The Headache That Just Won't Quit

Posted on Jul 27, 2009 | 0 comments

I saw this picture and this describes how I feel exactly. I hate that I am so easily stressed. I even try to trick myself and not let things get to me. Somehow they lurk underneath and fester in the back of my mind silently attacking me. I honestly think I am a worrier (not sure if a word) at heart. My husband is the relaxed and calm one. Nothing bothers him. Me, I worry about everything from school starting soon to the weather. And when I start to worry or stress too much the headaches start. That has been a normal part of my life but the last few weeks the headaches have been so much worse. I am talking about bad too. Sharp, throbbing pain that just will not stop. It has gotten to the point where even the light is painful and not enough Tylenol or ibuprofen is working. All I can do is cry and pray for sleep. I try relaxing which never works. I tried breathing into a bag, almost passed out. The simple thing is to just go to the doctor. But I am scared. Scared I will end up going, they will run a bunch of tests, still don’t stop my headache and I have a huge doctor’s bill because none of the procedures were covered by my insurance. This has happened more than times than you would believe! I need to figure out something because these headaches are keeping me in bed all the time.

I just know that headaches can be a symptom of so many other things. I was pretty surprised to find out there is actually a National Headache Foundation. Well I shouldn’t be too surprised because there is a site for everything these days. I am hoping to find something useful here. I am willing to check out anything at this point.

If anyone has any home remedies or methods they like to try please share them. I would love to hear them
