Kristy is a 26-year-old who presents to your office with complaints of daily headache. She has 5 children under the age of 11, the oldest has cerebral palsy with significant physical and mental disability, and children 3 and 4 have ADD and oppositional defiant disorder. She describes the headaches as being “all over” without visual disturbance. She does have nausea sometimes, but has never had emesis. Light and sound seem to make them worse on a lot of days. “They’re just getting worse and worse. They occur all the time now”. She has tried OTC ibuprofen, naprosyn and acetaminophen without relief, taking at least one dose daily and often twice daily. You have met her significant other one time when you helped her take the kids to the car after an appointment. He was “sleeping” in the passengers seat reeking of alcohol. He would arouse, so you new he wasn’t dead, but was definitely not of any help. What type of headache does Kristy have?
