And not just because I am in lots of pain and really shouldn't be on the laptop, but because it probably means something is wrong. I don't mean "OMG I am dying wrong", I mean in a I suffer with depression, insomnia and I'm a bit stressed type wrong.
I have suffered on and off with headaches for years a bit like my depression, coincidence? I am not sure if my depression brings on my headaches or my headaches bring on depression but when I have one the other is not far behind.
I have had scans in the past to make sure there is nothing sinister about my headaches and they didn't find anything, the consultant just told me I am just a person that suffers with headaches, what a great help that was!
So now I have this headache and it won't go away and I can't work because it hurts to be on the computer more than 15 minutes at a time. I can't sleep because I am stressed because now I have even more work to do and its piling up and I am sure the lack of sleep is making my headache worse!!! arrrrrghhhhhhhhh
I am now trapped in this sleepless, painful, stressful circle and I am not quite sure how to break out of it.
I need help, or advice or sleep, or all three!

I'm sorry to hear about your headaches. I'm sure you've tried absolutely everything but it's so horrible to be in pain I just wanted to say I hope you feel a lot better tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI've found when I get stuck in a headache cycle I blame the weather or hormones, either way I then don't get sucked into that feeling of dread about them and I always think that if the weather is different the next day something might shift. Bit Pollyanna I know.
Wishing you better!
cold flannel over your head, have a lie down No computer!
ReplyDeleteYou have my sympathy. I am a headache sufferer too, I think some people are just prone to them. I get all different types but the majority are affected by hormones or tiredness.
ReplyDeleteI don't like taking painkillers but I normally just have to give in and dose myself up with a migraine remedy or some Ibuprofen. That and lots of sleep normally seems to help.
I'm so sorry Carol.. what a nightmare you're going through :o( I hope you manage to get some sleep.. and then find some help to get you through this awful cycle.
ReplyDeleteI don't often get headaches like the one you describe but when I do, curling up in bed in the dark til it's gone is the only remedy.
Hoping you feel better very soon.
sorry you're not feeling great - hope you feel better real soon
ReplyDeleteIf I get a headache that won't shift I try cocodamol. Mine is usually a sinus headache so inhaling menthol crystal sometimes helps.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon x
