There isn't a full time neurologist here that I'm aware of Dunk. They make visits about once a year. But looks like I'm getting some ideas to explore first, which is good. And to be honest, I don't like the idea of taking strong drugs for it either, which I'm sure a neurologist will load me up with. I have a bad habit of getting more side effects than good effects.

mine is actually caused by the muscle that runs from your shoulder, up your neck and clamps onto the skull itself.

That sounds like the source of my pain. The physio pressed on a point on my shoulder and the pain went right up into my head on the left hand side. I will have to look into that further.
I know diet keeps coming up and that is an ongoing thing to explore. My colon is in a state of atrophy due to the long time I've had UC (35+ years now) so I don't absorb nutrients like a normal person would and have to be monitored for deficiencies. The headaches may actually be a secondary effect of having long time UC.
Then again all that may be a red herring. I've not been the same since I had a severe flu in 2012 with my head. Before that I was jogging, albeit slowly, and cycling for an hour 3 or 4 times a week. I miss my cycling and running. I still walk and cycle at a snail's pace but for only 20 minutes. Have to keep it slow so not to flare up the head pain.
Lots to ponder...
