I know the bush you are referring to, the odor is horrible!... We don't have them here at this old house. <br /><br /> Hilary, after a particularly horrendous time in our lives five years ago, I had a muscle tension headache that would not go away, for almost six months. I did everything you did (pred made me sick)... and finally was sent to a neurologist and had a dye injected MRI. Final diagnosis - Nothing ominous. Just muscle tension that got out of control. For that, you are doing the right things... exercise, eating right, calming yourself if that's necessary. The muscles at the back of the neck and head are responsible for those headaches and it's necessary to sooth them... heat, ice, whatever works for you. I was given a script for cyclobenzaprine which did help cut through it until things calmed down again.Karen thisoldhouse2.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302171590212119499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-15594147136674652752011-11-12T09:40:16.082-05:002011-11-12T09:40:16.082-05:00Ugh!

Sometimes I get headaches from working at a computer all day... then sunlight becomes unbearable. I honestly haven't ever known of anyone that had a chronic headache for this long... I do pray you get some relief soon! And yes, the prednisone will increase your appetite, make you hold water, and also make you jittery enough to not sleep well... so, let's hope the full length of this prescription works! Saline nose spray... that's another thing that helps me... dry sinuses hurt...moosecrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309739222008330155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-18690735060275940032011-11-12T08:41:32.670-05:002011-11-12T08:41:32.670-05:00Let's hold Monday as the day, I hope, I hope y...Let's hold Monday as the day, I hope, I hope you are tons better. <br />When I was on prednisone I ate frozen berries.

I am wondering if you have developed an allergy to some dye or fabric. Whenever my sinuses are out of whack I go out to the ocean. I live very close so it is easy. The sea air is very helpful. I am worried about you and hoping for a change toward the good very soon!Frank's Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12018103565291830598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-6222371680930125192011-11-11T23:44:29.585-05:002011-11-11T23:44:29.585-05:00I emphatically do not believe that things happen f...I emphatically do not believe that things happen for a reason. However, I have noticed in my 40+ years of being a counselor that many times what happens to us does secondarily produce some beneficial change. I am hoping your headaches go away for good, and soon, Hilary. It seems so hard, and so debilitating. At the same time, I have seen you coming back often to the question of how to balance work and rest in your life. Your headache has made you rest. Who knows, this awful experience might ultimately give you insight into that balance question, and help you to be more at peace with that issue over time. Meantime, I'm going with the idea that today, being a little bit better than yesterday, is the first day of many days of feeling better still, each building on the other. xospindrift,mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845805725532707460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-51591449104545887452011-11-11T23:12:36.778-05:002011-11-11T23:12:36.778-05:00I hope you get rid of that headache.

I hope the doctors are able to find something to help you soon. Thank you for your blog. Your writing lets me know that I am not alone in some of my thoughts and feelings about things. We are different is alot of ways, but also very alike. <br />By the way...the bushes that smell like cat pee? We have those in PA...they are called boxwoods. So many colonial style houses here have them. We have alot of old farmhouses here...some from the 1700's and they all have those stinky bushes! We often remark about them. You made me laugh!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392329868504622508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-13317889709932176512011-11-11T20:35:09.866-05:002011-11-11T20:35:09.866-05:00So sorry for the pain you are experiencing,, not f...So sorry for the pain you are experiencing,, not fun.
