Pain!
I am so tired of having pain. I have been fighting a summer cold on and off for weeks. I'll feel fine for a few days and then be clogged and my throat scratchy again. And then I'll get a headache or a migraine. Sometimes for multiple days in a row.
Today I woke up with a huge pain in my back. I used to have these a lot but we got a new bed and I've been sleeping so much better, so this one is surprising me. Its pretty painful and its now triggered a headache (it doesn't take much to trigger a headache for me). I envy those that said they have only had one or two headaches in their life. I have at least one a week and with suffering from the cold I've had for the past few weeks and now this pain, I feel like I've had some kind of pain almost every day for a month! Its tiring!

I'm sorry you feel crappy
 Have you thought about getting your back checked out? There might be a cervical bone which needs 'tweaking'.

I forgot about something else that helps me at times if you don't like taking medicine. If you have any icyhot take some and rub it on both your temples make sure you don't get it to close to your eyes and then where the dent is in the back of your head and neck meet put some there.

Do you think that cold could be allergies? I know a cold that hangs on that long is usually something else, maybe a sinus infection. It is a misconception that you have to have a really runny nose to have a sinus infection. Being all clogged up is also a symptom of an infection like that.
I am sorry that you are feeling so miserable.

I hadn't thought about a sinus infection. I've had them before and they are usually pretty painful but maybe this is just a "hanging on" one. It certainly explains the sick, not sick, sick, not sick. Ugh!

Nancy, I wonder if it is allergies because I've been feeling crappy for a couple of weeks now myself and I have had a headache that won't go away! It is VERY annoying!

I am very sorry that you have been in so much pain. I alos get migraines and have fully decided from an early age that if terroists could market the migraine feeling everything secret would be found out.
Good luck, Allene

I had those same symptoms for about a month and a half. I finally went to the doctor, and I had a sinus infection and ear infections, plus seasonal allergies. I just finished my antibiotics and I feel a lot better. I hope you find some relief - fast!
