Hi all, hope you're all doing ok or better.
I just started getting headaches after using carbo-levodopa for about a year. Is anyone else experiencing this and if so what are you using for pain relief?
Best Regards- Phil
I experience headache every time I take carb/levo i don't take meds for this because I take too many meds I try to relax and rub my chines with Vicks vapor up.In my country PR we resolve much of the health concerns with Vix.Traditionally it has a psychological effect.
I get mild headaches after taking my dose each time, especially later doses, but they are mild enough that they fade away after a short period so I just ignore them.
I have been on C/L for 21 months when I started getting really bad headaches I never had headaches before this. They sent me for a brain MRI it came back normal however my doctor suggested I go on mayo Clinics website and look up cluster headaches so I found out that is what I have. I hope you don't have this because it is more painful than a migraine headache. It is not fatal but I haven't found anything that helps.
I spoke to my neurologist and he feels the headaches are being caused by tense shoulder muscles and not C/L side effect.
Hi Colete. the headache is mild to moderate and it affects my whole head. I also get neck and shoulder aches. Interesting idea about heating the feet, I haven't tried that. It's getting to be a "wack a mole" situation.
