Well no head aches so far today stayed away from the family, hope to go back to work next week, thanks for all your support and gezzabelle i have a car remember i can come to you LOL.

Great to hear no headaches so far...stay calm and avoid the obvious stress triggers Maybe going back to work will be a good thing and get you away from some of the issues that could be triggering headaches. Could be the issues you have with various family cause the initial problems and then not having much in the way of support with your diabetes leaves you feeling a little alone with it all which is all counter productive and leads to anxiety and stress. I'll put the kettle on in case you're passing lol Keep your chin up and with a little help you will get through this

Hi all went back to see the doctor yesterday afternoon, she was not happy about the head aches and packed me off to hospital.
After a full work out i was told they are tension head aches caused by stress which i can understand, they are going to recommend to my doctor i go for counselling which i may take up the offer because when you have a wife who won`t talk about my diabetes in any way shape or form, the two eldest grand kids who are at each others throats 24/7,a son who owes me money and makes every excuse not to pay it back and a daughter who told me "you don`t do any thing for this family" because i would not fill in some forms for her the minute i got out of bed.

Any way i thank you all for reading my sorry story this forum has been my only outlet and i`m glad i found all you lovely people and will meet some of you in london on the 27th and will continue to contribute where i can.

And if any one want to adopt a 61 year old who is good at DIY and has his own car.

I'm not surprised you're stressed out. They say you can choose your friends but not your family. I hope you find the counselling useful, sometimes it helps just to sound off at someone and to get some feedback. Hope it all works out.

Yea feeling great tonight just see what tomorrow brings and thanks for all the support from every one and especially you Gezzabelle.[/QUOTEYou're very welcome....I know how it feels to have similar issues and feel alone with it. A good nights sleep will make you feel even better. Try not to think about headaches....stress is the last thing you need right now. You will wake up refreshed and with some sense of relief I would hope. Do you still have to have the CT scan? It certainly sounds like it isn't the cluster headaches....I had a feeling it might not be when I looked it on Google. Just very relieved to know it can be fixed without the awful stuff that you had in prospect if it had been them. I think being diagnosed as diabetic probably made everything else seem much worse and hopefully now things will get easier. Just remember....you are never alone....always here if you need a chat or to offload. x

 

[oldman1954]

Don`t know about ct scan,going back to the docs next thursday to get blood results will ask then if not heard any thing. x

Just wondering...are you still on that Atorvastatin?...it's for cholesterol isn't it?...a statin?....I just looked up side effects and a lot are very similar to the pain and headaches you have had. I checked back on your previous posts out of curiosity cos I couldn't remember if you are on meds for the diabetes...noticed you had been put on Atorvastatin and that you actually commented that you were on it and were waking up with headaches.....made me wonder if it could be contributing to it all as the headaches started after you got put on it and 1 in10 get headaches, stomach pain and lots of other side effects

Oki dokie....was just wondering.....you can tell me to shush up if you want to lol.....just being thorough and looking for clues to what could be making your head hurt apart from stress. That rules any medication out then which has to be good And btw....you should be tucked up in bed getting a good nights rest
