well great to see everyone here today. to day is day tweelveand man its been a long road. but i have had a splitting headache since yesterday i have taking all kinds of otc pain relief where is the relief. i have a history of migraine headaches and i think this is progressing into i cant take that it is terribble but then i have been doing so good i hate to call a friend i am scared i will have the w/d if i do any help plz! plus my clean time damnit!
I feel ya hun, i had a major headache, and do get migraines, thank goodness my hun has Oxygen here at the house for his migraines..cuz i just lay down, put the mask on and chill with the blinds closed and relax............I also took aleve and it helps.hang in there.if I made it to day 18 you can make it beyond day 12..........it does get better
Taking too many OTC's can cause a bounce back headache. Try a dark room and quiet. You're body is screaming for the drugs right now and trying to do whatever it can to get you to use. You can do this....do you have a support system at home? Anyone you can talk to? I found that when I got to the point of wanting to give up, I called someone and they could talk me through it.
Keep posting here...it helps.

I've always laid down with my head on an icebag in the pillow...that and ibuprofen or tylenol...sometimes, i will put one on the back of my neck and one on my forehead...
hope your headache gets better
hope your headache gets better
man trying really hard to not thing about it but it hurts like hell. bad thing about this whole situation is my wife is at work and i have my 19 mon. old that has more energy than a power plant im giving it time i just took some bc powder maybe that will help. laying down isnt an option for me. it will go away. thanks for the support.
You're right, it will go away. Having the baby is got to be tough, but maybe it will help keep your mind off things. You don't have the option of laying down and dying..that baby needs you.
They make those cold patches that you can stick to your head...I tried one once and although it's not as much fun as drugs..it worked really well.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I have a screaming headache too right now - I can make ONE quick call - but I won't if you won't. Take everyones advice above, and relax. Don't do it. God I know how you feel, I love this message board. Can we hang in there...
Yes you can Skeeter....can you call someone and talk about it?
You sound strong...that's half the battle. You can do this.

Hang tight.... this too shall pass... promise :)
this is freaky . . . i have never get headaches but i have had one trying to develop for 2 days. i refuse to sucumb lol. at times my body behaves like a spoiled child, pulling out all the stops, trying all the tricks in the form of sickness or pain, because that has always caused me to give up and use in the past. not this time
I feel that....today my body hurts cuz i have done more today then I have since starting my wd.......ok so I learned to take it a little slower...cuz I know I won't call my doc, ned to figure others way to deal with the pain
Have you tried excedrin migraine relief.. It may help .. I also know that immetrix <sp> is good but have to have a script for that... some say that eating chocolate helps.. I hope you feel better soon..
