Re: Headaches: do you suffer from them and what kind do you get?
My son took a migraine for the first time at work last week. He could only see half vision from each eye, then had a horrendous headache and was violently sick. He came home to me and went to bed and slept it off. He said it was horrendous. Touch wood it doesn't ever happen again for him. There was no rhyme nor reason for it. I'm very fortunate that paracetamol works for me for headaches.

My doctor told me that last week, to STOP googling medical information. But I can't help it now. Most medications didn't used to bother me. I could take just about anything (except penicillin) and it did what it was supposed to do with very little, if any at all, side effects. Now every single thing I take gives me side effects and I sometimes wonder if it's because I look up the possible side effects to everything I'm prescribed BEFORE I take it and just knowing what the side effects are, I actually develop them. I'm wondering if a lot of my problem with medication is psychosomatic.

Again, they're dullish and quick, but are more annoying than painful. They just kind of flutter and linger around in my head (intermittently, not constantly) and it's getting on my nerves. I just want to smack myself in the head and scream Agggghhhh! Stop it!!!! but then I'll just give myself more headaches.

Re: Headaches: do you suffer from them and what kind do you get?
I suffer from terrible headaches and migraines.My headaches are usually very very dull pains behind my eyes that are motion sensitive, whereas my migraines destroy my vision almost entirely and give me severe numbness down half of my face and body usually.
It sounds worse than it is though, I have had them for years so you just learn to live with it. My doctor is fully aware and has not suggested any medication or change in lifestyle (other than quitting drinking and smoking) that may help.

Drinking and smoking, I'm afraid those are my vices. I know it's bad for me, but it keeps me sane. However, it's probably only adding to my problems, as I'm entering the early stages of the change of life and that causes enough problems as it is.

Re: Headaches: do you suffer from them and what kind do you get?
I've had a bad headache for a week or so, which I can't get rid of. However, I've only just stopped coughing since late October/November, so have probably dislodged everything in my skull!!Started antibiotics Tuesday just gone, still have a sore throat, and pains in my jaw, so haven't a clue what's going on. Whether it's all part of the viral infection, or whether I've unknowingly started a third one. (The second having started the week before Christmas.)
Gave in last night and took pain killers.
I always seem to have headaches, but they could be stress related.

I only get these in the winter and I think I know the cause.
Because on a sunny day in the morning the glare catches and I get a pain in right eye(lazy eye) next day wake up with a nagging headache.
Tried anti glare glasses but no use.
