...but I'm not. I am drinking lots but still feel the same. Why?

Tired? Going down with a cold?

tired

TooTicky · 20/08/2007 23:14

Hm, tired maybe. It doesn't normally affect me this way though.

if you've had several nights of short/broken sleep then you could find that's the reason - I hardly sleep as it is, but if for some reason (ie I get carried away with stuff on the computer) I get even less sleep for a few days then a few days later I get the headache.

Ah. Maybe I have been staying up late MNing a little more than usual.

get yourself off to bed early then (says she who's tired but will no doubt not go to bed until 12.30 at the earliest )

TooTicky · 20/08/2007 23:26

I'm off! (nearly...)

Headaches can be a sign of high blood pressure. Get it checked next time you go to the doctor just in case.

Really? My blood pressure is normally v. low.

TooTicky · 21/08/2007 09:03

Ah, could be... thanks.
