I'm strongly socialized to believe I'm not entitled to whine anywhere. Which doesn't stop me, granted :) But I always seem to have this voice going "yes, I'm whining, I know I'm whining, I'm doing it anywhere sothere" to all the voices telling me I shouldn't.
yay for virtual hugs! They also don't require us to travel, which is useful. *virtual hugs* And good thoughts and tissues your way!
The headache thing, so much here too. (Is it sinus headache for you? It seems to be for me). That and the wheezing are why I seldom cry & hate doing it. But there are times it helps me emotionally, even though it screws my respiratory system up worse.
(Is it sinus headache for you? It seems to be for me).
I have had a never-ceasing headache since the spring of 2006; it feels exactly like a sinus headache even when I'm clear as the proverbial bell and seems to be nerve damage from the awful four-month grad-school-ending sinus infection of that year. I was told it would fade with time; it never did. (It went away once: when I was in the hospital for something unrelated and on morphine. Wham. No headache. Not a viable long-term solution.) It worsens under conditions that would have ordinarily given me a headache from nothing, colds, weather changes, crying, but there's always the baseline there.
But there are times it helps me emotionally, even though it screws my respiratory system up worse.
I've had a similar but relatively-mild thing for the last year and a half; guessing it's sinus headache but it's never what I go into the doctor *for* so I've been poking at symptoms with sudafed and advil. But I know that ear-sinus-jaw-neck nerve is overstimulated 'cause sometimes it'll turn into a toothache for no dental reason, so I should take this as a kick in the ass to actually figure out what's wrong. Or, y'know, try.

Bodies suck. They suck.
More hugs.

We should get a rebate for them. They're just so badly made.

I never feel better when I cry. My face feels shapeless for hours and the pressure changes make my headache worse.

Understood.

(I know what that's like--your description is almost spot-on for migraineheim.)
I hope things improve, that you're on the right track to feeling well, happy, and energetic--and that it all happens soon!
*HUGS*

Me too. And right now I can't even imagine this. So please keep wishing it for me, since I don't seem up to wishing it for myself :)
