My headaches didn't subside either after having radiation and chemo for my
brain tumor.
I also have shunt to take care of after 2 days on radiation, water on the
brain and I get MRI's ever 3-6 months now.
I have about 10 more weeks on chemo
Seems like I am even more sensitive now to things.
My hands or legs or feet will hurt, I think it is a nerve doing that.
My doctor put me on Lyrica, 75mg X2 a day to help with headaches and it does
with the pressure headaches I get. I couldn't cough, sneeze or do anything
exertional while not on it. Can put you to sleep though the first time you
take it depending how your body reacts to it.
