Hi

Any one suffer with bad headaches?

Like migraines but not sever as I’ve had migraines before and been bed ridden.

This has just been lingering now .

Just taking ibuprofen and lots of water .

Still eating etc just feels horrible.

Thanks everyone hope you have all had a good weekend x

Yes. I have a slight dull headache about half the time. Not really sure why? Always thought I was slightly dehydrated because of high urination frequency. In fact, drinking additional water makes it worse. Almost like a vicious cycle. I just started sprinkling salt on my breakfast and lunch hoping the salt can help retain the fluids better and lessen my dull headache. The added salt seems to be helping!

Thanks.

Wish I could just relax and stop googling things 😢 just hate them it definitely feels like a migraine but not as bad .

Can feel my face warm also think it’s the rash I usually get but can’t be bothered getting up to see 😂🙈 lay on the couch trying to relax x thanks for your help x

Maybe try and go outside and exercise . Walk near a creek or river or a jog to get your mind off it. Sometimes we try and over analyze things and creates a vicious circle of worry and symptoms

It’s very dark here and I’d never go out late round here lol .

I haven’t been able to run for nearly two years now due to constant balance and dizziness problems.

Can’t wait to finally get some answers thanks though.

I’m just watching friends on Netflix makes me laugh x

I had a really bad headache for six months and then it went. Three months later is back almost every day. Doctor took me off Co-Codamol and put me on Tramadol when necessary. Said Co-Codamol did not help headaches. Also put me back on Paracetamol which is a pain because I can only buy 32 at a time. Could get them from doctor but feel guilty as they are charged so much.

Yes I do! On and off for days at a time coupled with awful tiredness. I wake up with it every day for a few days, then it lifts until the next time! Xx

Yup....shocking headaches. Started drinking 3 litres of water a day to see if it helps. Eased a bit over the past few weeks but when they really start I feel I could faint they are so sore. Still waiting on new meds from the dermatologist that I seen 3 weeks ago......my facial rash is sore and burns most of the time. You could just give in to this torture or instead shove on the water proofs and get out walking with the dog....keep the chin up. X

Yes I had one last week that lasted 4 days , I got a few bruises and a hand rash so it would fit with a usual flare pattern for me.

Flipping horrid though I took mygraleve like smarties
