Migraine's really suck! I know-I suffer with them too. I also suffer with depression and insomnia. I then fall asleep during the day. These are probably all related somehow. I know if I don't get enough sleep or sleep too much, this can bring on a migraine. And living like that can make anyone feel their life sucks!!!\nDo you get any auras before a headache. I get "floaters" (tiny little lights a lot like fireflies!).\nI would ask to have your thyroid checked and get tested for diabetes. Both of these can cause daytime sleepiness, headaches and depression.I was found to have both. \nI treat my headaches with Tylenol#3 (codeine) I take Celexa for the depression. This usually cures the insomnia but I ***occassionally***take a sleep aid.\nAlso try some relaxtion techniques-it may sound corny but they really work. And try to stop worrying about it all-stress will just create a vicious circle of headaches and depression!!!

I'm not a doctor and this is not a diagnosis nor should it be construed as medical device. /end disclaimer\n\nYour symptoms suggest to me three possibilities.\n\nOne is that you're naturally not sleeping well. This is incredibly common when there are a multitude of symptoms or general breakdown. Headaches, tiredness, an ability to concentrate and recall information can all be the result of exhaustion.\n\nSecond, and poor sleep increases the risk of this, is that you could have pre-diabetes. Don't freak out. I think it's BS that diabetes is "incurable". It's incurable by drugs is all that means to me! Again, headaches and forgetfulness are more common when diabetes is present. What really makes me think this may be the case though is the numbness. Diabetes leads to poor circulation which leads to numbness and "tingling". It can get really bad to the point where wounds don't heal, the tissue can't maintain itself and might even need to be amputated. Don't stress though since there's a lot you can do.\n\nThe third possibility is that you have compression or too much tension in your neck. That can lead to headaches and to problems in other areas that a compressed nerve leads to... which could manifest as numbness. I'm not opposed to chiropractic but I've never had great lasting results either. And I certainly don't put enough faith in it to risk a neck adjustment.\n\nSo what would I do?\n\n1. Lots of water to stay hydrated (for brain function) and keep my spinal discs hydrated.\n2. Eat a balanced diet including good fats such as from nuts, salmon, and seeds. Your brain is made up of nerves and nerves are largely fat. In fact, your brain is roughly 60% fat! Avoid sugar, white flour and excessive caffeine.\n3. Go to sleep before midnight (preferrably 10 or 11) and get 7-8 hours. Don't oversleep. Make sure you sleep in a quality sleep system (mattress, comfortor, and pillow are important). Don't use sedatives or alcohol to get to sleep.\n4. Stretch often throughout the day. Get up out of your chair regularly and go for a good walk at least once a day. Massage the muscles in your neck.\n5. Wear a magnetic necklace. It seem to help relieve some of the tension.\n6. Exercise daily. Some moderate weight-bearing exercise will help build your muscles and support your head, neck and shoulders.\n7. Sit with proper posture.\n\nKeep Well,\nRob

This is very common. It generally occurs because of an involuntary muscle spasm in your sleep. As a result you might have a minor inflamation in your neck. Your body's way of dealing with that is restricting your movement so you don't make it worse. Crazy no? The best thing you can do for yourself is put heat on it (they sell hating pads at most pharmacies). You should also move your head around slowly as far as you can without it hurting. This will speed your recovery time. You can also have someone give you a gentle massage to improve circulation. But above all, use heat. I would also use pain killers.

Headaches are NOT mostly caused by depression. If your doctor says there's nothing wrong with you, then GREAT! Other causes can be that you are deprived of good sleep; or you have been thinking a lot and you become a scatter-brain; or perhaps you are a worry-wart yourself, worrying that there might be something wrong with you when in fact, there's none. Try meditation. It may somehow help you sort out things, and most importantly, QUIET the self. Ciao...

well I don't know what to tell you but I feel your pain, if I don't set an alarm I can sleep all day and the only way I wake up is if I have to use the bathroom, hey that gives me an idea, before you go to bed drink a ltr of water!  \nI could ask a doc about this though, probably can help you more then a bunch of morons on the net lol

I also had sleeping problems for almost a year, and it even landed me on the hospital ER, and then on to the psychiatric section of the hospital.\n\nI know exactly how you feel, because sleeplessness ruins your life.\n\nI don't know how much anxiety or stress you have, or if you are depressed, but if you are either, you should take antidepressants, since they will give you energy during the day so that you can be active enough to make yourself sleepy by nighttime.\n\nIt seems with your immunity to sleeping pills that you have to go the natural way.\n\nThat means trying Melatonin, Valerian Root, Herbal teas that induce sleep like Chamomile, and maybe St. John's Wort.\n\nJust spend as much time as possible looking up natural remedies for sleeplessness on the Internet, and you may find the help you need there.\n\nAlso, look at the load of info from all the people who answered another person's question on here about how to get sleep!\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjQPmEvSkUSyBQCdfwzvbT8jzKIX?qid=20061015235532AAF0heQ

