Ok...so I survived the party --sitting in a chair the whole time.
But wow..couldn't sleep a wink and woke up with a HUGE headache. I even get this chill across my shoulders and back -- going back to bed! Any suggestions here?? This is nuts! What is going on with my brain? |

well to continue how bad the day got...I could barely even stand talking to a friend on the phone -- My head feels like its going to explode --- forget tv...I can hardly watch anyway and today was out of the question...5 mins and I shut it off
My kids got home from school and I could barely talk to them...my head is just killing me. oh...and unsteady -- that got worse too - I feel like i'm on a boat on a tidal wave. |

I can be "down" for several days to a week if I overdo things.

I would ask for a PT evaluation to see if that can help your headaches and
other issues. This is something that has helped mine. I get a added help for the headaches, but many are sent to one because of headaches. Donna |

I did some physical therapy...and chiropractor...neither helped.
All my issues are overstimulation...even tv and computer -- 5 mins at a time. |

Drink lots of water
Eat healthy foods Drink a little caffeine and take a couple pain killers Sleep plenty Have you made sure that you do not have any major problems? I know that my neurologist was worried about bleeding, but with an MRI and MRA he said that there was nothing. It is a very tough road, but we can all make it we just have to find a reason to do so! Good Luck! Mary |
