Headaches...
-
Every day I get out of bed and thank my God, all gods and any gods that I don't get migraines. For those of you that do (my wife included) I truly feel sorry for you as I've seen the havoc those things can wreak and I just don't want that. I've got some type of malady that is similar to a weak cold but is more achy and headaches are included. About 7 days worth of headaches. I'd go see a doctor as I find that alarming except my wife has it (headaches, not migraines included) and my 6 year old son has it (headaches included). My 2 year old has something that's got her all crabby and no doubt she's giving my wife and I headaches and Katie (the infector) is now over her symptoms which of course had me up all night for a few nights a few weeks ago. Anyway, I get like 2 headaches a year and even then 2 is a lot of headaches for me. How many of you get headaches/migraines? Do you get nauseated from them? My wife is completely bed-ridden from hers (migraines) and light, noise, everything hurts. My headaches are normally nothing and I can pretty much just lick the top of an Advil or rub the bottle on my head and they go away. However today my wife and I both have headaches and have tried sugar, Advil, caffeine and anything else we've heard works. The headaches haven't budged an inch and seem to be in total control. I'll fight to the death but I think for now at least the headache has something bigger than anything I can find to use against it...
I've had 3 migraines and they suck. The first time I thought I was detaching a retina or something because i started seeing this jagged flashing light in my center FOV and it didnt go away when I closed my eyes. By the time I thought about calling the eye doc, i noticed the jagged line was moving ever so slowly to my periphery... after about ~30 mins, it vanished out of view. (phew, i wasn't going blind)... well, not even 30 seconds later, I got the worst headache I ever had in my life. I couldn't even turn my head without it throbbing. I don't think I was over "sensitive" to anything (light, noise, etc), it just plain hurt, no matter what. Well, that lasted about 4 hrs, then I was fine. The second time I was building a deck out in the heat when I noticed the aura. I recognized it so wasn't worried as I knew what was comming. I took a break, grabbed a sandwich, and just sucked it up. That one only lasted ~ an hr or so, not too bad. The third one, about 6-9 months later, came on with a weak aura, just a little colored "fuzz" flashing at ~50Hz or so for about 10 mins and quickly escaped my FOV. The headach was more muted too, but it lasted almost 48Hrs! Well, i guess that really doesn't tell you much does it. :rolleyes: Anyway, it doesn't happen enough (thankfully) to be able to tie them to a particular "trigger". However, I did notice that the days I had them, there was an unusual amount of solar activity... It may sound odd, but I think it may be related somehow. Oh well, drink about a pint of gin and you won't even notice the headache ;P

I got sick two months ago for a month and a half. Coughing only. No cold, no pain, no sore through, but it did eventually lead to a bad headache. After the first month, I finally went to the doctor and he put me on a prescription for 10 days. That didn't do squat and I still refused to take any other medication. After feeling really foul one day, I took some Excedrin from my boss to be able to drive home. Left work early and slept for three extra hours for a total of 10. That kicked it. I'm not 100% better and I don't think I'll be until we get 100 degree weather, but I feel much better. Like you, if I get sick once or twice a year, that is way too much. Getting sick for a month and a half is a record for me. Hope y'all feel better. Thankfully, my family escaped it, but my boss was bedridden for a week. :)

I get both headaches and migraines. The headaches are usually defeated with some ibuprofen, water and a good warm shower. About twice a year I get a migraine that literally makes me sick to my stomach. Everything hurts, light, sound, the whole nine yards. The bad part is that it usually strikes while I'm out doing something and can't get home for about two hours. I take a hand full of ibuprofen with a coke crawl into bed in a completely dark room and pass out from the exhaustion of fighting to act relatively normal the whole time. I'll wake about four or five hours later and it'll be gone. Unfortunately they're getting worse as I get older. The last one had me in tears by the time I got into bed. I thought my head was going to explode.

If you haven't already, call your doctor. My sister had something very similar to what you describe above, not too long after that she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis[^]. Her doctor told her that what she experienced was a direct result of the MS. Better safe than sorry, you know? If I were you, I'd rather spend some time at the doctor's office getting a clean bill of health.

Hello, I face the same problem, but it is not weekly or monthly it is more of my daily dozz :doh: One of my friend who was studying ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE told me the cure which is slow but very affective: In the time of low/medium migraine or bearable headache: ======================================================== 1) get a normal tab water poor it on the back of the head skull just above the neck and rubb it or massage it lightly/gently. 2) If you are not wearing any perfume, put on a good perfume close to neck so can feel it in every breath. 3) if you are sitting on chair try to put your head bent back on the chair back in a complete relaxing position so your face will be towards the sky. 4) Now close your eyes and press your right hand thumb's nail (from top) with your left hand thumb and vice versa (with the amount of pressure that you can bear) just for 5 to 10 mins now keep your eyes close and try to take the perfume in your breaths I do this and i get relaxed in half an hour and this doze lasts for more than 24 hours with my brain. I hope if some one else tries it and find it useful.

