headaches


Question Posted Thursday January 6 2005, 4:29 pm

heu guys! any help would be appreciated... for the past couple months i've been getting really bad headaches, and it hurts to look at light or hear noises and stuff. Well I think they might be migraines. I try to tell mom but she won't listen. Is there anything i can do at home to make them better? and medicine doesn't work...

Hey!

I've been getting migranes for a feew years now. They're awful aren't they? If Advil and Asprin don't work, try calling your pediatrician directly instead of going through your mom. You can tell him how you feel and he may convince your mom to take you in. There are also some over the counter drugs that probably won't be amazing, but they will dull the pain a bit.

If none of that works, you can always try my method:

1) Put some comfy clothes on. You don't want to be restricted or uncomfortable.
2) Lie is bed with the covers
3) Take an eye mask to get rid of the light
4) Close your door for the quiet
5) Place a hot washcloth over your eyes
6) Try to sleep it off!

Good Luck! Please contact me with any new developments!

Why isn't your mom listening?

Ask the school nurse-- and if you do have migraines, she or he will contact your mom.

I get really bad headaches too. What I do is go in my room turn off all the lights and go to sleep. Also you might try taking advil (the gelly green ones), it helps a lot.

Try getting more sleep,if that doesnt help you may have something worse, than you think and could need a doctors opinion.But u never know,you could just need some prescripton medicine or lay off the computer screens and tv,till your headaches go away.

Maybe you have a vision problem. Girls who get a lot of headaches may have vision problems. Take an eye check, or take advil if it isn't a vision thing.

Drink plenty of water, and stay off caffine. I have an eye pillow that is filled with lavendar, and I put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. It is a great soother for headaches. I got mine at World Market, but I am sure you can find them online.

Inga_says answered Thursday January 6 2005, 5:04 pm:
HEY!! I have the same problem. I had the same headache for a whole two weeks and I thought that it was a migraine and I experienced every symptom that you have. I told my boyfriend's mom about this and she said that it was stress related. Are there any big thigscoming up that you are excited or worried about? Take a bath with bath salts that have special anti-stress chemicals in them. I did that and it helped. I also took Exedrin (or however you spell that) and it took my headaches away. I hope that this helps you!! :)

The samething was happening to me. My eyes were sensitive to light and everysound made my head pound even worse. Also it felt like i could feel my heary beating through my head and it hurt really bad. I ended up in the hospital because of it. But they found out it was nothing major. It was just something called a severe tension headache. Try taking ibuprofen. It helped alot. Well, hope i could help. kelly!

Hey, I know how you feel. Migranes can suck majorly, and people who do not suffer from them tend not to understand how sucky they can be. I know you said medicine doesn't work, but I HIGHLY suggest either of these pills or a combination of them. Try: Furenol or Imetrex
They are both the best on the market. I think you should gert both though and tke the Furenol when you feel a headache coming to head it off at the past. Once it becomes a full blown migrane try the Imitrex. It comes in pill form, shots, and nasal spray.(See your doctor for a perscription) Some things to remember, put one of those heating pads on your head (the kind with rice in them) Try to eat something like a cracker and if you feel like you are going to throw up, go for it..it will make you feel better..SLEEP IN THE DARK when you are having one. Best of luck. :)
