Members explored whether daily headaches could be a symptom of rheumatoid arthritis, with responses emphasizing the importance of consulting a doctor to rule out other causes like medication side effects, sinus issues, vision problems, migraines, or stress. Several members shared experiencing persistent back-of-head and neck pain that worsens when lying down, with one member diagnosed with occipital neuralgia and finding relief through CBD oil after nerve block injections proved ineffective. A recurring theme was that while headaches are not a universal RA symptom, many members noticed an increase in frequency after diagnosis, though experiences varied widely from no headaches in twenty years to daily occurrences linked to medication or separate chronic migraine conditions.
