What is up with my head???

[anjel75]

I knew I could find some of you still up or early risers. I can ALWAYS count on this place to find friends. Anyhow, I am truly off subject, but no one answers but yall and you guys coulc get together and write a book and I guarauntee, best seller. Well, maybe not. Some are ashamed. The first reason for ever posting in here was to question if I had a Hydro problem and got very quick returns and great info. Someone came into my work and stole money from my purse and stole a bunch of pills. Hydros, Klonopin, Adderall just to name a few, but not the whole bottle. I noticed the money missing right away because that is the first thing you look at. My mum in law had sent $30 to me for a gift for my daughter, she lives in the sticks of Virginia and doesn't have access to things I do". She didn't even use a money order even though I tell her how unsafe that can be. But I remember she sent 2 $10's and 2 $5's.She is odd about the way she sends money. Tucked in my wallet and never though twice. The person who stole my stuff took $25 of it and left a five. I know I did not spend it because all of money is on cards these days, and I never have paper money anymore. I thought, that is crazy! Who would do that? I work for a small office and we are all friends so they know what I take and if they need anyting, they know all they have to do is ask. Well, they hit someone else's too, which made me fill bad for her but better because at that point I could quit questioning myself. I know this is long but I DO have a point! Point being, I have been without my hydros for 4-5 weeks now, my Klonopin was switched back to Xanax, thank God, and I just wouldn't take my Adderall onthe weekends so I would have enough for week days when I do need them to work. My boss should have done something when finding out about this but she is new into this position and she don't want the rest of our offices know that this happened at our office, so no report, no nothing. OK. I feel her pain. OK, question, I have been having a constant headache for oh, way before the pills ran out and it isn't going away. I am harming myself everyday because I pop 2 Goody powders at work and I am allergic to NSAIDS, not to mention I am eating up my tummy. I thought sinus infection. Took two rounds of antibiotics, never touched it. My face doesn't feel all stuffy like when you have a sinus infection, but I was willing to go down all avenues.It can't be WD's because those would have been long gone. The only othe symptom that comes with it, freezing feet. My feet are never warm unless I am in the bed. Once I get out, it is on with them feet and that head. I used to get tension headaches which is the reasoning behind the Xanax and they are WELL controlled. These I have never experienced. My forehead hurts, and one temple or the other and sometimes both. I used to could take 2 excedrin Migraineand 2 Benedryl before going to bed and I was fine the next morning for a typical headache that everyone gets from time to time. OK, that isn't working. What could be going on?

This is not helpful to your question Im afraid, but I just have to ask after reading you intial post... is the same doctor who prescribed the pain medicines, the same one who prescribed the Adderall? I ask because it seems contradictory to prescribe an amphetamine which can cause physical discomfort, raise blood pressure, and stimulate the body, at the same time as giving a pain medication that lowers bp, helps with pain and sedates the body. Uppers and downers issue ,, which is risky for even those in excellent health. I know in some situations where pain pills are overly sedating though and alertness is required such as to work, that this is done... but I wonder what sort of long term problems this can cause particularly with the digestive system and liver. How long have you had to this regiment and is your doctor hoping to be able to wean you off them in the future?

Oh no,I am clean as a whistle. Meds were stolen and without my boss reporting, I didn't have police report so I decided it was time for a drug holiday anyway. They were stole in December. I said that it was 3-4 weeks, but now, I am thinking more like a month and a half. I have it for at least 5 weeks. It will dull, but it will be back soon and I know it! Back pain was the reason I am in Pain Management, so yes to the back question. Under the cover, they warm up and that is the only place. I had gestational diabetes 2 years ago when I was preggers. 200 lbs when I got pregnant, gained to 216, found out I have gestatinal and sat with a nutitionist and changed my whole eating habits and once it was ok for me to exercize,  I was walking 30-45 minutes EVERYDAY. I am sitting here now at 125lbs, because my doc said that if I didn't take off the weight, I would end up with Type II.

Also, I have been to my doc several times and we can't get it figured out.

So. exactly how long have you had this headache? And the freezing feet?
Are you having any back pain?
So, when your feet are up and under covers? their ok?
The feet sound like circulation problem.(but I'm no Doctor)  Do you have diabeties?
Are you clean now or tappering?

Good Morning!

I don't think anyone is going to able to tell you why you have a headache. All I can suggest is to go to the doctor. I always suggest that people get a good check up after they come off of drugs. We do a lot of damage to our bodies so it is a good idea to get looked at.

Hope you feel better soon.
