Headaches and jaw ache...

[Piglet's Mama]

Hi ladies,

Since I had a horrible cold virus last week, I've been struggling this week to shift the last of it. I still have a runny nose and quite a bad cough and I don't know if I'm bringing these headaches on myself. I'm getting quite a lot of pain behind my left eye and it feels like a build up of pressure or maybe my sinuses... My jaw (on the right side) is also really painful and when I clench my teeth, it's like part of my jaw isn't aligned...

Anyone else been suffering or can offer any reassurance that these ailments are going to bugger off soon?

Oh hun I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I have an almighty cold myself at the moment, the whole lot... Sore throat, blocked nose, headaches, slightly feverish... Can't wait to be rid of it

Hope things settle down soon, it does sound rather nasty... x

I'm poorly to... I've have now got a cold and a cough and my eyes feel like they burn lol ! Plus a painful hip and back! sorry can't help with the sore jaw... Hope it shifts for you soon, its horrible being ill while pregnant, normally I would just dose myself up on anything and everything...xx

Hiya!

You sound just like me at the moment.. I had it all last week and I'm left with the MOST ANNOYING tickerly, dry cough.. Keeps me (and OH) up all night! And I've now passed it onto him!! I coughed so much the night before last I was sick twice, and my stomach & neck muscles are killing me.. Im 18 weeks Sunday and keep thinking what poor bean is going through inside me when I go into a coughing fit lol!

And the eye/head pain! I've got exactly that, feels like my ears need to pop too and its all around the base of my neck/head!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling like this Hope we feel better soon!!!

xx

Oh, it's so horrible isn't it? I had to take MORE paracetamol earlier, I feel guilty taking it but I just couldn't go without it anymore. I thought earlier my eye was going to pop out with the pressure & how much I'm coughing!

Will be so glad when it's gone - feel better ladies xxx

I still haven't taken any paracetamol this pregnancy... I always think to myself to get a grip, I'm going to be in more pain during labour... But then again we don't get medals for going pain relief free so if you need it then have it, I will be taking a paracetamol up to bed tonight and if I'm struggling then I will have it, its nice to know that we can take paracetamol in its normal dosage now!

My doc gave me a nasal spray safe to use in pregnancy. I also steamed my face about 4 times a day with olbas oil. I did take paracetomol too hut pain lasted about 4 weeks!!! I took it when I was in real agony but it did not do a thing!!

I think the headaches have passed (please god!) and I'm going to make an appt at the Dentist on Monday as the jaw ache is persistent and I can't seem to clench my teeth on the right side - wondering if I've been grinding my teeth at night or if it has something to do with breathing out of my mouth for the last 2 weeks because my nose has been permanently blocked....! Oh the joys x
