Headaches

[BigFish]

When I was married to my "X" I used to get the worst migraines you can imagine...they would lay me out for a couple days at a time! Nausea, vomiting sometimes...I needed to stay in a dark room and gulp Tylenol 2 every 2 hours for about 8 hours until it started to go away! What I wanted was a loaded gun in my mouth!

Never found out what caused them.....funny thing is they stopped right after I divorced! Whaddaya Know bout that?

I still get small ones on occasion and I chaulk them up to bright sunlight or glare (like snow blindness) or when I don't eat right. Hypoglycemia.

Nothing like I used to get though!

I get the "cluster " headaches(man,do they suck). The fastest way I can get rid of one when I start to feel it coming or starting,.."Imitrex"stat"(needle) works the best.Just stick in my arm + push down the plunger,head for a dark,quiet room,...and try to sleep through it. The worst thing to do is drink alcohol,anything with caffiene.

Hey John,
Sorry to hear about your situation. Stress is the cause of more physical problems than just about any single factor. As far as the headaches go, I don't get them but some say I'm a carrier. Take care...

does heat help? buy one of those rice filled sacks @ wally world
(called a bed buddy)
and you heat it in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes - 2 minutes

and lay that on your forehead -helps that headache behind the eyes deal...

that girl that died recently out in calif. due to drinking to much water for that radio contest...
she had a headache... from it...

but you can under drink water too and cause your brain to ache.

i get the ice-pick in the eye >>zap<< lately myself... it actually feels like you've been hit
by a projectile and you react accordingly. real nasty when driving...
i find i need to avoid excessive flourescent lighting in super markets

watch out for additives in food...especially preservatives which you
can develope a hyper sensativity to them from the accumulative factor
....especially aspartame or what goes into soft drinks.

Hope you feel better soon JR, only thing that sucks about a negative MRI is they didn't find the problem, went thru that with my back. Hope they fix ya soon.
