Headache followed by severe vomiting next day

[mokonalove]

Hello.
I have suffered like this for years with no answers. About 3-4 times a year, I begin with a severe headache which is followed the next day with vomiting, during which I cannot keep down anything including liquids.  I have had the CT scans, they show nothing. I've been to the GI doctor and he was at a loss. I've been to the neurologist with tremors or tics, he simply diagnosed me as having nerves and I needed a psychiatrist. Been there, done that, still no relief. I don't know what else to do or who else to go to. My GI doctor suggested that the small intestine is like a jacket sleeve and the inside lining of it can pop out into the stomach and that is what could be happening, but he also said I would grow out of it, which I never have and I am now 40.
Please, any help is appreciated.

That's outrageous of the ER staff!!  Why don't you ask them what the doctor is supposed to be saying to you that he hasn't?  Say that you would like to know too.  Bring in your doctor's notes from your medical visit next time.  

You go in 3-4 times a year.  I used to go into the ER every month, sometimes more with a severe migraine that had me vomiting.  No one ever questioned why I was there.    Ask them why do they think that you are conning them when they can see that you are vomiting and are dehydrated.  ER staff probably do get people who are just drug seeking, but not 3-4 times a year.

I would still try to find someone who will drive you to another doctor's office.  Even ask a church or ask the social services dept of your county about transportation.  You deserve it.

Thanks. The headache feels like a sinus pressure type one, I go into a few hours of having the headache with bad nausea after which I start to vomit everything. The vomiting only stops after I go to the ER for an IV and some medicine. With the vomiting, I still have the head pressure, but it's not as bad. I was wondering if this could be Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome since it happens so much in the year. Once I start the vomiting, I get so weak that I can only go to bed. The Lakewood Hospital ER is starting to make snide comments about how I've been there for the same problem so many times before and why I am back and why hasn't my doctor told me what to do about the problem. Basically, they are telling me to leave them alone if it is the same problem.
Once I get the vomiting stopped, I'm fine. I can eat or drink anything with no problem. I just don't understand what is going on and the medical "professionals" I have encountered for the situation have been anything but professional. The nurses in the ER are now saying I'm conning them, even though they can see from the urine that I'm dry and in need of fluids.
I'm lost about the whole thing. I never learned to drive so I'm limited as to which doctors I can see.

Are you saying that you have no severe headache the next day when you have the vomiting?  That would be very unusual.  Usually the vomiting happens during the headache.  All I can think of is to see another neurologist and/or GI doctor for second opinions.  Make sure you discuss your severe headaches followed by the vomiting with the neurologist which is a very different problem from tremors and tics.  Good luck to you.
