Dear Dr BCF...

[garth]

So, I have a Docs appointment booked for 8.40 tomorrow morning.

For the last week I've had a splitting headache that won't go. I've also found it difficult to focus my vision, especially when looking at the Sky listings, etc. Lastly, I drink lots of water, I've done 1.5l since 8.30 this morning.

Now you google those symptoms and it throws up Diabetes. Which is nice. So before the Doctor tells me I have aids or something, can anyone reccomend andything I can do / what it may be?

I don't drink excessive alcohol or eat badly. I'm not overweight. I exercise regularly.

I'll do the Dr. House bit and have a wild guess at high blood pressure.

NEVER EVER GOOGLE YOUR SYMPTOMS! EVER! By the time you've finished, it's telling you that you are in a coma with beri-beri, measles and the plague. Stop worrying, get off the computer (bad for headaches) and just go along in the morning and see what the doctor says.

The Ghay... a definate 100% case of.

I would say the water and pee'ing go hand in hand so wouldnt worry about that.

I get all day headaches from bad nights sleep (not that I sleep much anyway, but when them few hours are restless etc I will normally suffer the day after with a headache akin to a hangover.

for those on about the water vs peeing thing. drinking plenty of water makes your body produce a hormone which tells it to pee loads. can't remember the name of the hormone though for the life of me.

it's a trick fighters use to cut weight for a weigh in. drink a gallon or so a day for a week or 2, and then for 48 hours before the weigh in drink nothing. body still has plenty hormone coursing around so you pee away all your fluids and lose 5-10lbs which can easily be regained in the 24 hours leading up the the actual fight.

Hi,
I had this for 2 weeks before it turned into a nasty snotty cold and finally went last weekend.

During that time i felt drunk Couldn't focus, couldn't think straight and felt like my IQ had dropped in other words i felt stupid lol (I sh*t you not). I also had a pounding headache. There were lots of ppl at my work with similar symptoms.

Anyway i'm nearly back to my old self. I'm putting my money on viral infection possibly a head cold?

Cheers,
Shaun R.

Now you come to mention it i think it probably was

[Kradmelder]

when I first moved to the Transvaal I got really bad headaches. I was taking panado several times a day and it didnt help. I have never ever called in sick from work in life, but these headaches were so bad I couldnt work.

I went to the doc and he said stress. I laughed. I said doc I have faced stress in my life in the army, and never got headcahes, and besides, there is no stress in civvie street.

he sent me to a specialist. The specialist (some neuro something), could find nothing and I was sent for an NMR. Nadda.

I went to the local herbal shop. They gave me something for sinus. First organic pill...head ache gone. The transvaal is bad for sinus.


Mayebe you have sinus? I had no runny nose, didnt feel stuffed up etc. Sinus openings clogged high up in your head and the headache is behind your eyes.

Let me know how this pans out.

I've had a splitting headache for over a week now also.
