Living with NDPH

On my website I discuss New Daily Persistent Headache (NDPH) . I have also previously posted some NDPH chronic headache articles.

Recently I found a website called Living with NDPH. The site is written by Amy, a mother of 3, who has suffered with a chronic persistent headache for 4 years, and has been blogging about it since last August. If you suffer from NDPH her website is a good resource. Another great resource is MDJunction as I have posted about before.

I recently read an interesting story of Amy’s Living with NDPH website about a Young Boy Cured of NDPH after suffering from 5 months.

Essentially in the story which I encourage you to read on Amy’s website the young 11 year old boy had a headache start near the start of 2010. He had several tests done and went to several neurologists all while trying several medications. Roughly 5 months after the headache started and conventional treatments were not helping, he saw a Craniosacral Therapist. She claimed to reduce the twisting and tension at the base of the young boy’s head. This caused the young boy to begin to return to his old normal headache free self.

Now this is quite a story and may provide hope and inspiration to those suffering. I feel like Amy is not one just out to promote Craniosacral Therapists and neither is ‘Dara’ who shared the story, but one should still be careful and always thoroughly check facts. I myself have had craniosacral therapy done and have described craniosacral therapy on my website. I did notice an improvement after receiving a few sessions of craniosacral therapy although it was minimal and I have since stopped receiving the therapy. It may be something to try for those suffering from a chronic persistent headache but it should not be believed to be a cure and may also cost a lot of money.

NDPH – Chronic Headache Articles

I found some useful articles on NDPH and chronic headache that may be of interest to you if you suffer from new daily persistent headache or have frequent headaches.

There are also some key take-home points even if you do not currently suffer from any headache condition.

The first point is that surgery has been shown to trigger 24/7 headache in children in at least a handful of cases. This has occurred in extra-cranial surgery, meaning surgery that is not of the brain.

The pathophysiology of this is currently unknown… Thus this should certainly be weighed when considering whether or not to undergo wisdom teeth removal as it is surgery.

The other important take-home point is that this 24/7 headache often does not respond to any treatment. Thus the goal of treatment in the short term is often to reduce the intensity of the headache.

I have uploaded the headache articles to my website. You can view the first at

Todd Rozen – Geisinger

Dr. Todd Rozen, who was formerly at the Michigan Head Pain and Neurological Institute has moved to Geisinger Health System in Danville, PA.

I saw Dr. Rozen several times while he was located in the midwest, since it was in driving distance. However now that he is in Pennsylvania, driving is out of the question and I don’t think I will be seeing him anymore. This is unfortunate since he is without a doubt the best doctor I have seen thus far.

I am not quite sure why he made the move as many at MHNI are quite upset. However, others in PA must be happy for the opportunity to possibly get treated for NDPH and their chronic headache conditions. I just thought I would make an update in case you missed it.
