Tension Headaches

I get them all the time and was wondering if it was widespread amongst the Dyspraxic folk?

I clicked yes, some are proper tension headaches, and some I can sort as soon as I goto the DIY Store! due to family on to me, and my brother about me being in a relationship!!

me, and my brother have given up, so we give our family red herrings to satisfy them, and to talk about, otherwise we would never hear the end of it.

well I got the social side of the arguement $\:D/$ , my brother hasn't got anything, poor him

so while the family have got the red herrings, then they aren't so bothered in hearing what is going on more or less infront of their noses either!!!

I am likely to ge them when I have come back from Newcastle having done shopping. The fact it was hectic is probably what does it for me.

When its hectic it seems to almost increase the pressure going round in my head. I am lifting up heavy bags, I am looking round all the time. The heat also plays a part.

But I'm no doctor. It just seems that way.

100% have said yes so far, that is interesting. I wonder if its our inability to cope with too many things at once causing the tension?

Sorry but you are wrong. I don't choose to get these tension headaches. It just happens. It is like saying you choose to get yourself run over by a car.

When I go into busy shopping areas like Newcastle city centre it is an "occupational hazzard" you could say. It is very hectic all the time. Theirs loads you see. Theirs loads of walking to do. All of which cause strain on my head. It all however is something you cannot avoid.

I didnt say you chose to get tension headaches, I dont choose to get them either, I said the results wont be a treu representatiion of the number of people with dyspraxia who get tension headaches cause the people who do get tension headaches are more likely to chose to read this post and fill in the pole, where as those who dont get tension headache probly wont be as intrested in reading this post

Appologise for misreading. I now see your point. But again I still cannot see how your point holds water.

Why wouldn't those who DON'T get tension headaches not be interested in posting and filling in the poll but those that DO get tension headaches would be interested in reading this thread and using the poll? If I didn't get them I wouldn't be frightened to say so and answer on the poll "no".

I tend to get them more on a bright sunny morning. Driving my daughter to school on a sunny day leaves me with a really nasty headache for the rest of the day.

I bought some sunglasses to try and stop the headaches, but I can never find them when I need them

its not that they would be scared, just less intrested, not necessarily massively so, but enough to make the numberrs not representative, its a commonly accepted premise within research

I almost always get tension headaches, I'm usually fine when I'm in the house,but as soon as I leave I develop a tension headaches, it gets worse when I'm on the bus or when I arrive at work.
