Headaches plaguing me

Mon, 08/21/2006 - 16:13
Hi Has anyone had headaches around their temples that were related to stress or lack of sleep? I haven't had any seizures because of these headaches, but they are an annoyance to my busy life. Thanks

I have been lately. I want to say the pain is mainly in the right temple but it reverberates back and forth like a game of tennis and is really painful. The last two days I've been having alot of problems with simple partials that I feel has been brought on by the headaces dragging on for so long. I'm assuming they are from stress but I don't really know. I hope your headaches go away. Take care! -Spiz

I also get those headaches, especially when I am feeling a bit stressed out. I usually just take Advil or Tylenol and they clear up in about an hour. They are sometimes so bad that I feel nautious. They drive me crazy, but I always tell myself that it's my meds fighting my brain so that I don't have a seizure. I haven't had any since my first one three years ago, so they must be doing their job. :-)

Thanks, I'll give the tylenol or advil a try.
