Headache...

[MadMen]

I've had a headache all bloody day :-(

Taken two paracetamol and, half an hour ago, two Ibuprofen. It's still banging :(

Just drank two bottles of water, so not dehydrated.

Anything else I can take?

My son has been in bed all day with a headache (he's never ill), my daughter came round this afternoon and she also has a headache that won't go. I had a headache for 7 days from Thursday 21st march to 28th. Nothing moved mine other than sleep. :(

Hope you feel better soon.x

[MadMen]

7 days?!! :-((

That sounds awful. Poor you :-( x

I've tried everything. Glasses, pain killers, loads of water. Haven't touched a drop of alcohol either. Bloody horrible.

Thanks Daff. xx

Oh, the old headache excuse again!

[MadMen]

Hehe ;))

It was true when I said it last week!

[daffy654]

My oh was beginning to think I had a brain tumour or something, he wanted me to contact the GP but I hate doctors so just waited for it to go on it's own. It had me quite debilitated. I was very glad when it went!

Got any Tiger Balm, madmen? It stinks but rubbing it on the temples and forehead helps me. (It takes your mind off the headache with the stinging, too)

Paracetamol doesn't touch me, I take paracetamol and codeine. Go to bed, stop computing, and put a flannel on your head.

[MadMen]

Daffy, don't say that! That's what I was saying this morning! (Ever the dramatic) lol

[MadMen]

Box, no Tiger Balm, although I have used it in the past and it does indeed help :)

I think I'll go to bed shortly (she says) but I've tried all the usual things to help; darkened room, glasses, etc :(

Thanks xx

How's your head today MadMen?

[MadMen]

Ah thanks Daffy, that's really nice of you to ask :)
Its still there, but more of a dull ache.

[daffy654]

At least it isn't as bad today then. I hope it goes completely very soon :)
My son's head is still hurting and he hasn't even got up yet which is not like him at all.

[Smowball]

Ive got a dull ache, he's at work at the moment : )

[MadMen]

Thanks Daffy. That's very kind :-)
I hope your son feels a bit better soon too.

I've not felt right all day. A bit spaced out.

Hi Jordy,
I wear glasses to watch TV, but I must admit I haven't been wearing them very often recently as I've been sitting quite close to the telly. I know that sounds ridiculous and like the obvious problem, but it's only now you mention it that I've thought about it :-/
Still got a headache today. Was supposed to be at the doctors in ten minutes but I'm stuck trying to fix a fridge freezer, and have food all over the place. Aghhh. No wonder my bloody head hurts.

[MadMen]

Thanks Triggs :-)
I'm going to have a hot bath and an early night. x

Last year I had a headache for about 3 weeks - night and day - day and night - all the tablets I took no good. It will go away eventually - unless it is your eyes or migraine.

[MadMen]

Thanks Conne :-)
It's very much on and off at the moment. I can feel it now, but it's more of a dull ache. Don't think it's a migraine, as I've asked about those before, and they sound pretty horrific.
I've given up with the painkillers, they weren't really making much difference anyway and I seemed to be popping them all day and night.
It'll go, I'm sure. As above, just need an early night and to be able to sleep.
