- My name is Beth Purcell and I've been running since the
- age of ten. I currently run for the University of Virginia.
- My problem is that I have been getting pounding headaches when
- I run. This has been going on since the summer. I've gone
- from running 5 minute miles to barely being able to run a 7
- minute mile. I've been to countless doctors and they have
- found no evidence of a serious problem. I've had a MRI
- performed and that showed no major abnormalties. Even though
- nothing has been found, the doctors recommend that I stop
- running. I'm really upset about this and refuse to give up
- running without some further inquiries. If anyone that reads
- this has heard of a similiar condition or has any suggestions
- for me, please respond. I'm going crazy not being able to
- run.