There could be two different problems going on here. One could be that something is bothering you here and you need some peace of mind about it before you can truly totally relax. Have you tried maybe some aromatherapy before you go to bed or near your bed? Lavendar is excellent to promote a healthy, restful sleep. Also, before you go to bed, a few hours before, quit drinking anything with caffeine and sugar in it. Before bed, drink a glass of milk ( warm if you like it that way. The triptofan-phan? in it will really help you to relax and get to sleep easier_) and maybe take a warm bath or shower. I love crawling into bed after I dry off from a hot shower... yummy!!\n\nHave you ever thought about praying before you go to bed? I know, I know.. you're thinking I"m a zealot. But seriously, if you have something bothering you , you can ask for help. Ask for guidance in decision making, thank  ( diety of choice here) for all  the blessings you have in your life, forgiveness for any indescretions you may have committed... etc... This can really clear the mind for easier sleep.\n\nOk, the OTHER option I wanted to bring up is Sleep apnea. Its a sleep disorder that can easily be diagnosed. IF you have a problem with snoring, waking up alot and never feeling rested, you might have apnea. I do, and I used to have bizzaro dreams like you spoke of.  I got tested and I sleep with a little machine at night that helps me breathe now at night and I feel sooo much better!!  Just ask your boyfriend to watch your sleeep  patterns one night and to make notes. Look up the symptoms online. You never know, your problems might just be something this simple. \n\nWhatever it is, I really do hopeyou get some good sleep soon and cut back on those dreams!! \n\nsweet dreams....

as for the pain in your head it could be migraine brought on by stress and the paranoia you need to see a psychiatrist and need to be prescribed anti psychotic drugs like lithium then the headache will subside and also the paranoia

I'm an insomniac so I can sympathize! There are all sorts of tricks to try, warm milk, a warm bath, mild exercise about 1 hour before bed. Try to read or do puzzles somewhere other than bed and have your room dark and on the cool side. try self relaxation when you lie down close your eyes and starting at your temples imagine each muscle slowly relaxing as you move down your body.  If all else fails a mild over the counter sleep aid may be needed on occassion or see a doctor. Good Luck and Sweet Dreams!

Heartache and headache?

1.  Frequent headaches - see your doctor, there could be an underlying problem you can't see.\n\n2.  When do you work out?  Day time - excellent, but not after your last meal of the day.  When you exercise, you are working up your metabolism - and yes, exercise and a full day of activities can wear you out - this is why we sleep.\n\nIf you work out after your last meal of the day, you are over working your metabolism and it takes time for the body to wind down properly.\n\nBeing tired, drowsy, fatigued does not make you "weak" just means you have worn yourself out.  This is good if you wish to live a normal life of excercise, activity, and eating a sensible diet.\n\nIf you are over drowsy, tired, fatigued, then you should seek advice from your doctor.  Taking vitamins and suppliments do not replace a proper sensible diet.\n\nDon't try to over do the excercise - this could lead to serious health issues that you will do more harm to your body too early - thus wearing out your interest in remaining in a healthy state of being.\n\nTry Yoga and meditating for calming yourself down, stretching your body's muscles properly and thus after your last meal of the day, you can relax as you should.  The human body can only do so much, and not more than it should/could.  Try getting to know your body, learn to like yourself and excercise appropriately at the right times of the day.  Rest when you should.

See a doctor.  That's what they're there for.  To see why you are tired, depressed, or have some real cause for pain.

When I was younger my legs hurt really bad and I hated any noise when I was in bed. You might have pressure on your lower spine and you need to see a physiotherapist like a friend of mine or like me you should see a doctor to discuss depression.Once I started to take meds my legs never bothered me since unless if I've been off of them for a while and I'm tired then that's when they hurt real bad.\nTry ear plugs and one of those night visors(that go over your eyes) or what ever it's called to keep some of the lights out .You never mentioned about energy levels during the day if you always seem tired then you might have serious problems.What it is that you may be laking in your serotonin levels that controls every thing from sleep to motivation to even happiness.\nWater intake or eating properly is not the problem what your doing is what any person who knows something is wrong but can't put there  finger on it  is doing and that is why AM I like this and how do I snap out of this.\nPhantom pain and sleep is two of the sure signs your suffering and I know how much you are suffering.So don't be embarrassed about going to a doctor and talking about this I was embarrassed but relieved when he explained every thing to me and gave me a script of Prozac. I really hope i'm wrong but if I'm right then your going to have a long road of recovery ahead of you but maybe your like my friend that I mentioned and it's only your spine causing pressure on a nerve cuasing you to have sore legs.

Sometimes when I haven't been sleeping enough, when I've exercised too much, or when I'm sick, I get headaches where I feel a throbbing in my head. I don't have it all the time though. Mostly I get headaches like that when I haven't been sleeping well. Maybe that's your problem. Hope it gets better soon!
