Thanks for your query.
I agree with your doctor about “no intervention” till it is really necessary or it calls for. The surgery is a major one, with unpredictable outcome, but this doesn't mean that the symptom like headache you have need not be addressed well.
I consider it safe for you to go for opiod analgesics like Tramadol to get some relief from the headache. Progressive headache does for sure indicate worsening of the meningioma, I would also suggest you to consult your neurologist on a regular basis for him to evaluate you on the basis of the symptoms and advice some specific and effective medications for headache.
Yes, I really hate to say this but it would be better for you to apply for the Social Security Disability Insurance owing to the usual behavior of such illnesses.
Hope I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
