I get headaches all the time sometimes I wake up with one just one more thing thank you lupus
Thank you @A MyLupusTeam Member
The last hospital visit I was diagnosed with swelling of the brain from my neurologist. My brain is just a bit to fat in my skull due to (Predisone/weight gain) I've been working on that since May, but it's hard to get the glp they recommended me to start and my insurance is just a fly in the wall with empty pockets saying ("nope can't approve that") though I haven't tug a war with my rheumatologist yet about it all my research and lupus teams questions with ai support all point to this love phrase (Lupus Cerebritis) from my light sensitivity to my ears, nose and jaw..the tension from my migraine is just uncomfortable. The relief is only for just a short while before the waves roll back in one again. But I'm trying to work on it. 💜
Are they calling it benign intracranial hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri? If so, it's worth asking about acetazolamide (Diamox), which treats that, as does weight loss. If not and you're concerned about possible cerebritis, please discuss it with the neurologist and consider a second opinion at the closest university medical center, Camille. Good luck, and keep us posted!🌹
Yes, it's possible but not necessarily the problem, as it's very uncommon. Please see my answer to your other question, Camille.
Yes, brain inflammation related to lupus can contribute to headaches and migraines. When lupus causes inflammation in the brain — sometimes called lupus cerebritis — it can trigger a range of neurological symptoms, including headaches. Migraines are actually quite common with lupus, affecting around 20 percent of people Show Full Answer
