Joe Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Do you use Computers much?I get quite a few headaches, generally there down to me starring at the screen all day. I now have a handy stash of pills in the drawer just in case.It is a nightmare though, mine are generally them annoying ones that sit just behind your eyes, only way to get rid of them is sit in the dark style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linz Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Don't get them often, but when I do I usually get them bad and am bedded for the night. Also get really nauseous. The other half's sister used to get them alot and quite often passed out.You said you are getting them at work - do you work at a computer all day? Possibly eye strain - have you had your eyes tested lately? That helped sort out headaches for me. Not much help really, but I sympathise. Hope they go soon!

Ive suffered with them so badly from day one and i know how much they hurt. Its hereditory (sp) too so i blame the parents!There is quite litterally no cure, lying down in a dark room does help - so long as you dont move or think or even attempt to get up again style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />Ive been in and out of hospital loads with them, back in the school days i had one so bad i went temporarily blind. Had so many brain scans, referred to a Neurologist and blood tests and at one point they even questioned pressure on the brain which scared the crap outa me...Ive sort of learnt to deal with them tbh, tablets dont really work but (not endorsing or anything) Migraleve is the best ive found so far. (Take the flourescent yellow one when you 1st start getting a headache, then if it contunues to a full blow migrane take the badboi PINK ones. They will pretty much knock you out tho so maybe dont take them at work style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> )Hope you feel better soon m'love style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willcrook Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Yeah I work on computers for a large portion of the day!The first one I had was crazy, I was absolutely goosed - had to be driven home !It's like i'm tripping or something alot of the time , I look at my arms and they dont look like there actually mine etcMadnessI've got into the habit of closing my eyes whenever possible or going to the toilets just to close my eyes for a few minsHopefully its just a short term thing , but its been happening daily for like 2 weeks!Tehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luppie70 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Go to the Dr's and opticians just to rule out anything serious mate.. you should also take a 15min break every half hour if using computers all day as your main work, H&S and all that.

jon_273 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I started getting migraines a lot in school, I got my eyes tested and found out that I needed glasses for distance. I don't need to wear glasses all the time but when I have them on it stops my eyes from having to strain.Definitely get your eyes tested, I hardly ever get migraines now, and wearing glasses is a lot better than getting regular migraines!!

IDGM Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I get them too, usually behind my left eye. I either wake up with one (that's the day knackered) or develop one during the day. Feeling sick and the runs seem to go hand-in-hand with mine. Dark rooms and a dollop of pills does the trick for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
