Re: I have been having headaches
Like Trish, I always use the 2 -3 week rule.
However, just after I had finished chemo, I had a 6 day headache that would not go away, and I took pretty well every med in town, even Tylenol 3s (codeine). Nothing worked. My DH finally took me to the ER at my treatment hospital, and I got a brain CT... all clear. The ER doc gave me Percosets - 2 at once, and had me stay in the ER to see how I reacted. Headache was gone within 2 hours! The doc gave me a prescription for more Percosets, and I took a few over the next 2 -3 days. I was fine afterwards.
It likely is something innocent, but at this point I would probably have it checked out, just to calm yourself. The stress alone could give you a headache!
all the best
