Soo Miserable.

Guys, for the past like, week.. I've been
getting the worst headaches on the planet.
&.I have the most unbearable neck
pain. It's getting so bad that it's hard
for me to fall asleep &stay asleep. I
can never get comfortable, either. It's
so frustrating 'cause .I've been so tired
but .I'm in so much pain it's like,
impossible to get a decent night's sleep.
I've been taking tylenol.. But not much,
because .I know tylenol is okay to take
during pregnancy, but .I don't know how
much is considered okay or anything like
that. I've tried drinking a lot of water,
not being around much noise, doing neck
stretches/excersises, using a heating pad
on my neck.. Everything .I can think of!
The neckaches/headaches won't go away!
Does anyone have any suggestions at all?
I am so miserable .I just want to cry.
:(

Oh no .K!!!!!! I'm still going through
that! I usually get 2 or more a day.....
It's crazy!!! Sometimes I let it play out
to see how much I can take, but most of
the time I take the tylenol. It hasn't
been working lately though
arrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!
Have you tried a cold pack?

I think that's the only thing .I haven't
tried.
This is the 4th day that .I've had a
headache.
It never really goes away but sometimes
.I don't notice it as much. I think .I
must either
have a sinus infection or .I'm just dying.
Hahah,
no, but .I don't think .I've ever been so
miserable
in my entire life. It's a little after
9am here,
&.I've been waking up every hour or
two. Last
time .I got up it was about 6:30am. So
that
was the longest .I've slept all night.
It's awful.

Spring and fall bring headaches like no
tommorrow either migraines or sinus
headaches I think they feel about the same
but anyways I thought I was just getting
them through pregnancy.
I find advil worked best but dr told me
not to take it if I dont have too and not
during first trimester but said I could
take it after just dont abuse it, I found
out after advil prolongs a pregnancy and
that I should have only taken it during 2
tri.

i bought mine at shoppers drug mart. It's
just a gel filled thick plastic baggy
thing. You put it in the freezer/fridge
and when it's at the temp you prefer, take
it out and place it on your head. It
helps!

Just to add...
.I'm not sure if you're planning on
breastfeeding or not, .Krissy, but save
those cold packs if you buy them. They
work wonders when your milk comes in.
Engorgement hurts like hell!

I had those for like 2 weeks straight and
nothing worked. I went to the doc and
she said to get physio and they were gone
the next day. Your muscles in you back
and neck change during pregnancy which
create headaches - well this is what they
told me and it worked!!!!!

Try pepermint oil... On your temples and
the base of your neck... It really,
really helps, especially for tension
related pain... Also tiger balm helps for
neck peain.
Good luck!!!

Actually hubby introduced me to this cream
that does wonders for headaches and all
aches/pains its called omega cream and
honestly its a miracle. I have only been
able to buy it at one store down here as
it is imported from the phillipines but if
you can get your hands on it do so!!

Sorry a physiotherapist - it cost me about
$20 (aus dollars) because my private
health care paid for the rest of it - it
was the best thing that I could have spent
my money on!

I hope that works for you - the physio
pretty well released my trigger points and
loosened the muscles around my neck - so
if you know someone who can do that I
would suggest it!

Go to a chyropractor... They will release
muscles in your back and your neck...
They can make headaches go aways, sickness
ect. I would deffinitly go!!! My
chyropractor saves my life I swear!
It should work it you go there. Also
maybe let a fan blow on your face. That
sometimes helps.

Chiropractic care isn't covered on my
insurance anymore, so that's a no-go.
I'm actually supposed to go once a
week because .I have such bad back
problems &stuff, but since our
insurance dropped it, .I can't go. Which
sucks. I'm wondering if a chiropractor
that specializes in pregnant women would
be covered on my medicaid, but .I doubt
it.

I tried a coldpack last night!
I got my box of reese's cookies, my
kiwi-strawberry flavored water, put in
season 5 of .Will &.Grace, put the
coldpack on the back of my head, &laid
in my bed in complete bliss! Lol.
It didn't take the pain away completely,
but it definitely dulled it, &made it
small enough that .I was able to fall
asleep in no time. It was great!
:)
