Hello,
It is reassuring to hear that some of the most important investigations (CT, MRI, Lumbar puncture) required for evaluation of your headache are normal. These essentially rule out any serious cause of headache. Next aim will be to relieve you of the pain and make you comfortable. If headache is really unbearable, then you can be started on injections for a short period till the headache is relieved. You can discuss the same with your doctor.
Good luck.
