Headache/sinus pain

[fred-dearing]

as a fibro and many other things sufferer, I would like to know if anyone else suffers with painful sinus's and headaches. doctors have given me two types of spray and a cream to insert in my nose but they have not had any effect. my headaches started on top of my head then moved over my left eye and now moved and is thumping over my right ear, does anybody else get these?

regards

Fred

Yes I posted this week about constant headaches and someone mentioned sugar and sweetness are not good for fibro suffers x

hi thanks for your input I have recently had a change in appetite and I am craving more sweet foods than I usually do, there could be something in the sugar and sweetness thing. I will try and get back on track and see if that makes a difference, I hope your headaches go away and your pains be very minor ones.

I have cravings like that often and sometimes for my next real health I then give in and take my chances x

Hi Fred-dearing, I have also been suffering from sinus pain and also migraines now on a daily basis, I have been getting blurred vision,feeling sick, blood in my nose and feeling like I don't really know what I'm doing half the time. I get 12 migraine tablets each month which doesn't last but that's my limit on prescription, I too have been prescribed countless of sprays, none have worked. At the moment I am really struggling with the constant pain that never lets up, I know I need to go and see my gp, especially about the blurred vision and blood in nose which is a new symptom but getting an appointment is like gold dust and at the moment I want a break from doctors. Sorry for the long moan, this pain in my head has taken over. So I truly hope and pray that you get some relief because I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone.

hi sweepsooty my gp says I have classic sinusitis but after 4 weeks of various medications I feel just as bad, whenever I mention the blurred vision and giddiness he tells me it is the cocktail of drugs I am on. I now just take the tablets and hope to have one day a week when I feel I bit better. I hope you get some relief from your ongoing headaches and pain.

Hi fred-dearing

Just wondered if you were on Amitriptyline?

I know it increases appetite, especially for sweet things.

I'm having a really dry mouth, nose & nose has blood in it.

My headaches are increasing again & I'm on preventative migraine drugs & have tablets for attacks.

This is my third time around with Amitriptyline as after so long I have to come off it as side affects begin to outweigh any benefits.

hi Cheetiecat thanks for your reply, I had Amitriptyline years ago but caused too many side effects so had to come off it. I am managing my problems with co-codamol and plenty of rest.

thanks

Fred
