Getting headaches?????????

[janelle]

Evening Ladies, hope all is well with you all. I have had many things going on lately & unable to dress, ok i do wear my panties, but you know what i mean. Anyways i have strated getting headaches when i feel i need to dress & can't. Is this normal? Do i have some kind of another health issue? Do any of you go thru the same thing?
If you saw the movie "Normal", its kind of like that with my headaches. Sometimes just getting my perfume out & smelling it helps.
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, but what do you girls have to say?
Thank you for your time dears.
:hugs: , Janelle

My head throbs all the time! Maybe it's that I can't dress or the tumor!
Um Take to Bra's and dress in the morning.

Well speaking for my hubby (Trisha) she feels the weight of the world off her shoulders when she can dress....and look out when she cant.!!!! I do believe it has to do with stress. Perhaps your blood pressure reacts higher when you want to dress but cant, headaches go hand in hand with high blood pressure.
Hope you feel better.

Can't say I've experienced anything like that related to CDing but it sounds like it's simply a case of just general stress/worry/etc and this, from my experience, can give you all sorts of symptoms.

Easy to say I suppose but you need to try and relax a bit and maybe find something you can focus on to relieve the longing. Maybe if you can do something simple (maybe like smelling your perfume) at the beginning of the day? I guess those sort of headaches kinda hang around once they've started.

Hope your headaches get better soon ... and that you get to dress up soon as well :)

I agree, I had that problem a few years ago. Once I got my BP under control with Meds I don't get headaches any more. Ericka

Morning Ladies, thanks for your replys, but i have had my blood pressure checked as that was my first thought also. The Dr. says its great 125/70. So that is why i asked. I guess it could be stress because i am more at peace with the world when dressed than not,really makes me think i should have been born a woman.
Thanks again & i guess i'll keep looking for answers. Take care your all beautiful.

I actually suffer from migraines and stress headaches quite often as a result of the lifestyle that I live and the fact that I am a business owner trying to work a full time job and get my business going at the same time and manage to spend time with my wife and two kids at the same time. I know that the migraines come from my mom’s side of the family. The fact that in internalize most of my stress I believe comes from the fact that I spent 30+ yrs trying to be someone that I am not just to make those around me happy. But, about 6 months ago I started on an anti-depressant and I have not had any really bad headaches since then. I also noticed prior to starting on my new med that when I did get to spend some time dressed I could stave off the headaches a little longer between them. But, in all I think it has more to do with the actual stress level in my life than anything else. Of course I have also noticed that when I eat chocolate often I tend to have fewer headaches as well, not that it has any medicinal properties that I am aware of but the fact is that I love chocolate and while I am eating it I tend to relax for a few minutes which contributes to the easing of my stress level. Overall I would have to say that stress is probably the biggest reason for my headaches and it sounds like it may be yours as well.

Hope this helps

Anxiety, you got a disire that is giving you these head aces, that will be fifty dollars please, I only take cash.

Yes, have had that before, a long time ago. In High School! Was part time dressing, getting ready to graduate, and having wild sex with the girlfriend out on the back country roads. The stress of it all go so bad that when ever I thought about dressing or having sex with the GF, my head would split wide open. Went to the local doctor, not telling him the whole story...hehehe, and he said it was the tension of graduation and everything! And sure enough, after graduation the headaches went away. Have had them a few times over the last 30 years, but I at least I know why. So if your having multiple stressful things going on, drop everything.......except you fem clothes, of coarse!!

Love Karren

Two things ladies...

#1 Just what, not why: I just heard Paul Harvey site a study of those who suffer migraines, and it found a 20% higher sex drive in those persons.

#2. I suffer from cluster headaches. Sometimes clusters of 40-100 over months, sometimes a single episode, sometimes even while dressed enfemme. Headaches are no laughing matter, regardless of the cause.

I've had them for years but they got worse fifteen years ago nothing the MD has done helped. The onset sometimes makes me just wince bow my head and close my eyes. No CD makes no difference I'm just the stressed out type.:o

Sex relieves stress too. In fact, if it doesn't already rank above chocolate, it should!

Thanks girls.

I've suffered with migraine attacks all my life and they have recently been getting more frequent and intense. I'm not sure if it is stress related or what but an attack will generally last for 12-24 hours and during that time I will be unable to function much at all. I just lie in a darkened room and occasionally vomit with pain.

My GP prescribed sumatriptan succinate tablets and I got my first batch this morning. Apparently, they work by reducing the swelling in certain blood vessels in the head that are thought to cause the attacks. Will be interesting to see if they are effective 0.02

Stress Headaches, also known as Anxiety Headaches are caused by the adjective describing them.
They are not Migraine headaches per se, as per Lilith.
They are felt as an pain/ache, severe in some cases, generally across the brow over/behind the eyes. Not at one side of the head and certainly not at the back.
Generally they are the effect of distended blood vessels and nothing whatever to do with blood pressure.

Some time ago doc said that my pressure was high, it now runs 135/plus/minus 5/70, depending on activity. (Values increase with age and non-activity)
From curiosity, I bought a BP meter and I find no relationship to aches/BP.

Relief is obtained from the use of a cold, thick, wet cloth over the eyes and forehead. Dark also helps and bed is the best place, with the pillow almost under the neck. Lie relaxed with the legs straight and your arms at your sides, not touching your body.
Think of something good and continuous, like a well known favourite journey.

Origins for me : work related stress, bags of severe aches - i ended up jacking in my job because of that.
I still have rather bad work related dreams, usually followed by headaches.
Doc prescribed Migril (prescription only as they can have side effects, including great listlessness, diuretic effect etc all of which wear off within a few hours.
If really bad then a mild sedative, or for me in the early days, a sleeping pill at low doseage was prescribed.

The Migril worked and still work with a dose 0.25 orig size, and no sedative.
There you are, all you need to know, except perhaps that sex anticipation has no effect, but dress buying trips sometimes do for me at least.
