Ok, I know I already posted something today, but I just need to vent. So, I've had headaches off and on (mostly on) for the past two and a half weeks! I'm miserable. No matter what I do, no matter what I try....a dull aching is constantly in my poor head. I get home in the evenings after barely making it through the day at work (definitely not working to my full potential due to my debilitating medical issue) and I just can't muster up enough oomph to do anything but lay around. I totally hate it! I mean, I just made it to my second trimester, I should be feeling better, up and at 'em, running around, all of that, you know? But nnnoooooo....I still feel like SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excuse the language, but I'm not a happy camper.
Ok, so I finally broke down and called my doctor's office and spoke to a nurse today. She told me to go see my general practitioner....I don't have a GP! I only go to the female doctor, really. Plus, I have an OB visit on Monday, so I hate to have to pay all of these co-pays! I told her that and all she could say was that if the headaches get worse, to call again. THEY ARE WORSE, HO BAG! I've waited two and a half weeks to call, dont' you think I might be at the end of my rope at this point!?! So, yeah, I get to suffer through another week of these headaches. Hopefully my OB (who was not available for the nurse to speak with--she spoke with another Dr. in the practice) will give me the good stuff when I go in on Monday. I just don't know how much more of this crap I can take. It's a constant ache in my head no matter what I do....no matter how much sleep I get, no matter how much water I drink, no matter if I drink a bit of caffeine or not....NOTHING HELPS!!!! I'm assuming it's just the hormones circulating in my body--I hear they can cause headaches like this.
Ok, that's all....I'm a woman pushed beyond her pain threshold, so please watch out! Luckily I did not drive to work today (I carpool and today was not my driving day) or else the roads of Austin would not be safe!!!!!

Oy...that sucs! Hopefully when you see your OB she can help you and let you take something stronger. :( Hang in there stinky!
I'm sorry you head is hurting. That is no fun!!! Hang in there a bit longer & maybe the OB can help you. It sucks when you can't take any meds!! On a brighter note, your Dad seems real excited about his new job. Yea for Grampy!!
:( I'm sorry about the headaches chica! I hope your dr can help out and you'll feel much better soon!
Sorry you have these headaches...seriously if laying down helps especially after working all day do it!! :)
I have a few suggestions, you might know, but if not I hope I can help you feel better. One is to make sure to drink plenty of water...it helps circulation I think so it will make sure the headaches aren't from that (like deydration??) and my favorite, have you ever got the relaxing or calming lotion from Bath & Body...it is speariment scent lotion you rub on your temples & wrists and it helps, really it does!!! :) Hope one of my ideas helps :):)
My friend Laura had horrible head aches while she was pregnant and they DO have better meds for pregnant women- so I'm sure you'll get some when you go. Hope you feel better soon!
Hope you feel better soon! Hang in there!
Poor thing! That sounds awful to have to deal with!!!...and the biotch on the phone (when you called her HO BAG I almost fell off the chair laughing) probably only made it worse by stressing you out. :(
