I feel like my head is going to explode. But no worries. It's just the right side of my head. The left side is fine. So if my head DOES explode, I will only lose my creativity, not my use of logic. At least that's what wikipedia said. I'm not that creative anyway, so no big deal. I don't even know if I'm very logical, either. But at least I'll be able to BE logical if I want to.
I get headaches a lot. Always have. My mother is a headacher and at least one sister is a headacher. Headacher. I made that up. See, I haven't lost my creativity yet.
Once, years and years ago, I was going to my twin nephews' soccer game with my sister. I got a headache - - I remember the exact moment it began - - and I was sick for a week. I couldn't drive to go home so I stayed on my sister's couch for a week. The doctor said it was a tension headache. I don't know. Maybe that's right. But I tell my children now that I had an aneurysm. They laugh. But it sounds better than a tension headache.
At any rate, I am going to put my head on my desk now. And hope I can lift it later.
awww i hope your head feels better soon :(
ReplyDeleteI'd get a second opinion. I'm not sure a tension headache puts you out for a week. I hope you feel better soon and don't have an aneurysm. Those are bad.
ReplyDeleteI was just reading up on tension headaches - - they can last up to a week - yikes!
DeleteOw. Feel better!
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteMaybe too much ice cream...?
ReplyDeleteSorry... That 's joke.
What I really meant is maybe you are sensitive to certain foods and should look for the culprit in that direction. I know a few people like that..
Hope this case will be a very very very short one and only last the time of a quick desk head nap!
That's funny, Anni. When I saw your name pop up I thought I'd tell you it was because of too much ice cream (like that's possible!)!
DeleteTension headache for a week!!! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better!
I know exactly how you feel. I use to have headaches all the time until I started wearing glasses. I still get them every once in awhile, and they usually last about 3 days. My mom was a headacher, too.
ReplyDeleteMine has been coming and going . . . and we're now into 5 days :(
DeleteAs a fellow headacher, I completely understand. Hope it gets better!
ReplyDeleteHeadachers unite!
DeleteI have a friend who gets migraines, and they are the worst. I've found the best cure for any headache is nap. :-) Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI say that about everything - - sleep sleep sleep!!!!
DeleteIs that what my head looks like inside? I had no idea there were tiny little people in there!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't know there were so many people in there helping to make your brain work, huh? Kind of creepy, isn't it?
DeleteI keep Excedrin tension headache in my purse at all times because mine start in my neck and shoulders and by the time they get to my head, I want to die.
ReplyDeleteUsually a massage every 8 weeks works for me (try it)
Look up what headache triggers are and try to avoid them. See, I am logical (my husband would argue that)
Yes, neck and shoulders, then head! I am going out today to buy Excedrin tension headache stuff - - thanks!
DeleteFor a guy with a long list of head issues, being a headacher isn't one. Never get 'em. Would you like to trade issues? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark, I guess I'll just keep my headaches :)
DeleteOh I'm so sorry; nothing worse that a bad headache especially if you are prone to them. hoping it has eased up by now???
ReplyDeletebetty
Thanks, Betty. I find if I just tilt my head to the right it is not so bad :)
DeleteI am so sorry! As a life long sufferer of migraines, I can relate to the pain that literally stops life. I need a cold rag, a dark room, and a Mt. Dew. I like the caffeine. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteThe dr told me once about caffeine helping - - I may have to drink a Coke today :)
DeleteRule out soccermiseryitis, rule out politics. lol
ReplyDeleteSeriously, as a former transcriptionist, there could be many, many reasons for a recurring and/or persistent headache. From my knowledge, and mind you, I am not a doctor, sometimes symptoms can go undiagnosed.
Truly, if you're able, get a 2nd and or 3rd opinion and play it safe.
I hope for the best for you.
Def not soccermiseryitis :) And I kind of enjoy the politics (call me crazy).
DeleteI'm a headacher as well & have been since I was in high school. My husband calls it redneck medicine but I swear by BC powders. Hope your headache didn't last too long.
ReplyDeleteI like that - redneck medicine! I may have to try them!
Deletetension? sounds more like a migraine .. my advice for a NOT a migraine is 'take two tylenol extra strength' you'll thank me .. BUT if it is a migraine .. dont take anything or you'll get really nauseous .. you're welcome
ReplyDeleteThank you, Daryl. No, really - - thank you :) haha
DeleteMy last job caused headaches that made me feel as if my head would explode. I lived on the Exedrin Tension Headache for the last 10 months that I was there. I agree tho with others you should go and see if they are migraines.
ReplyDeleteI am self-diagnosing :) I googled yesterday and don't really have any of the migraine symptoms like nausea, needing to be in a dark room, etc. I guess, though, if I wanted to be doctor I would have gone to school :)
