Being cold/SED rate/Migraines?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I just went to see my dr. about being cold all of the time and getting

" icepick " migraine headaches. My face and head constantly have this cold

pain in my bones. She took a blood test and said my SED rate is high.

She gave me some medicine to see if it takes down some of the

inflammation and will do an arthritis profile on tues. She wants me to

see a neurologist. These headaches are practically daily for the last

couple of months. Anyone else have any experience with this?

I am 35 years old and had my surgery 5/15/01. Lost 130 so far.

Thanks!

a,

I wonder if you need glasses? It's a fact of life, that as we near 40, our

eyes begin to degenerate. Having had WLS, I have no idea if it could

possibly happen sooner or not. I am 37 and began to have problems with

really bad headaches in my forehead at about 34. They were pretty extreme.

At 35, I finally broke down and went to an eye doctor. I had been taking so

much Tylenol. Yes, I needed reading glasses. Now I need to go again because

I feel like I may need stronger ones. You can buy reading glasses over the

counter but I prefer to know exactly what my sight is. After the fact, I

began taking Beta Catroten hoping to improve my sight.

Being cold is something many of us deal with. I have no real explaination

but I do have a theory. If my iron or B-12 is down, I seem to be cold no

matter what.

I know nothing about arthritis.

All the other symptoms aside, do you use a lot of Equal (aspartame) products

like diet soda? That could lead to the headaches, as some people have that

reaction. The other symptoms sound more serious, but likely treatable, along

the lines of fibromyalgia or such, which means that a neurologist is a good

idea. If he doesn't give you any relief, ask for a rheumatologist.
