What is the cause of my headaches and other symptoms?
-
I've had headaches since about August of last year, and used to get them daily in the afternoon until a neurologist prescribed me Topamax (50mg) in November. They went away for a while, until in April, they started coming back again. I had a CT scan (w/out contrast) and they found nothing besides a deviated septum I must have been born with. By July, they were occurring 3x weekly or so again, so I'm now up to 100mg on the Topamax. Also, I always have a foggy, "out-of-it" feeling when I have the headaches. I've also started developing other symptoms. The headaches have always been frontal, pressure-related headaches, but I've now started to get random "stabbing" pains by my temples whether or not I have the actual headache going on. Recently, over the last 4 weeks or so, I've been extremely thirsty again and again, and have also noticed some light sinus symptoms, as well as a lot of hair loss. I don't have light/sound sensitivity, so they don't consider the headaches migraines. I had an episode about 4 nights ago where my hands started uncontrollable trembling and clenching up for about 1 1/2 hours, until the feeling wore off, which had never happened before. My hands wouldn't stop moving! I've looked researched the internet forever, and tried to seek help through 4 different doctors, all of which who couldn't attribute my symptoms to any specific cause (stress, sinusitis?). I'm getting frustrated at this point with not knowing what's going on, and feel that although the Topamax makes a slight difference, it's just only masking the cause for headaches I'm having. My next step is probably to call my primary care doctor and see if there's a way to draw blood for autoimmune/ thyroid/hormonal issues, although I don't know how that all works. Do these symptoms sound like they could be related to one of those problems? I would appreciate anyone's input on these issues that they have to offer! Thanks for your help!

Answer:
The most visible thing about sinus is swelling. The easiest way to control swelling is to give up water and all other liquids for 24 hours. In 24 hours there will be no significant dehydration to cause organ failure. But to be double sure one can stay indoors for 24 hours. Now if you decided to try it the next problem is that one who is used to drinking water or other liquids feel thirsty quite often. They find it very difficult to manage without water for more than 6 hours. For that follow the following routine. First thing in the morning drink tea (on empty stomach). It should be normal tea not too strong nor too light. One should not take anything with tea. No water or anything before or after tea for atleast 1 hour. Tea on empty stomach leaves a bitter taste in mouth. Resist drinking water or any other liquid for next 3-4 hours. After this the bitter taste will be gone. AFter this there will be no thirst signals. For the next 48 hours there will be enough fluid in your mouth and food pipe. You can eat your normal meals minus any liquids for next 24 hours. This will resolve all health issues including poor digestion. In 24 hours the reduction in the fluids will be about 3 litres or about 5% of the total body weight of a normal adult. Never the swelling due to sinus or cold and cough is more than 5% of the body volume. During this period of 24 hours the lose of water from the body does not reduce even by 1% to offset reduced water intake. The reduction in loss of body water thru urine or sweating starts after 48 hours in most of people. But to be on safe side giving up water and liquids for 24 hours will do the trick. The reduced swelling will give immediate relief from pain. It will make is much more easier to eliminate the cough thru nose without any pain. That will also improve the blood acid levels by about 5%. This makes changes at the cell level as well. Blood acid levels are the first line of defense against the infections. So swelling gone, pain gone, cough moving out, infections taken care of. Now what remains in the body for the next change of season time. Obviously nothing. So it has already given u long term relief from sinus.
