I have never been prone to headaches..The last few days, however, I have had one on the right side of my upper forehead. It's semi-sharp pain that comes and goes..And, on top of that my head just hurts..not fun at all! Yes, I have a lot of financial stress and personal stress right now..But..it gets confusing because I am also dealing w/ peri-menopausal symptoms and hormone fluctuations like crazy! Headache is one of the possible side effects of peri-menopause..So, how do I determine what the heck is causing it? My upper right side of my neck is tight, as usual..Maybe it is coming from there..I am leaving for San Diego for a few days w/ a dear friend..she is treating! Can't wait..hope it goes away when I smell the ocean!

Hi Karen, I was wondering how long it would be before the poster-child for TMS came back to check in. Well I can see at least four life stressors that you listed that could be causing your head-ache.
What I recommend you do is, click on the link below. Check out the Holmes-Rahe list and you will quickly determine the cause of your head-ache. I'm glad to see you're figuring out this TMS thing.
Enjoy the beach, although we're having a very cool summer on the left coast. Check out the La Jolla Modern Art Museum if you're up there.
Cheers

If I had a dollar for every bad headache I've had in the last 10 years, I'd be a rich man.
Carry on, Karen :>) |

Tom! Wow that link for that museum in SD looks so cool..Thank you! I am going to definitely go there and talk to them about getting in..In fact, I may contact them now and see if I can bring some pieces with me! I soooo appreciate this sweetie! I also looked at that stress link and BOY OH BOY do I have A LOT of the top stressors going on in my life..Also, guess what??? An old boyfriend from age 14 found me on Facebook..He has a girlfriend but wants to be best pals w/ me again. I told him about NJ and how homesick I am, etc..He offered me a place to stay for free if I teach music lessons out of his store he is opening up! So holy cow, I have to watch that TMS Gremlin like a hawk because I have a HUGE decision to make! He said I could bring Kaya, my wolf hybrid..but i'd have to keep my 155 lb baby in the kitchen when i am not home..Ahhhhhh..i am babbling..Anyway, the headache is gone but now the NECK is tightening! Damn that TMS!
Hugs,
K |
