ernrol Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 There is not much to laugh about when it comes to cancer, but a little laughter helps heal especially if the joke is on me. Do you think I am paranoid? I was playing golf the other day and it was quite windy. After a few holes I began to get this headache. Of course you know the first thing that I think of when any thing starts to bother me. As the day went on I got more concerned and it did not help my golf game. There is not too much that could help my game, it’s beyond help. As I was walking to the car after putting up with this headache all day, I removed my hat that I had secured to my head rather tightly to keep the wind from sending it into the next county and VALA, the headache was gone. HATS OFF TO MODERN MEDICNE Stay positive, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chloesmom Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Every time I have too many margaritas (which honestly isn't very often!), I get a headache the next day. My first thought is never, "You fool, you drank too much tequila," but I know you all can guess what my first thought is instead. Aspirin, a little rest, and time passing make me all better, but it's just the way we're wired to think now, I'm afraid. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolhg Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 No, I don't think you are paranoid. I think we all have had similar experiences. It is wonderful to look back on them with relief. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 That cracked me up! Next time just let the wind blow thru, and forget the hat!!!! We had a similar experience--- I had cleaned the bathroom really well..... LOT'S of clorox cleaner in the "loo". I wanted it to soak for a bit, so I left it. Harry went "wee-wee" in there, not knowing about the cleaner, and the next thing I knew, he was hollering at me to call the doctor, because he figured that his kidney's must have burst!! ! (Apparently you can't mix cleaner with.... well.... "wee-wee", without it becoming bright red!!!!!) Needless to say, Poor Harry thought the big "C" had invaded his kidney's overnight...... It's not funny, but it IS, if you know what I mean?!!!! When I finally figured out what was going on, I was practically rolling on the floor laughing....my poor hubby! Take care you all, Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelley (MLC) Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Let's see, everytime I have a little numbness in my leg, I'm sure I have MS (my dad had it) If I get a headache, it's a brain tumor and despite being 48, if I gain a little weight, I must be pregnant! It seems that many of us think like you! Glad to hear all was well. Shelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie B Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 We're only paranoid when we get unexplained pains. Otherwise, we'er very normal folks! Sure glad to hear you needed to take your hat off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddyslittlegirl Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 I can see how you would be concerned. "Hats off to you" for finding humor in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 During my chemo I had a terrible headache, it lasted for days. During a visit with the onc for blood work I mentioned my headache to the nurses who imediately went into scan mode. An MRI was done straight away and I was told that there was nothing in my brain that showed any problem so I was sent home, much reassured. On my way home I realized that I had omitted one very important piece of information that would have changed the direction of everyone's day..........I have been a long time sufferer of cluster migraines so this was not at all out of the ordinary I'd had worse ones that had lasted longer but because I had the nausea side effect from my chemo I had ignored it as far as my headache was concerned. Oh well, at least the omission wasn't terminal Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
