What else can I take?
I've been having constant headaches. They last around 3/4 days. Its the 11th today and I've just started with my second headache since Jan 1st. I end up getting very tired and very dizzy when I have them.
I'm currently taking paracetamol (1g) and Ibuprofen (600mg) a couple of times a day... well basically the maximum I can take when I have them. And really doesn't do very much. I still have them. I've tried several homopathic remedies and other things that are natural remedies and well they are just poop...
The pain will wake me up from sleep and in general makes it almost impossible to function... I suppose they are migraines rather than headaches, but usually migraine sufferers paint a far worse picture about their symptoms than I seem to be suffering.
I've been to my doctor about it but he refuses point blank to treat me unless I quit bfing. I have complained but nothing will happen and its going to take at least 6 months before I get to move doctors (bloody Spanish paperwork)
So what can I take in the mean time? Lil miss will go 8 hours between feed, but I do express in that time.. If I wait to change my GP and I'm having 3 4 day headaches a month that means I'll spend 72 days popping pills and being in pain That can't be good

Re: What else can I take?
I'm just wondering... are those tension headaches... did you have your eyes tested recenlty?
Cocodamol should be ok, esp considering your gilr is almost 1 year old! you can get it over the counter at pharmacy here, not sure how in Spain, but should you want some I could post it to you... its paracetamol and codeine.
Accupuncture and massage highly reccomended!
:aww:

Re: What else can I take?
OOoo I forgot to say I got my eyes tested last week... I thought it might be my eyes too as I often get blurred vision during a headache, but no they are totally fine..
I got a massage for my Christmas box, had that on Friday, and had the start of another headache last night, but I do have terrible muscle problems in my neck and back, so maybe its purely down to that..
But at least I know I can take cocodemol...I'm definitely going to try that Thank you...

Codeine is fine... I take it (get on prescription) from my docs.
Try applying vapour rub on your temples as well, that helps too!

Tell us about yourself : People who have kids by more than 3 different men are SLAGS. They don't give a shit about the welfare of their children, otherwise they would be keeping their bloody legs shut and creating a STABLE environment for their kids, either in a stable relationship or as a single mother - because single mothers are perfectly capable of being fantastic parents. If you want to sleep around use some fucking contraception until you are sure your partner is in it for the long haul, it is not fucking difficult. Kids need stability - they don't need a succession of men coming in and out of their life.
