a small loss. I know I haven't been here but it is because I have not been feeling well. I have a terrible headache all the time. I thought it was a sinus headache and called my doctor for advice on what to take, she told me of an over the counter medication that would help get rid of a sinus headache. I then called a week later because it didn't have any effect. At my appointment she gave me an antibiotic to take for ten days (I am on day 5 now) and some 800 mg Ibprufin (sp?) to take. It has had no effect. The thing that has me very depressed and a little fearful is that she said the headache is not in the typical areas for sinus. I have pain around my entire head and it is worse at the very back of my head, near the spine area. Now what worries me is that she said I had a head scan a year ago for this sinus headache I had last year AND deviated septum (broken nose in my language) which I am to have surgery for this winter to help me breath better. Now doc want a new scan of my brain if the antibiotics don't work... WHY??! I am so afraid of them looking into my brain over these headaches. My mind goes immediately to a tumor or cancer. Cancer is huge in my family, we already know we have the gene that makes us more likely to get it, it hasn't escaped hardly anyone in our family and I am already a cancer survivor. I have survived a long time but now I am worried. I do not want a brain scan! It's just too scarey to think about. If I'm not better in the next 5 days I have to take this antibiotic I have to go get it done. So far at day 5 the pills have had no effect at all. My husband has been helping with fixing meals so my diet hasn't been as good as it would have been if these headaches weren't so bad that they put me down and out. I have to see what the next 5 days will bring. I quit exercising also, because it hurts my head.
I hope all of you have done better, I will go look at your journals now. Keep up the good work, I know that night time snacking is our worst enemy. I have to eat with my pills so I eating cottage cheese but its at night. hang in there.
