first let me apologize is this is in the wrong area.  i looked for a
general "diseases" group but didn't find one.  if there is a better
place please point me there and i'll be happy to go.

First off, I have had lots of blood work done, even for HIV and
diabetes, all OK.  I still haven't done my blood tests for led,
mercury, and a few others, but by doctor doesn't seem to think those
results will mean much (nor do i).  i am very scared because my whole
life i never had headaches, and now i've had one for the last three
months EVERY SINGLE DAY.  granted, they come and go throughout the
day, but i can tell they're there, nonetheless.  the only thing off
the top of my mind i haven't done is an MRI.  my doctor seems to think
that's not necessary, since if i did have some brain tumor forming I'd
be going through a lot more trouble now.  my headaches don't prevent
me from every day activity.  life goes on as normal, but this doesn't
mean these headaches don't bother me.  i am a software engineer, and i
sit in front of a computer not only at work, but at home as well.  i
may sit in front of the computer up to 12 hours a day.  for those of
you who think this may be my cause, please read on...  3 months ago,
when this all started, my headache wasn't my only symptom.  if my
headache was my only symptom, i probalby wouldn't be worried so much.
but 3 months ago, i woke up sick out of the blue.  stomach ache,
headache, couldn't eat all day and had a fever that night.  the next
day i was much better, but the headache and stomach ache lingered.
over the next few weeks i started getting more symptoms, like itchy
skin, fatigue, weakness in my legs, tingling in my feet, redness in my
lower legs when i stood or walked.  today, more than 3 months later,
my headache is consistent as clockwork, my appetite is back to normal,
stomach aches seem to be gone, feet tinglign and numbness in lower
legs seem to be ALMOST gone, and all other symptoms seemed to have
disappeared as well.  it appears everything has slowly gotten better,
EXCEPT my headache.  and the only thing else i can' complain about is
that i still seem a bit more tired than usual all day.  i'm yawning
all day long and it's hard for me to get through the weekends without
napping.  my headaches feel like tensions headaches, and they are at
various parts of my head at any given moment.  sometimes, the back.top
of my head even hurts to the touch.  is THIS a usual characteristic of
a headache?

i hope there's someone on the net that can help me find out what's
going on, and i hope it's nothing to worry about.  i'm going to get a
second opinion from another doctor.

thanks fo rany help anyone can provide.
