Everyone I know seems to be under the weather this week and experiencing headaches. I think it must have something to do with this awful low pressure we are experiencing at the moment. All I want to do is sleep!!

All I would suggest loopyc is to get as much rest and sleep as possible and not try to do so much.

I just curl up on my sofa,put a hot awlter bottle on my head and have a sest.Not very practical but I find that aspirins don't work and heat is the only cure.

Sorry loopy dont think my arms are long enough!

Hi loopy - I do sympathise with you!

Over the last month, I've had two migraines (zig zags, the lot) & other awful headaches due to sinusitis. I've been to the doc's & he's prescribed me a steroid nasal spray which is just starting to kick in.

I also get lots of 'weather' headaches, which sounds like what you might be having. I find that taking Syndol, drinking lots of water & rest helps with those.

I do hope you're feeling better soon. Take care. -x-

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck.
Headaches can be caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more serious reasons
like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side effects, so it is better to modify your
lifestyle. More information available at http://tinyurl.com/q8696

in the short term a cold compress may help, might be a good idea to get your blood pressure checked, most chemist offer this service,
