What Causes Constant Severe Headaches Along With Intermittent Shingles On Face?
My mother is 81 yrs. old.Has had shingles on face and in eye off and on for 3 yrs. Cannot stop constant severe headaches. Pain overwhelming, Takes gabapentin 3 times day. Cannot tolerate Lyrica or tegretol. Will only give her 3 or 4 demerol every few months. Any suggestions? She's suffering! Could these headaches be migraines?
