of a brain bleed or aneurism (sp?)!! My head hurts so bad and yesterday I took an Ibrofphen(sp?) 800 and it took the edge off but, then 3 hours later it was right back to where it was before. Amazingly though, I can sleep and it does not wake me up or anything. I can't understand that. I had my cat scan done on Saturday night and I am still worrying over if they could have missed something on the scan...a tumor, a blood vessell that is fixing to pop at any moment. I thought at first it could be caffiene withdrawal because I stopped drinking the daily mountain dew that I always had to have (BTW, I was drinking mountain dew everyday for about 10 yrs!!! So, that is alot of caffiene!!) Anywho, I had some Pepsi this morning and so far nothing but, I will tell ya that I will be going to the store to buy a mountain dew today!!! I would rather deal with the heartburn than these headaches!! If that is what this is that is causing these headaches. It could also be sinus but, the radiologist did not say anything about my sinus's being infected on the scan all he said was that it was normal!
I know I am driving everyone crazy but, I feel like I am loosing it!!! I don't want to die at this age and I honestly think that is what is going to happen. I want to go running back to the ER and have them look at me again but, my dh is away for the week for work and he said that if I go back to the ER again for something they said I was fine he was finaling for divorce!!! I guess I am ready for the looney bin!!
Hugs to all,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
You are a amazing guy! Did you realize that? Your post was so uplifting to me and I appreciated everything that you have said to me!!! I feel alittle better today. I still have my headache but, I was remembering last year at this time that I had real bad headaches and finally since everything else was ruled out ( by ct scans of course!) I went to the chiropractor and come to find out my back and neck were completely out of whack. When your neck is suppose to have this curve to it....mine is straight as a board so low and be hold my head is putting so much pressure on my neck that it is causing headaches and about a month of going almost everyday (I was really out of whack) my headaches disappeared. So, stupid me stopped going after about two months....and now my headaches are back and also my neck pain. So, I made an appointment for the chiropractor tomorrow afternoon and hopefully will be back to my old self soon. I know that the doctor did not miss nothing on the cat scan....it is just this dang anxiety that is getting the best of me!! I HATE it!!! But, when the pain is that bad....I can't help but, think of the worst! Everyone around me told me that I was ok and that nothing bad was going on but, I just had to go and get checked and thank god that the doctor did the cat scan (even though he did not want too...I had to talk him into it because he said that I was showing no signs of anything wrong in my brain and when he shined the light in my eyes it was fine.....I still don't understand how they can tell by doing that)because if he didn't I probably would have gone back to the ER a dozen times till someone did!! Belive me I want to go back now but, deep down I know there is no reason to.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Hugs,
Jennifer
P.S. Your blinkie says that you love someone with autism...who? (Just tell me that it is none of my business if I am being to nosey!) My 4 yr old son has Autism and ADHD.

allergies are at fault! I recognize certian things that set the
headaches off--- I know HOW YOU FEEL worrying about being seriously
ill.... However- if you had something very serious wouldn't you have
an indication by now??? NOT TO BE RUDE but you have to STOP from
this worry!!! I know you BELIEVE YOU ARE SICK but you have to
come to grips with this worry!! Keep along of what you eat and do
each day and maybe you will see a pattern--- also might be STRESS???
TAKE CARE!!! Judy
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so, so much for saying, "You are an amazing guy! Did you realize that?" That makes me feel as if I am fulfilling a promise.
Yes, caffeine withdrawal DOES cause headaches so you should probably wean yourself off the stuff gradually.
But right now at least where I live (MD) allergy season is in full swing. Pollen count on Monday was over 2000! I was suffering from bad sinus headaches so that is another thing to keep in mind.
I hope you feel better and remember - wean yourself gradually.
