effected the headaches and they just make me sluggish to the point that it's difficult to exercise. I really want to quit taking it so I guess I should ask the dr. Has anyone had any ill effects from abrupt discontinuation of a beta blocker? (I don't have high blood pressure)
