Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a really bad headache and its been going on for some time now and getting worse. I had meningitis and encephalitis in september of last year, the neuroligist thought something else might be wrong and gave me a slip for an MRI and I have not gone to get it done yet because i have no health insurance. what should I do? i have been taking 3 excedrine migrane pills every so often and my head is not getting better.

HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic .
There are many causes of headache . Tension headache , Eye strain , Sinus Congestion , Migraine , Some problem in brain also can cause headache . I need to know why have you been started on Excedrine migrane pills ? Did your neurologist told that you might be having Migraine ? In that case I advise you to start Tab Sibelium after consultation with your neurologist .
Also get your eyes tested . If no response from Sibelium then better you get MRI Brain done .
Hope this answers your query . Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask. Happy to help you. Regards.
