Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

I've never had a headache, but I fell on my head when I was super skinny.

I know a guy who says he's never had a headache. He tells me when people talk about headaches he can't fathom what they mean.

I used to think it was okay to have dark hair. However, I lost hope when all the dark people favored the fair people over me, so I don't care about dark people like that anymore.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

She's talking about a headache so bad that your hair hurts. What's a matter, don't you speak English?

"What's a matter" is shit grammatically. 2nd graders speak better.

P.S. - She's not going to send you nudes, so you've been wasting your time kissing her butt.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

I was a journalism major, pinhead. It's grammatically correct. I'm asking him what is the matter at hand since her post makes perfect sense. Is it easier for you if I write an entire sentence to ask what can simply be asked with three words?

LMAO @ the "I was a journalism major, pinhead" - suuuuuuuuuuure

Why do you have all those colors for your username? Can you answer that?

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

Instead of throwing insults, pinhead, why don't you explain to me how the phrase "what's a matter?" is grammatically incorrect?

Or PM me if you're too shy to do so on the board. Oh, that's right, you're not permitted to send PM's! How did that happen, pervert?

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

Christina we aren’t allowed to refer to them as darkies anymore.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

I have both.

They can rot in Hell. People also confuse migraines and headaches and they're soooo not the same thing. Chronic insomnia blows donkey balls.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

I used to get migraines about once every month or 2 as a kid.

Looking at something bright would always set it off - particularly the sun, car headlights etc. First my vision would disappear, then I would feel like a knife was being shoved in my skull. I’d often vomit violently as well.

They stopped and randomly came back a couple of years ago. They were happening regularly and I got prescribed triptans. The doc suggested beta blockers, but they ruin your ability to do exercise. If I get a migraine I just go to bed for the rest of the day.

It’s been the best part of a year since I had one luckily .

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

You know what’s a good cure for migraines? Lots of alcohol!

I was watching The Punisher on Netflix last year and I’d been planning to have a few drinks later. I think something bright came on and a migraine ensued.

I proceeded to ply myself with alcohol. I felt amazing.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

I'd be terrified to make it worse, although it is a great painkiller in general.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

Ohhh, I hate to admit this, but I've thrown up at the pharmacists before while waiting for my migraine meds. When the pain gets so bad you're essentially blind and every time you move, your head pounds and throbs, it's dreadful. Vomiting happens I'd say not all the time, but most of the time.

I highly recommend caffeine. Black coffee, NO MILK NO SUGAR (that's important)!

Also, Compazine works well for the nausea. It's often prescribed to pregnant mothers who have morning sickness, so it's extremely safe. We don't need "antacids" or "Pepto" we need something far more specific.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

Back pain, and menstrual cramps are right up there on that list.

I don't know Anna, backache can be extremely debilitating.
A chef at my old place was on so much medication, one of which severely compromised his immune system.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

I just think it's difficult to compare one pain to another and say it's not as bad.
Everyone experiences pain differently, some have a low threshold and others are stoical.
Some have chronic pain for some it's intermittent.
I dunno, I just wouldn't rule out any pain as being worse than another.
Cramps and childbirth are definitely up there!

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

Valerian herbal supplements are probably the best thing you can take for insomnia if you're not willing to change some of the bad habits that are keeping you from sleeping.

But here are the other ways to go about it:

https://www.onemedical.com/blog/get-well/how-to-relieve-insomnia-without-medication-part-1


You basically need some breathing exercises…and try to turn your brain off for awhile.

Christina is showing you how to do just that in this thread ; )

Do some exercises, get in touch with nature…go outside for awhile and just listen to natural sounds.

Do stuff that'll take your mind off other things and just try to relax




























Have someone give you a massage
Cuddle with someone you really like or cuddle your pillow and pretend you're with someone you really like.

Are you okay?

