Relieved to hear that you have called someone who can give you medical answers and I am sure they will get back to you soon. It's scary when you don't know what's going on. I don't feel too good myself this morning but am sure it will pass. Not sleeping too well didn't help...so humid last night. Let us know whats going on as soon as you can and please try not to worry x

It's probably the pain making your BG go up so don't panic ....am sure the doctor will have some answers...and stop flapping...I am not going to ;fall ill'...fit as a flea me ...just going to PC World to get a new keyboard for my laptop...catch up when I get back. x...in the meantime...chillax and stop worrying ...your levels are back where they should be now
 
Well that was a total and utter waste of time and petrol.Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh all i got about my headache was "take two pain killers three times a day"
What she did bang on about was my diabetes "you don`t need to test after meals only befor" yes i do "you need to eat more high carb foods" no i don`t "if your key tones were high i would send you straight to hospital" er hello you didn`t even test them
i just gave up after that will tough it out till i see my doctor on thursday for my blood test results.
 
they always advise the wrong food for us...when are they ever going to catch up with the new thinking and what actually works? I hope the headaches have eased off a little now
 
You could have told her that taking painkillers on a regular basis for headaches can cause the headaches. It's like a sort of blow back effect, you take the pills, then you get another headache.
 
Hi hope you are feeling better. My father wears the mask every night and the watering eye is just a side effect of it. He has it every morning. Just to let you know that it isn't a new thing starting
 
my eyes always watering ...a little wind and they start running

I used to get cluster headaches, and series of brief but agonising one-sided headaches together with watery eye are classic signs. As far as I know there is no specific diagnostic test for cluster headache, but it sound to me far more likely that "stress", which sadly is often medspeak for "can't be bothered to look further than standard bloods". Looking at the NHS website (I can't see how to do a link on the new-look website, but here's the url: http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cluster-headaches/Pages/Introduction.aspx ) these are indeed the classic signs. Also cluster headaches are more common in men that women and in smokers than non-smokers. Triptans seem to be the current preferred treatment in the UK, though in the US I read it's Verapamil. I myself found sumatriptan didn't help against cluster headaches, though it did against migraine, and that the best thing was an NSAID such as ibuprofen or naproxyn.

I too find my family gets in my face a bit, especially when I have things on my mind. I usually take myself away from the nuisance - gardening, a walk on the forest, a visit to the library, an "essential" drive to run an errand in a distant town.

I get my sleep test results tomorrow may be that will give an indication if not its back to the docs.
 
Well here we go again had a good lay in this morning no problems, went to see the grand kids, called in at sainsburys on the way got out of the car and the head ache hit me couldn`t even remember what i went there for got to daughters checked bg 7.5, blood presssure fine starting to ease now.
 
It's crazy....there doesn't seem to be any pattern to them and they hit you so fast. What did you have for breakfast?...I know you usually have oats and I'm wondering if they could be the trigger even though you were fine with them before.

The big rise in BG has to be significant to all this.....it makes no sense but your gp needs to know about it
