well don't!!! Que cera cera, what will be will be. Be happy.

SackAche · 23/11/2005 21:32

I haven't read anything about this I'm afraid. I had no idea! Are you Starshaker BTW?

I'm sure it's nothing.... have you had your eyes tested? Do they think it could be Glandular Fever?

When will you go for more tests?

starandsnowshaker · 23/11/2005 21:33

the doc said if i dont get an appointment in 2 weeks let him know and he will make sure im seen

Star sorry to hear you are suffering and now worrying. I know it's hard but just try not to until you go for the further tests.

Has your GP given you painkillers? What about an eye test - do you wear glasses or lenses at the mo?

Make sure you drink loads of water too - dehydration causes headaches. Hope you feel better soon.

SackAche · 23/11/2005 21:37

Please try not to wrry.... easier said than done I bet! But there are a HUGE number of things it could be that arent sinister.

misdee · 23/11/2005 21:38

Gewt your eyes tested if you already havent. i got awful headaches for months, my doc said, oh your eyes would be terrible if it was eyestrain blah blah, and perscribe some really strong painkillers. which knocked me out and got rid of the headaches. i though i;d get my eyes checked anyway, as the pain got worse and worse, turned out i am shortsighted in one eye, longsighted in the other, only slightly as well, but that was what was causing the pain. hardly even had headaches now.

Roobietherednosedreindeer · 23/11/2005 21:39

Poor you .... at least they're following it up though. Worrying won't change a thing so please try and relax and adopt all the measures you can think of to improve your headaches.

starandsnowshaker · 23/11/2005 21:40

the gp gave me realy strong anti inflamitories as he said there was some swellin behind my eyes. drinking loads wearing my glasses. just had an eye test and was told it wasnt that

Merlin · 23/11/2005 21:41

Oh well you're doing all you can, hope you get an appointment soon to put your mind to rest.

starandsnowshaker · 23/11/2005 21:43

i feel bad cos banana isnt getting the attention she normally does just feed her and put her in her bumbo with her fav toys feel like im a crap mum

OP posts:

Merlin · 23/11/2005 21:45

dont be silly of course you're not a crap mum - just a poorly one at the moment doing the best you can. She will be fine. Do you manage to sleep OK or does the pain keep you awake?

starandsnowshaker · 23/11/2005 21:46

takes a while to get to sleep then wake up whith it as bad as ever

OP posts:

Merlin · 23/11/2005 21:49

have you tried spraying your pillow with something to relax you (Radox do a nice one)? Might help a bit to get you off. Window open a bit too (even in the Artic conditions )

starandsnowshaker · 23/11/2005 21:50

What's kapak?

I've just noticed you have baby. I don't know how old s/he is but when I was breastfeeding ds I had a terrible headache everytime immediately after feeding. Despite drinking loads of water, nothing helped and I'm afraid after nearly a month of this I gave up and bottle fed. The headaches ceased within 24 hrs. And I only had gas and air too.

starandsnowshaker · 23/11/2005 23:54

kapak is a painkiller i got after a car accident they are so strong docs wont prescribe them you can only get them in hospital

OP posts:

Mercy · 24/11/2005 09:35

Oh no how awful. Hope you weren't too badly hurt. Could the headaches be related to that?

Is your appointment soon?