I get migraines - on average once or twice a month? Yes, I get the nausea. I usually take paracetamol (Tylenol in the US?) for non-migraine headaches, but I've got Migraleve[^] for migraines - and they really work. There's two sets of pills. They're both a paracetamol + codeine mix, but one has an anti-nausea agent. I normally only need one or (rarely) two doses to reduce the migraine sufficiently that I can function almost normally. I really appreciated them at Christmas 2005 - I woke up on Christmas Day with a migraine, but after taking Migraleve, I was able to enjoy the day almost as normal.

Unfortunately I get migraine attacks regularly -(usually every 28 days - go figure). When one is coming, I get about 2 days of intense tiredness (the sort that no amount of sleep can satisfy) and then it usually starts partway through the next day. The headache is usually accompanied by nausea, occasionally by a very mild aura (though that's only started recently) and while it's in full flow (usually about 3 days) I'm good for very little...I can just about function if it's urgent, but I'd really prefer to spend the time in bed with a rolling programme of full body massages (about the only thing that will relax me enough to sleep well when I'm in that state). It's just ghastly. Beth hates it as she can't get anything out of me when I'm in the middle of an attack. :( I've not found any medication that really helps, either. Ibuprofen can help a little, but only if I pop them like smarties (not recommended) and only for a short while. Tramadol doesn't touch it (but can help me sleep) and as for Paracetamol - forget it. I've recently tried Migraleve and that didn't work either. :sigh:

I don't even get two headaches a year. In fact I have never knowingly had a headache and I hope I never do. I don't drink alcohol anymore, but when I did I wouldn't get hangovers either -- I would have to rely on the straight line test to see if I was really sober the morning after. In my case there is obviously some wiring crossed over because I 'miss out' on lots of those sorts of things. For example, I don't feel hunger: I could quite happily starve to death without feeling any discomfort, and sometimes it can be quite a chore to remember to eat. Thirst is fine, it's just hunger that doesn't flag anything up. My doctor believes it was due to some (legal) drugs I took in the past to help with an unrelated problem, which amongst other things caused two weeks of insomnia and shifted my body clock from a 10am rise to a 6am rise (totally screwing up my social life!!) The drugs caused terrible nausea and supposedly that triggered my problem, but IANAD. Fortunately I do still feel pain when I fall over, get hit, etc. That would be a serious disadvantage IMO. Imagine not knowing if you had broken your wrist or cut your leg! Personally I believe all of these things have evolved for good reasons, so despite me not knowing what a headache feels like you are likely the lucky one here. I do feel sorry for you during your headache though. Friends have told (and shown) me that they can be completly debilitating. Just to add another miracle cure to the list: my father used to get bad headaches a lot, but since he started taking anti-inflamatories for his bad joints he rarely gets them at all.

I'm so gangsta I eat cereal without the milkOccasionally I do not have a headache. Normally it is bearable, just elevated pressure and throbbing with sometimes a sudden sting. With more stress and/or less sleep it gets worse. I can't stand bright light and loud noises. For me it helps to tense and relax mouth and jaw muscles or massage my eye sockets (like chewing on a tennisball), but not much.

I've had migraines all my life. Unfortunately, it was never diagnosed until I was in my early 30's. When I was a kid, the doctor called it 'the 24-hour flu'. Later doctors said 'men don't get migraines; that's for middle-aged women' :|. Finally, I switched doctors and the new one said "let's find out what's causing your headaches, and how to treat them(*)". ... time and a number of medications pass ... My triggers are stress and lack of sleep. I still get 2-3 bad ones a year, but that's a vast improvement over the 3-4 a month I used to get. Exercising regularly and developing a life outside of work seems to have helped a lot. (*) Thanks Dr. Potts :love:!

The key for me was having a doctor who was willing to keep trying medications. Some doctors stick to a single medication, or whatever samples they have in their cabinets, and that's it. I tried several before we found a program that worked.

I would suggest exploring it with them. Migraine treatment improves all the time. Fortunately, we seem to have left the 'drill a hole in the skull to let the demons out' stage :rolleyes:.

When I was a kid I used to get real severe migraines. Haven't had one in almost 15 years now (*knock on wood*). People who haven't suffered a migraine doesn't know what it entails. It is not a headache. It's a body ache. Everything hurts. Sometimes I puked, sometimes I didn't. It depends on how severe the attack is I suppose. Have you guys tried just resting/sleeping in total darkness and silence? Don't forget to drink water, no matter how much it makes you want to puke. Dehydration just adds to the pain... I suggest you go see a doctor though, especially so since this seems to be the symptoms of a disease, and not migraine.
-- They don't really want you to play "Freebird". They're just heckling you!
I totally agree on seeing a doctor. Usually even migraine is a disease itself, but it's triggered by another disease or event. Most of my migraines are triggered by either stress, long straight time without a good meal, or stomach bugs. Which in turn could be stress all of them... :) Migraines have good medication for themselves, but nothing replaces the good rest on a dark silent room. And Joergen is right about water too. Regards!

