Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I am sensitive to a good many chemicals now that you mention it. I cleaned the oven Monday. I woke that day with a headache and Tues. and today. The oven cleaner nearly killed me. Could be that. I have alot of allergy stuff too including major congestion. One doc told me that if I took decongestants and it didn't get rid of the headache then it was not sinus related. So I guess it could be hard to determine what they are from - I just need them to go away permanently. Deb Re: About headaches & body aches & fevers >> I have had headaches for as long back as I can remember. Deb<< Have you ever considered these could be from chemical sensitivities? Most my headaches are from that or sinus. Now the sinus is MUCH better than it used to be when I was hypo, but not gone and I doubt mine ever will be due to the insecticide poisoning I had. If you get curious look up Multiple Chemical Sensitivities on Google. It is becoming very common and has it's own set of symptoms but headaches are a huge part of it. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Deb, Headaches have a source. What I mean by this is there is a cause to the headache. I had migraines for 2 yrs and the doc had me on narcotics during the entire time. I found out later that I had a bone spur in my nose pressing on a nerve causing the migraines. After I had nasal surgery, I have never had them again. I did have headaches very often before getting adrenal treatment. Just a regular headache though...not migraines. I kept a chart with my temp and symptoms for about 6 months and gave them to the doctor each visit. You could see a pattern on the temp chart where I had very eradict temps. This indicates adrenal problems. Along with that and the symptoms the doctor recognized it and put me on treatment. The headaches are now gone. Hope this information helps!
