RAY A Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 Just a question, Has anyone that has gotten chemo receive headachs? Quote
kimblanchard Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 Nope, nada. Maybe it's just your hair falling out and all that anxiety!!! Quote
Tiny Posted July 1, 2003 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
berisa Posted July 2, 2003 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
Sam'swifeShirley Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 Think of any unpleasant symptom you can, chemo causes it. Sam Quote
Carleen Posted July 2, 2003 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
carlton Posted July 2, 2003 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
Fay A. Posted July 2, 2003 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
RAY A Posted July 2, 2003 Author 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
