I've had this headache for about a week now.
Off and on. Low and dull and achy.
Somehow with all the crazy things I did last week I ended up drinking five days in a row (hells yes, momma's still got it...alcoholism that is) so I just figured this headache was something stupid like dehydration.
I was just starting to get a little concerned about it yesterday. This is just the thing you hear about from people who just drop dead at the age of thirty. "oh, she had a little headache for a while, but you know, it was just stress or something" and then they open her up in the autopsy and find a tumor the size of a watermelon in her brain.
I did a quick little diagnosis on WebMD because that is what us hypochondriacs do. It was either anemia or a brain worm. Awesome. I took some Advil and forgot about it.
A few hours later the Advil wore off and there it was again. A low, dull ache, right up in my forehead. You know, my forehead, exactly where I got a mosquito bite...about a week ago.
So don't be alarmed. I am not dying of a tumor or a brain worm. Just the mosquito bite that has apparently been pushing hard enough on my skull to cause me pain!
I am the coolest!

lol... I never WebMD anything because half the time it just increases my paranoia times a thousand!
Another reason why mosquitos suck. Between the itchiness and now apparently head trauma, they should be exterminated.
Ah, crappy. I had a headache for about a week that was progressively getting worse and, like you, I was growing a tad bit worried. Turned out to be a horrible sinus infection. No fun.
But a brain worm would be so exotic!
I swear WebMD is there to freak us out. Every time I try to self diagnose, I wind up with some deadly disease. It's creepy!
