Headaches and DID??

[Dannerus_Maximus]

Do any of you with DID suffer from severe headaches that painkillers don't help with? I have a friend who I am about 95% certain has DID and doesn't admit it... but she suffers with really bad headaches sometimes and I was wondering if they just happened or if they are associated with a personality shift? As a matter of fact, she's the one the clued me in that headaches were a part of having DID, almost like she wants me to help her figure this out.

I have a dissociative disorder, and often get headaches. Sometimes its when I'm flickering between emotional states, but equally it can be tension. For me, anyway. Plus I was a traumatic forceps birth, which I get body memories from from time to time. Painkillers seem even to make those worse. Its like my body needs to experience the feeling to gain catharsis and release.

I have DID, and I find that when the initial disassociation starts I get these intense headaches...

It could also be other things though. As i have tension headaches because of depression.
