happy new year everyone, first of all :)

now, hang-overs aside... has anyone been having headaches these past few weeks? last for a few days to week? People who almost never get headaches?

I've had this headache, and some general aches (back/neck) for the past week, and a wide range of friends have also said they've been having headaches they can't shake, even my brother as well.

My girlfriend thinks it might be the bushfire smoke? Which i think might be a good start, as my friends don't all know each other. In other words, it wouldn't be like, we were all at the same party, and all ate the same dodgy oysters. It's a wide mix of people, different parts of melbourne, etc...

I NEVER get headaches, so this is VERY strange to me as it's lasted for so long (bout 8 days now). And i find it very strange that all these other people i know are also having headaches, when they don't get them.

The only universal thing we could all have been exposed too would be the bushfire smoke, unless there is some other virus doing the rounds in melbourne?

anyone else have similar problems?

cheers,

daniel

I've been getting a very sore throat if I sleep with the window open.

Close the window = problem solved.

The major cause of headaches, is mild dehydration.

If your body is having to work a tiny bit harder to process all the smoke which is being pumped into it, and you're not drinking enough water to accomodate, then this will lead to headaches.

The heat by itself also plays a big part in this.

answer?

drink more water. :)

You'd probably need a really good masage from the Planet Holywood or something like that :).

I think you mean The Daily Planet....or so i've been told. :):)

Back on topic, yeah i've been getting little headaches, and i never get them unless i'm dehydrated. My prescription, drink more water and post back in a week. :D

the only ones i get are migraines - but thats once every now and then (not often) - and when I get them, Im out for the whole day! THe last time I slept from 7pm till 9am! and even after that I was very groggy and spent the next day inside the house.

but no - i dont have any headaches....

The smoke will not be helping, as it lowers the oxygen levels and makes you have to breath harder. The dry heat that we have been having will also dehydrate you a lot quicker, and you will not notice it. I have found that on the hot days that we have been having, I can lose up to 6 Kg's from 9 am in the morning to 7 at night, just from water loss, if I do not drink enough during the day (I tend to drink around 6 liters of water each day).

maybe it's a little comedown for running around and shit (i haven't drunk for over a year) -

i do actually drink a lot of water. When i'm home, i always have a full water bottle around, and constantly take swigs of that.

I also drink a fair bit of water at work because we have those taps that chill the water.

And i'm not an every day coffee/tea drinker. Might have a tea or coffee, 2-3 times a week. Sometimes maybe once a week.

back/neck aches part of dehydration as well?

and just throwing it out there, anyone know much about malaria? i have another theory :wave:

you been getting bushfire smoke up there? it's really the only environmental (as in, living conditions, not in the conservation sense) constant... unless there is some bug/virus floating around...

EDIT: and i take it you only have headaches rarely? have u had a headache for a while? any other problems? i friend of mine was different in that he was having the breathing difficulties. Which obviously points a lot more strongly to the bushfire smoke. But had the headache troubles as well, same as his girlfriend. My girlfriend seems to be fine.

it's quite intriguing.

maybe it's a little comedown for running around and shit (i haven't drunk for over a year) -

see now theres ur problem there to start with. u get pissed, forget bout the world n its all over.. ask bris

or go get a couple of noofs "headache" tablets

^ i haven't drunk for a year. i don't take anything, and i don't smoke.

It's not due to substance abuse, that's for sure.

EDIT: i think i'm slow, you mean, my problem is that i DON'T drink?

Guy's its caused by your MOBILE PHONE!!

You have been using more lately cause its Xmas and your ringing your mum etc etc.

SERIOUSLY!! In case you dont realise, it transmits RF power up near the same frequency that your microwave does that heats stuff!

Yeah I know its safe and proven by world experts to not be able to effect you etc etc - BUT its BULL!

Who is going to be first to admit that one of the worlds greatest profit makers could adversley affect anyone?

NOT a Govt that owns Telstra anyway.

If you want to know why I may? have any credibility see my website here:- http://www.cqdx11.com

Since GSM operates in 900 MHz & 1800 MHz bands using a maximum power of 2 watt for 900MHz and 1 watt for 1800Mhz, and Microwave ovens usually operate around 2.45GHz and generate around 700 watts i don't think you'll cook much with a phone.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