I've had migraines ever since I was in the 3rd grade (I'm 44 now). The biggest trigger for me is fluorescent lighting. It took years before I actually figured out what the problem was. When I was in middle school, I went to a school that had almost no windows so un-natural light was common. I had a headache nearly every day for two years. The high school I went to had a wall of windows to the outside. I only had headaches once in awhile. In college, I spent time in computer labs with no windows and florescent lighting. Headaches returned daily. Now, I'm in an office (no windows) that has both florescent and incandescent lighting. On days that the fluorescents are on... headache ensues. No problems with the incandescent lighting. Of course, the other source of headaches could be the one guy who 'thinks out loud' all day long and narrates his entire day. And of course, his voice could strip plaque off your teeth. The cure for me is usually a couple or three of Excedrin Migraine and several hours in a pitch dark (even the alarm clock digits are too bright)/silent place. Although, there are times that the headache will linger for several days. I also have nausea and dizziness that goes along with those headaches. ~Bob

Every day I get out of bed and thank my God, all gods and any gods that I don't get migraines.

My 2 year old has something that's got her all crabby and no doubt she's giving my wife and I headaches and Katie (the infector) is now over her symptoms which of course had me up all night for a few nights a few weeks ago. Anyway, I get like 2 headaches a year and even then 2 is a lot of headaches for me. How many of you get headaches/migraines? Do you get nauseated from them? My wife is completely bed-ridden from hers (migraines) and light, noise, everything hurts. My headaches are normally nothing and I can pretty much just lick the top of an Advil or rub the bottle on my head and they go away.

I'm 21 and I had my first attack at age 15. I'm down to 1/year, so I guess I'm lucky. Both my parents suffer from it, but also not more than once or twice a year. The 'funny' (nothing about Migraines is funny) thing is that I never really have headaches. I just have the symptoms that occur before most people have a heavy attack. - First every nerve-cluster in my right hand, starting from pinky to elbow gets consequently numbed out. Pretty scary when you're a 15 year old lying on his bed trying to sleep. - after that a part of my vision disappears, but my brain seems to be unaware of it gone missing. I can only tell by trying to read something and realizing that I can't read words, only letters. Once I had it in the entire right field of my vision and couldn't recognise faces anymore. - By this time I've always been lucky enough to find a bed and lie down in a dark, silent room for a few hours. But right before that the craziest of symptoms occurs. This has happend only about three or four times. I can't create sentences anymore. I can only utter complete gibberish and I can't process any information. It feels like going mad, and every time I had this I become hysterical, because I have no idea what on earth is going on with me. One of the scariest things. Try to read a comic book and you spend 30 minutes on the first page, and then just give up trying. Never have I had an unbearable headache, and I really fear the day that I will. I do have possibly related headaches, but they have never appeared close to these symptoms. Alcohol is a factor, and paracetamol + caffeine helps.
Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you?

Every day I get out of bed and thank my God, all gods and any gods that I don't get migraines. For those of you that do (my wife included) I truly feel sorry for you as I've seen the havoc those things can wreak and I just don't want that. I've got some type of malady that is similar to a weak cold but is more achy and headaches are included. About 7 days worth of headaches. I'd go see a doctor as I find that alarming except my wife has it (headaches, not migraines included) and my 6 year old son has it (headaches included). My 2 year old has something that's got her all crabby and no doubt she's giving my wife and I headaches and Katie (the infector) is now over her symptoms which of course had me up all night for a few nights a few weeks ago. Anyway, I get like 2 headaches a year and even then 2 is a lot of headaches for me. How many of you get headaches/migraines? Do you get nauseated from them? My wife is completely bed-ridden from hers (migraines) and light, noise, everything hurts. My headaches are normally nothing and I can pretty much just lick the top of an Advil or rub the bottle on my head and they go away. However today my wife and I both have headaches and have tried sugar, Advil, caffeine and anything else we've heard works. The headaches haven't budged an inch and seem to be in total control. I'll fight to the death but I think for now at least the headache has something bigger than anything I can find to use against it...
I had migraines for a while when I was in college. I eventually figured out that aged cheese like cheddar is my main trigger. So, by avoiding those types of cheeses I get very few and much more mild migraines now. I did take medicine back when I was in college, but hated the side effects which I thought were worse then the pain.

I am in the same boat as your wife. What bugs me is that I'm really completely incapacitated by them sometimes... not like I don't want to do things, I can't. I get all dizzy and sick and definitely can't stare a computer screen in that situation. All I can do is try to sleep it off... and that's hard because the headache keeps me up. Sometimes a cold shower helps actually, but it's a crap shoot - sometimes it makes it worse. Happens that way about once a month, but I get minor migraines maybe once a week.
