Thank you everyone for your advice and support!
It's 8:00 am Monday morning, and this is my 7th consecutive headache day! Maybe I am dreaming, but i actually imagine myself waking up and NOT having a headache. What would that be like?
I was reading more of the web-site, and I am never wakened up in the middle of the night by a headache. IF I wake up to use the ladies room, by the time I walk to the bathroom, the headache is back. Can't I get a minute of relief?
Also, I feel a tightening on my left side (around my eye and temple), as if I am squinting. Every so often, I stop myself and try and relax my face muscles.
I am going to make an appt with a new primary this week. Since I have an HMO (hell, huh?) I can't go directly to a neuro. I can't continue to live like this, I won't!!!
Sorry for going on and on, but when I talk to my husband or mom about this problem, they are very understanding, but they just don't really understand how bad it is. Sometimes I just lay on the couch rolling around and holding my head.
I blame myself. I know it's dumd, but if switiching the pill caused these headaches?!
Until I get my hands on something better, and refuse to take addictive pain killers, I'm going to take tylenol every 4 hrs.
Thanks again and I will be reading this website regulary for all the info I can get!
