I have had a headach for a while now and have numbness down my left side of my face, i feel very tired and could sleep all day.

I am just coming to the end of my period, and have not taken any paracetomols during that. (just thought i would say that why?? who knows)

Anyway every morning i wake up with a headach and feel shit i am going to go to the gp tomorrow but i know she will ask am i stressed well who isn't plus i am woundering if it is my wisdom teeth as i have been told they are growing up rather than down.

WOrst case is i may have a tumor??

i never go to gp last time 6 months so i am not a hyprocondiriac (sp)

More a rant than anything thank you anyway xx

Poor old you. No real advice really, but stress does do funny things to you. I come out in a bumpy rash thing across my forehead and eyes. The odds of you having a tumor are far smaller than you getting hit by a bus on the way to the GP's in the morning, so try and calm down a bit. Oh God, hope you don;t spend the rest of the night worrying about being mown down on the way to the doctors...

poo 2 thanks no i am not worried about that funny though, just that i don't like going to the dr's feeling ok now meds kicked in probably is stress.. ttc & parent problems & sister problems arhhh looking for a new house and the list goes on.

Dh has just said he doesn't think it's a tumor coz "only the good die first" bless him then he made me a cup of tea and a cake

Have you had a metallic taste in your mouth? The reason I ask coz numbness on one side of face is a sign of Bell's Palsy. I had this about 4 years ago.

Also it can be linked to pregnancy.... I had it when pregnant with dd...
