SO SCARED

I know I'm posting a lot today.  Please excuse me.  I am so scared right now. I have a headache all day.  Usually it's in the back of my head and on top.  As most of you know from my long post earlier today, someone I knew passed away from a stroke this past weekend and he had a headache in the back of his head a few days before.  I am so scared.  I go to the ER all the time for things and I am trying my best not to but I keep thinking what if today is the day my headache is something serious.  I already took a Vicodin (the doctor gave me those for the headaches last time I went to the ER with headaches) and I still have the headache.  I am panicking and crying and don't know what to do.

Sweety remember you have anxiety, remind yourself what it is, not knowing or remembering why is more scary.

Hi hun......how scary to feel like you do!  Have you tried some plain old aspirin?  My absolute favorite aspirin in the world is Bufferin.  I swear, it acts like a miracle drug when nothing else works.  Vicoden has acetaminophen in it, which for me, doesn't work for pain at all.  If you're stomach can tolerate aspirin, it couldn't hurt to try it?

Plus, I'm sure your headache isn't improving because you're getting so upset.  What about jumping in a nice hot shower to relax your muscles?

Hope you feel better!
