I have a killer headache today. Started last night around 8:00 PM. Trying to figure out what brought it on and if I can prevent them. I walked for an hour yesterday, really bothered my arthitis. I was just wondering if it was the weather since it rained here overnight. I am disfunctional today because of pain in neck and head. Felt so good Wed. and Thurs., better them I have felt in weeks. But it was not raining for the first time in weeks. I have been told that weather-high-lows will trigger flares. I was just curious if anyone else in the midwest is feeling like I am. Only reason I am not in bed is doing laundry. I usually work through my pain but today I am really hurting. Excercise is suppose to help so I hope it wasnt the walk. Take care.

I'm not in the midwest but I have a headache as well. Pressure changes, rain, etc can all trigger mine. Of course I also have sinus and allergy issues, so that doesn't help. Headaches can be the worst, they really can be debilitating. I wish I had some wonderful advice for you, but I haven't found much that helps either.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Sarah, I have been in antibiotic for 8 days for sinus infection. The Dr. said I didnt need a decongestant, just anitibiotic. My headache was better but started again. Its so hard to figure out what causes what pain and what to do to relieve it. Sometimes I just want to take a strong pain pill and not feel pain. I am SOOO tired if trying to feel good. So much expense and stress anf frustration. I am going to go get a decongestant, not sure if it will help. What the heck, its only money. I dont need it for anything other then Drs or meds. Sorry for attitude, Im really hurting today and have so much I want to do. Do your teeth hurt also. I have been meaning to ask my Dr. if my teeth hurting is my arthritis or Fibro. I dont know how to feel better if I am not even sure what is causing it. I seriously  am thinking about a stong pain killer. I have Tramadol and it does absolutely NOTHING for me. I am going to go back on Savella as soon as I get this headache taken care of. Savella causes me to have headaches when I start it so I have to fix this one first. Think Im going to call it a day and go to bed sad I just cant cope today. Thanks for your reply.

I feel for you both.  I have a headache all the time, some times it's worse, but it's never gone.  I wake up with it, I go to bed with it.  For years I have been trying to get the doctors to figure it out.  Seems 75% or so of fibromites have a constant headache, at least I sort of know why now. wink

I hope you all are feeling better today?  Like Deb I have headaches all the time.  It does seem to be much worse when the weather changes drastically now that I think about it.  The location seems to change also, sometimes its in the front and sometimes in the back..its a daily surprise like most of my fibro issues :)  You mentioned a teeth aching issue, that usually occurs for me when its a sinus problem.

Today my tummy finally had a good day, but I have the worst headache.   I am afraid to take anything for it because of how bad my stomach has been.  I have to say though, I didn't have a terrible headache during the tummy problems, but like I said, I always have a headache.

Actually yes, a horrible allergy/sinus headache. Must be all of the pollen/mold/rain. It finally got better this afternoon. whew.

I have chronic sinus issues and allergies. Something that helps me some (every bit is good) is Flonase. It's a nasal spray, so it's kind of a pain to take, but if it helps some I'm all for it! There are several otc options you can try as well.

I have had a headache since at least sat. I was told before that I have migraines, but the meds are not helping. I have had ct scans, and saw a ent when sinuses were thought to be the prob. Nothing. Mine are especially worse in the morning. I have been getting up at 5 or  6 am and taking pain meds. Problem is i can not take strong meds or they make me sleepy. Luckily I do not have to be at work till 2 pm so I can take it easy for awhile till it dies down some. The pain varies but is constant. I thought I was going crazy. Sorry everyone has them, but do not feel quite as alone.

Normal, if your teeth are hurting and you do have a sinus infection the infection can literally pound on the roots of the teeth. I was ready to get teeth pulled at one point but it was a severe sinus infection in that area. Thankfully I still have my teeth
