Rant 92 - 1/4/12 Subject: Headaches

Rant number 92


Ouch, I have a headache. This is one of countless ones I have so far had this year - and its just bloody irritating.

I get headaches if I drink too much (booze mostly,) a headache if I don't drink enough (fluids other than booze,) headaches when I eat something that doesn't agree with me and for myriad other reasons I cant work out.

Why - after all these years of evolution, do I sometimes feel like taking up trapanning (making a hole in my head for those of you not familiar with the term!) to let off the pressure.

I've always suffered with headaches quite a bit including full on migraines - which feel like a midget is using the front of your brain as a pogo stick, why is it that we have to have such a design fault!

The other thing is that a headache, once it has gathered momentum, is almost impossible to cure without hours of rest. Paracetamol doesn't work for me anymore, iboprufen works intermittently, cocodamol seems to the best bet at the moment, but even that is not guaranteed.

I wish that there was an answer to it, a way to avoid them altogether - but I suppose there isn't.

What a pain - both literally and figuratively.

Rant over.

  1. One of the varieties of migraleve will work...with the migraines! But they cost a fortune and you have to know which one you need. I rarely get the headache bit, but just go blind for a while. I promise you, that's worse!
