I'm going to call a doctor today. Actually I'm just about to check for the phone number to my clinic. I'm home from work today. Still having a whooping headache and my back is screwing me as usual. Tramadol has helped a bit for both of it today but now I only have one of those pills left so I'm going to see if it's possible to have a prescription for those... I got them years ago when I hurt my foot pretty badly. But I have noticed that it's just about the only painkiller that does help me. All the prescription free stuff doesn't help at all even for just a regular headache! And I rarely or never take painkillers... But I do seem to need quite a bit when I do take it. It seems like my headache is a migraine unfortunately, and I've ran out of migraine pills, and again, prescription free doesn't have an effect on me. I can take the max dose of a prescription free painkiller or migraine medicine, and it has just about the same effect as a piece of sugar! Now I'd better find that phonenumber. I need 2 prescriptions filled :P And that's preferably today- something rather impossible in the swedish medical system...

It's 230PM here in Los Angeles. Your next stop sounds like it should be a doctor. Heads and chest pains two areas we do not want to gamble with.
Good luck and let us know how it works out.

I love my job. But all the noise from forklifts of various sizes and up to 12 taperolls at a time is really a pain in the behind when having a headache. Not even music could keep the noise out today! I really have no idea what's causing the headache. Could be lack of sleep possibly because I'm so busy these days I often sleep less than 6h per night since I came back from my parents. But that really shouldn't be... I'm often only sleeping 5-7h when working. All I know is that it's not likely to be caused by bloodsugar unless it's swinging and I don't see it those few times I do test. My medical record says I'm not diabetic, but I call myself possible pre-diabetic due to rising up to 180 a few times after meals and even having 2h readings of over 160 on more than one occassion and that was after having less carbohydrates than usual... It's highly likely I'll call in sick tomorrow. Don't think there's a chance my headache will be gone by 5.30am. It's 11.25pm here now and my headache is still haunting me quite badly. The reason I'm still up is because my head is keeping me up! But I'm tired enough to fall asleep standing :S
