hi sammy, i am so sorry to hear of you losing your baby to SIDS. i wish you much healing in this area.

my only suggestion would be to make sure your doctor knows about all your symptoms and how miserable you feel. they should be proposing something to make you feel better. if your current doctor can't help, i would suggest finding another who will take your symptoms seriously. no one should have to deal with all the symptoms you have.

i wish you much healing!

Hi Sammy,

Chronic tension can cause headaches that last and last. Also, having the viruses and sinus issues are surely adding to the issue.

Do all that you can to make sure that you are drinking plenty of water, you could be dehydrated from your illness. Also, you will want to keep any remaining mucus draining, and avoid a sinus infection. (which causes horrible headaches)

Next, I would remmend practicing Progressive Muscle Relaxation. Here is a link for intsructions for this exercise, and more stress relieving techniques. Practice these for at least 10 min, 3x a day. It should help.

If you feel like you need further help, you could get a referral to a neurologist, and ask about treatment for your migraines.

I wish you the best. This has been a rough time for you. Please know that we care, and want to see you feeling better. Post anytime.

S.C.

Well yesterday i woke up with a horrible chest infection and cough and runny nose so i don't know if my viral throat infection has spread

Oh no! :(

Could be a secondary infection as a result of the virus.

Perhaps a call into your doctor is in order...definitely if you are feeling weak, have a fever/chills/body aches, ect...

I hope that you can rest and recover (and get medical help if needed) very soon!!

Let us know how you are doing later, okay?

Is that bad then x

A secondary infection can just be a result of a cold...such as an ear infection that comes from congestion in the ear canal. Or a chest or sinus infection (this is just an example...I am not suggesting you have either of these...only your doctor can diagnose you.)

It is not anything to worry about...but it is something to get checked out...in case you need antibiotics, for example.

Just make a call and see if they want you to come in.

You will be fine. This has been a rough cold and flu season for everyone so far!