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

I used to deal with both of these maladies throughout high school and college. Thankfully, the chronic migraines finally went away, and the insomnia (although still present) only bothers me on occasion.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

I'm prescribed 3mg of xanax, which I take every night at 7:30pm, but I still can't sleep. These migraines are killing me - especially when I've had one for 5 weeks, minus 4 days (July 1-4). Its so bad I wonder if I'll ever be myself again.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

Are you still going through them? I get them on a regular basis. As in several a month. Headaches I can deal with by popping a few Tylenol. Migraines are another beast. The aura, sensitivity to light and sound, even touch. Everything hurts. The vomiting (which makes it worse). I'm surprised the 3mg of Xanax doesn't help you at least get to sleep. Have you considered Ambien or something like that?

I get the migraines that feel like an ice pick going through the top left side of my skull and are piercing through my left eye, and then I can't see out of that eye.

There are medications for migraines like Fioricet, but they worry about rebounds. But what causes rebounds is just if you take it too much.

Try Excedrin: Tylenol/Aspirin/Caffeine. The Caffeine is really important, as it's a vasoconstrictor.

I can't do beta blockers for the same reason. I can't move. My body still feels every single thing but my entire body feels like it weighs like 300 pounds of cement and I just move. Dreadful. Never again.

There's also a brand new once a month injectable that you give yourself (it's easy) that offer 30 days worth of relief, called Aimovig.

Depends if your migraines are caused from diet. If you drink alcohol, eat inflammatory foods like sugar, or foods with amines such as chocolate, tuna, peanut butter,…you're slowly building up triggers to start a migraine.

You can also get Botox injections for migraines. It's a series of roughly 32 injections and it lasts 10-12 weeks on average but some claim it can last even longer.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

Oh gawd, last night. I was not a happy camper last night. And what made it harder was my doggo was sleeping under the dresser. I've noticed when he sleeps with me, it calms me down soooo much. It's like he has a magical effect on me and I can relax.

Finally got sleep. Doggo woke me up at 4am, took him out, he just stood there. Turns out he just wanted breakfast (which was last night's dinner because he hasn't been eating either). So I finally got some shuteye this morning

Thank you! ❤

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

I have fioricet, but I hate the caffeine, so I avoid it. Prescription painkillers help a bit, but like you said, if you take more than the recommended dosage - rebound headaches. I think what helped a little was the Sinus pills.

I don't drink alcohol, and if anything, I've improved my diet. I used to drink 3 cans of Dr. Pepper every day, but quit towards the end of last year. I quit eating Snickers ice cream bars, and I quit eating hershey's bars a few months ago.

The pain is worst at night when I lay my head down. I've never been able to sleep on my left side or stomach (can't breathe) and always try to sleep on my right side. But because of the pain, I tried sleeping on my back for a bit. Two nights ago, I almost choked to death on my vomit. I think I was pounding on my walls, even though I live alone, but couldn't breathe.

In the last few months, I've noticed when I play drums, or work in the studio (wearing headphones) will hurt, but I got called last night for a job, where I took this guys' demo and sent it back with all the instruments, but will have to abstain from a huge part of my life. I've been wearing ear protection for about 15 years.

I do eat cheap food, and I don't exercise, so I shouldn't expect being healthy, but this is too much. At times, I make silly errors, or feel confused, dizzy, blood pressure up, but I'm one of those who'd rather suffer than visit a doctor (for many reasons - I hate the entire system, waiting, doctors, attitudes, class discrimination, etc).. I was hoping I wouldn't wake up today, but eventually, something is going to happen. I even cut the grass this morning hoping I'd get (another) heart-attack.

I think the worst headache I ever had were post-orgasmic ones. They would last for almost a week straight.. And they felt like bigger knives inside my head.

Re: Insomnia and Headaches are worse than death

Take this with a grain of salt, because as you know, I'm not a doctor, but when is the last time you had a cardiac workup?

When you mentioned that you cannot lay on your left side…that's not a good thing.

I know you don't like going to doctors for many reasons, but laying on the left side does something laying on the right doesn't.

I'm just some random on a forum, but I'd consider getting a cardiac workup.
