A Week Of Headache Attack

27 February 2009 By: Marlene13 Comments

You might be wondering why I haven’t updated my blog since last Monday’s post.  My blogging routine is to publish two or three posts per week, sometimes more than that if time permits.  But I’ve had a headache attack for four days straight that’s been keeping me from blogging and staying up late.  Monday was the worst cos I had to call the office and informed that I would come late due to a terrible headache.  I went out and worked despite of this cos staying at home would only make me feel sick.  I thought I’d caught colds and flu the following days but luckily, it was just slight headaches.  Although bearable, the annoyance it caused was uncomfortable and distracting that I couldn’t focus on what I was doing.

I know for a fact that it’s not a migraine headache because I haven’t experience nausea, vomiting and other sensitivities at the time of the attack.  I couldn’t exactly tell how and what triggered my headache but I know I am sensitive to smoke and odors.  But hubby doesn’t smoke and we both don’t wear perfumes.  The only place I could smell fragrances and smoke is in public places like at the bus stop and malls.  Medicines help alleviate the pain but I feel dizzy when I take twice a day.  In Davao, I used to let my sister massage the back of my head and neck and the headache would be gone fast.  I did ask hubby to massage me once but he was like massaging a baby, afraid the skin might be stripped off the body. 

It’s hard to tell what causes me headaches  but one thing I can say for now – I’m glad it’s over!   Until then, have a nice weekend everyone.

    Yes, I saw you were not posting. Good to see you are online again. Too much of focus on one subject is one of the reason of headache. In my case when I try to concentrate too much on writing I too sometimes have headache. Then I have to visit barber.
    Take Care !

      Hobo, thanks. I do hope it will not happen again cos it makes me feel weak and I’m losing courage to do what I want to do. Maybe we just need to get away from focusing all the time.

        Always work, no play – One of the reason.
        Play with kids. Go for outing – One of the solution.
        Enjoy !

    I’m sorry to hear about your headache. Maybe you can find alternative medicine. I have Chinese classmate who’s suffering the same her DR. here suggested acupuncture.There is also acupressure or consult a zone therapist.
    I know how it is when I’m pressured and lack enough sleep then migraine attacks and I’m also sensitve to smokes and certain perfumes.
    Have a nice weekend and get well soon.

      Ana, thanks for the info. I didn’t know acupuncture helps relieve headache. I thought it’s for body pains. But I’m scared of needles so I don’t think I would give it a try. 🙁

    Headaches are bad news. I hope you’re okay now. I was wondering what happened to you since I didn’t see any updates from you for a while …

      Nick, it’s really a pain in my head. I would probable went for a check-up if it didn’t go away after four days. Feeling much better now, back to normal so to speak.

    Oh I really hate headache! I’m lucky I didn’t felt the ache this month before my red day comes. Sometimes dahil yan sa diet natin Len then too much focus. Binantayan ko diet ko kaya nakaiwas ako.

      Oh, Joy, I also have that kind of signal when my red day is coming. But this time’s the opposite and it lasted for days. I see, I’ll try to look on my diet. Baka nga ito ang dahilan.

    I hope you’re feeling better dear. Whenever I have bad headaches I just sit under a warm shower and I would feel better.
