| Before going to the doctor for a headache? I've had a headache now for 13 days. It starts where the head and neck meet, and then kinda spreads around my head. Feels like a thunderclap, because it's so sudden and sharp. Tylenol doesn't help, and none of my strong painkillers from the surgery even help. I keep putting it off because it's "just a headache", but 13 days seems like a long time to have one. :( |

| Can't you phone your doctor and ask him briefly whether this condition is normal? |

| Perhaps ithas somethign to do with your illness? Or migranes? I would actually go after 5 days or so in your condition tbh. Better safe than sorry. |

I get headaches atleast once or twice a week.
My liver is prob so ty from taking alot of tylenol since I was young. I know if I had a headache for more than a week straight and not just cuz of PMS - I'd go.
Atleast for some relief. |

| I have headaches that last for weeks and start where the head and neck meet once in a while. Then again my neck is in a bad shape anyway due to a couple off unfortunate accidents. If a headache last this long, visiting a doctor is probably a good idea. Could be nothing, maybe you have just been sleeping weirdly for the past couple of weeks and that's the reason why your head aches, but then again why take the chance. |

I don't get "that time of the month" anymore... soooo....
I just feel whiney going in and saying "I have a headache", but it's to the point where my vision is blurry, and I just feel exhausted.
I thought it was sleeping funny too, but then I realized I haven't been... I sleep the same way I always do, no new pillows or anything like that.
I'm debating calling my oncologist and asking if this is normal or I should go to the regular physician. :conf: |
