My head hurts

by deadheaduk @ Tuesday, 18. Apr, 2006 - 23:09:20

Typical!! Been ill all over the easter weekend with my recurring sinus problems. Started as soon as I got into bed on Thursday night - agonising throbbing pain above my left eye. I've been up two or three times every night since. I've slept sitting up on the sofa more times than in bed. We went away at the weekend and there is nothing worse than being ill in someone elses house!!

The problem was that the drugs don't work (catchy title for a song that) until the pain starts and then I've got at least 30 minutes of agony waiting for the drugs to kick in. It's mostly at night but sometimes early evening too. I went to the emergency doctor yesterday and they gave me anti-biotics but the last two times I've taken them it's cured the sinus problem but gave me a really bad back (not that the doctors believe me) - so far today I've been ok so maybe I won't have to take them.

Are you sure the bad back isn't due to sleeping upright or being tense with the pain?

I've had sinus trouble, on and off, and I sympathise a lot!! Reflexology has helped, and applying gentle pressure in a sweeping mption towards my nose. If I remember anything else I'll get back to you.

It's possible but the back pain usually comes on after the sinus pain has gone - If i don't take the anti-biotics this time it will be interesting to see if my back still aches as I think I have done more sleeping sitting up this time.

This may be way off the mark BUT ... as it starts at night - you may be allergic to dust mites which can kick off your sinuses. I'm asthmatic and over the year have removed all the fabric I can from our house, carpets, curtains etc., and my night time agony of blocked nose and head pains have gone!

UPDATE: despite feeling fine all day Tuesday right up until I went to bed I was back up again by 1:20 this morning and on the sofa until at least 5am before I managed to get to sleep again. I didn't get to work today but did start taking the anti biotics.

It was my house he was ill in!!

It can't have been much fun for you mate - we are all really worried about you!
Hope you enjoyed the steam engines though, thanks for taking and bringing back my argumentative daughter. We really appreciated that. Thank You all in the Big Blue House for the break. Sorry you didn't get one when you got here.

We do forgive you for not being your usual cheerful self - however I thoroughly recommend getting the ENT deparment to give you a swift rodding of the sinuses!!
