Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / December 2004OTP Teeny little whine
I don't normally do this, but is anyone else suffering from repeated colds? I normally just get a couple a year, but today came the outbreak of my third cold since 7th November! (I can only remember that date as it was the day after my flu jab). Feeling a bit more run down with each one:(( Jayne >I don't normally do this, but is anyone else suffering from repeated colds? >I normally just get a couple a year, but today came the outbreak of my third >cold since 7th November! (I can only remember that date as it was the day >after my flu jab). not i. i generally have a slight snuffle for most of the winter, and i've had no more than that. before or since my jab on the 5th. >Feeling a bit more run down with each one:(( i bet :-(  SignatureRobin (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq) Fairbairns, Cambridge >>I don't normally do this, but is anyone else suffering from repeated >>colds?

The only reason I'm so narked is that normally apart from the arthritis I stay fairly healthy! I suppose its payback time!

The cold turned out to be not bad, but this morning I woke with a migraine, got up, took my pills and decided to go back to bed. On the way I felt sick and not being able to climb stairs very fast, I then proceeded to cover myself and the stairs in glory (or should that be gory?). John was a sweetheart and cleaned us both up:( Still, I have decided that I am overdoing things and am a bit run down, so I'm going to take some sickies from work.

Migraines are the pits. Do you get them a lot ? This came up on another forum and it's surprising how many people suffer from them. I seem to go through stages of getting migraines and headaches. I seem to get a lot and then don't get them for a time. Alison > I hope you're feeling better now. Migraines are the pits.

I used to suffer from migraines regularly until I was about 22 years old, then got none for years. I just get a very occasional one these days - a couple of years can go by without one. I stayed off work today, and I think I am going to have tomorrow off too, and have a good long rest. Jayne >I am feeling better now thanks Alison.

Hi Jayne I wholeheartedly agree - we run back to work far too quickly these days and don't take enough tome to let things fully recover. Out of interest, a friend of mine has migraines and was wondering what other people take for them (if anything) or do you just retire to a dark room and sit it out? Chris R. > Hi Jayne > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Chris R. As it isn't a regular thing for me Chris, I just take my normal paracetamol and codeine - I haven't got anything else and haven't seen a doctor about them. I sincerely hope that it isn't going to start happening more often! Jayne (posting whilst playing truant from work!) >Jayne (posting whilst playing truant from work!) Apparently "playing truant"* is better for everyone than going to work when you're ill - trust me, the BBC says so ;-) * nothing truant about it of course, you're *sick* and that means you should be at home getting *better* :0) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4051171.stm --------------- To email go to my address and take out the dog... >>I am feeling better now thanks Alison.

Chris, I used to have Dixarit (sp) tiny turquoise pills, and they helped sort my migraines out after about a year.. that was back in 1980 and only had a couple of really bad migraine attacks since then. Has your friend tried to discover what triggers his/her migraine? Cheese, chocholate, coffee can cause some people problems. Regards ConnieD >Has your friend tried to discover what triggers his/her migraine? Cheese, >chocholate, coffee can cause some people problems. Hi Connie I don't think so - i think they are caused by stress mainly... linked to too much work, staring at computer screens and lack of sleep etc etc. She doesn't get them all the time but she gets about one a week currently. Best wishes, Chris R. >I used to have Dixarit (sp) tiny turquoise pills, and they helped sort my >migraines out after about a year.. that was back in 1980 and only had a >couple of really bad migraine attacks since then. my daughter has suffered from migraines since she was at most 4: she was a very unhappy baby, sometimes before she could speak, and i've wondered whether she was having them even that young. she used to miss entire weeks of school, since the three days of migraine and vomiting and so on would leave her needing several days to regain enough strength to go back. >Has your friend tried to discover what triggers his/her migraine? Cheese, >chocholate, coffee can cause some people problems. for my daughter, we did a lot of work to find food intolerances. there was the faintest flicker of a signal after she ate tomatoes, but the doctors didn't think it was relevant. in the end, they decided it couldn't be a food thing. she's now a doctor herself. i know she still gets the migraines occasionally, and i know she was on a drug trial for some new thing while she was a student. i'll ask what she takes now and report back here if she has anything useful to say. (that's if i can make contact with her. difficult people to contact, are junior doctors...) SignatureRobin (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq) Fairbairns, Cambridge >I am feeling better now thanks Alison.

Jayne, isn't that very strange, because I am almost exactly the same. I had my last migraine aged about 37 and then didn't have one for years. Except that now I get all the start up symptoms of migraine, i.e. dizzyness, inability to focus and sickness followed by a very dull and heavy headache, but not the real "biggy" of earlier years. So I guess it is almost a "petite mal" to misquote those minor epileptic seizures that some people get. But touch wood, I don't get the big 'uns anymore, god be praised. I hope you are feeling better and over your last attack. Take care, and stay off the chocolate. A prime cause of migraine I believe. - Peter James Remove AT to reply P F James >I don't normally do this, but is anyone else suffering from repeated colds? >I normally just get a couple a year, but today came the outbreak of my [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Jayne No colds so far Jayne but have had that prickly sensation in the back of my throat for around a fortnight, wondered if I was going to have a cold but touch wood and whistle, nothing yet. Last year after my combined flu/noomonier/bronchitis jab thing, I was ill for quite awhile and ended up on antibiotics for a couple of weeks. Hope you fell a lot better by now gal! Regards ConnieD |
