Headaches
I been waking up out of my sleep every night for a week with a headache. I will take a ibuprofen 800mg and I will go back to sleep and wake up everything is fine. Thursday morning I woke up (4:15am) again out of my sleep and I took a pill. I try to go back to sleep and no luck. At 6:30am I took another. It didn't stop. I called my nurse (12noon) to tell her and she took me to take a percocet. I laid down and went to sleep and woke up in pain. I had an appointment at 2pm and the doctor order me a brain scan. I had my treatment and I been up since 2am no headache. I am a little worried.
If you have or had brain mets what did you experience?
Thanks.
