Tiny Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Ray A. You're one of my heros, so please don't take this amiss, but YOU HAVEN'T BY ANY CHANCE BEEN KEEPING YOUR EYES CROSSED TOO have you? Seriously, I haven't had chemo yet, so I can't say, sorry. Hoping you are feeling better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieB Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 My dad did have headaches that we could possibly relate to chemo effects. No one could ever tell us why - first they did the MRI just to be safe, then the concensus ranged from a sinus infection to stress to chemo effects. He took some sinus meds which helped some and an extra pain pill - the headaches lasted about 2 weeks. Hope I didn't ramble and I hope this helps. Bless you Ray. Youre always in our prayers.

berisa Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 honestly I didn't heard of this happened on my Dad, but will it be a problem of sleepness? Just a guess. Ask your doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam'swifeShirley Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Think of any unpleasant symptom you can, chemo causes it. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carleen Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 My husband did have headaches. We read on one of the chemo drug sheets that they are a possible side effect. The oncology nurse who treated him on the second round also suggested that the stress and tension my husband was experiencing during the chemo and subsequent illness was causing muscle tension and knots in the neck and back which could be the cause of the headaches. He had accupuncture a couple of times, and he said it seemed to help a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlton Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Hi Ray- Yes i do get headaches from the chemo. I think it may also be because of stress. i notice that i grind my teeth a bit also. Hope it helps a bit. Take care Carlton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 severe headache is one of the symptoms caused by dehydration. Are you getting IV fluids, and/or drinking enough water? Hope the headache ends soon. I can take quite a bit of pain, but I hate having a headache. Fay A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY A Posted July 2, 2003 Author Share Posted July 2, 2003 STRESS WHOS HAVEING STRESSS I think im getting enough water I pass all the tests. They give me saline solution when I get chemo. Last friday I got my third treatment for the first cycle. All this time I thought I was doing great with the chemo. Only one day a week was bad. This week the Chemo is kicking my A$$. Im beat every day so far. no wonder they give you a week off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
