Different day, different pain.

Firstly I feel I need to apologise because it must seem that I just come on here to moan, I do try not to, it just seems that every day there is something new!

I was only diagnosed a month ago and just seem to be going downhill fast! Am getting daily headaches now, pain right behind my eyes, more sensitive to light and there are so many lights at this time of year!

How can I stop the stress of coping making everything worse?

Hi veggiemomma

I am so sorry to read that you are suffering in this way, and I genuinely hope that you can find some resolution and relief to this issue.

I saw my Neurologist the other week, as my migraines started turning into daily headaches. He advised me to cut down on my use of Co-Codamol as he said it could be responsible for causing daily headaches due to a ''rebound effect'' of the medication. It is too early to tell if it is working for me or not?

It is advisable to discuss this with your GP or Medical Specialist if your headaches continue or get any worse.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Please do not apologise for moaning. Living with fibro is tough. Espescially at the beginning. Thing will get easier as you learn to cope and find what works for you. It is not helping any of us just now, the cold weather affects all and the stress of xmas is making thing worse.

Come to us as often as you like.

As for coping with stress, well we each have our own way. For me it is a bath full of hot lavender scented water, I will often dose off.

Sending lots of hugs sue xx

Mayrose and Ken have said it all I think :) I can agree fully with Mayrose as when I was first diagnosed I felt it was all downhill from there. After a while I realised that your head has a lot to do with it and how you react to the things about you. Don't be too hard on yourself and as Mayrose says you will learn to adapt and pace yourself :) I also suffer from daily headaches like a lot of people on here, as Ken says watch out for medication that can cause the headaches and try to relax if you can, it really does help.

I hope it all works out for you :)
