After all my posts regarding my headaches, I think I have realised that it is the tenderness that is causing the ache rather than actually inside my head. Finding this thread has helped me no end. My scalp is SO tender to touch, but there is nothing there. I have stopped actually worrying about it, but it is intensely painful and very frustrating none the less. Has anyone found anything that helps? One has no relation to my cycle, but it could well be to do with nerves.
