Hot head!

Hello All,

Something that I've forgotten to ask, and has now become a more frequent 'thing' is a hot head.

J started mentioning having patches of hotness inside her head, even describing it as a kind of menthal heat. It's become a sensation that now covers her head and occurs more frequently ...about 2-3 times per week and can last an hour.

Paracetamol doesn't have an impact, in fact J say's it sometimes seems to make it worse.

Has anyone else come across this before?

Cheers

Hello Elaine,

J doesn't say its painful but uncomfortable and worrying because in your head and very odd. The term 'menthal' to describe heat is strange but thats how J says it feels....like a deep heat feeling in the head.

She's also had that feeling in her throat on occasions.

Hi, Nope, no temperature just this hot glowing sensation, as you say no doubt someone will have heard of this along the way.

hubby has not complained of that (yet). However his head regularly sweats at night. Just his head and it soaks the pillow. And the burning pain in his feet and knees at night. So far never during the day.

This sounds like something my husband suffers from now (after a stroke some 18 months I ago??? We are trying to sort out his multi problems ourselves as medics apparently cannot???????
