I will also be 50 in September. My headaches began last November. Before this I would kayak in ocean storm waters and now if I can take a walk and a shower, it is a great day. I don't know what meds you're on, but I am on lithium. Different drugs attack different chemicals in the body that can lead to what has been termed chronic waste. There were times I would come out of the ocean and would be vibrating and freezing and not from the temperature of the water. Evidently some drugs also effect the loss of lactic acid in very much the same way. They drain it. Potassium drinks were the beverage of choice and I have just started applying this to my situation today. Too soon to know if it's a help. Also I joined the YMCA for the indoor pool and for the negative impact aspect. I am going for the first time today as it is raining here in Portland (what a surprise). My health insurance has ok'd physical rehabilitation and on my own I'm trying hypnosis. I am not a pleasant incapacitated person and will do just about anything outside of harmful to get my life back.
