Her head hurts

One of the main side effects of Genotropin is headaches. Natasha is suffering from a headache tonight. I don't use suffering lightly. She is not moaning in agony or anything, but she took herself to bed with a cool washcloth at 7:30, which is pretty unheard of. And she never gets headaches.

We are on full disclosure with this whole Genotropin thing. To that end, I told her that headaches can be a side effect, and that I want her to really keep me up to date on when she has headaches, what they feel like, etc.

I also need to keep things in perspective: not everything is tied to this drug. For example, I almost never get headaches and last night in the middle of Finding Om I had a killer headache and was pretty positive I had a fever, although I didn't have either by the time I got home. So maybe it's just a teeny virus or something going around.

Every little thing is suddenly bigger. My ass, tummy and double chin included.

Last night I had a killer headache, I'd had it for about 6 hours and it just kept getting worse. A few days ago I read in some magazine to lay down with your feet in the air, against a wall. So Jacob was in our room working on some school work, and all I wanted to do was go to bed, so I thought I'd give it a try. Laid in bed & put my legs straight up against the wall. What do you know it worked! Headache gone in about 10 minutes. I swear it really worked. Maybe a fluke, but worth having Natasha try. I'm not surprised that headaches are a side effect. Hormones are like that, be it growth or PMS. Wishing you and Natasha lots of love.
