Personal space seems to be a thing of the past. People are much more bold about practically sitting on others' laps or pressing uncomfortably against others in a queue than they were fifteen or twenty years ago, at least that's my impression over here in the Yoo Ess. :( The world is trying to edge agoraphobes and anxiety sufferers out. We should fight back! Host a revolution! (Quietly. In our basements. Far away from everyone else.)

:D
The majority seems to still uphold good manners over here, at least in shops and restaurants. Not so much in the street or supermarkets (strangely) though. Pushing and shoving and all trying to get somewhere fast. Phone users go through the crowd like snow ploughs and I have found some pedestrians practice maneuvers bad drivers use! I have been cut up by people many times. Sometimes when I feel like someone is walking right up behind me, as though trying to force me to go faster or trying to over take me as it were, I like to stop suddenly and out of the blue, take em by surprise!
But the family group earlier, never known the like before, I handled it the British way, tutting.

I have had a headache for the last 5 days and it's driving me up the wall. Nothing I take for it works.
The worst part is trying to be nice to customers when you really want to tell them to shut the hell up.

Do you know what type of headache it is? Sinus can last a while, but hot showers and hot drinks (or spicy food) help. If its muscular it can last days, unless you can find the muscles responsable and massage them loose again. I get these a lot. Drugs don't seem to help them, but hot shower and lying flat on your back on the floor help to let things relax a bit.

If it keeps going without an obvious cause you should probably think about seeing a doctor.

I usually get migraines every so often, but nothing ever this painful. My migraines I can generally get rid of by sleeping in a dark room. The really bad ones generally cause me to lose feeling down my left hand side. They thought I was having a stroke the first time it happened.

Not sure what type of headache it is, not had one like this before. Spoke to the pharmisit at my work and they gave me some co-codomol to try, said if it didn't work go back. Went back yesterday, and he seemed perplexed at to what's causing it.

On the plus side I have the doctors later this afternoon. Hopefully they can shed some light on what it is

Good, sounds like it needs checking. Hope it's nothing too bad.

I used to get very regular migraines back when I was nineteen/twenty (I'm twenty-five now), and I was later diagnosed with through-the-roof blood pressure which turned out to be the trigger. After I was put on treatment to lower my blood pressure, I haven't had one since. I hope they can pin down the cause of yours, Hellfire; migraines are nasty as all get-out!

Just got back from the drs. All basic checks are fine. His exact words about is it "my best educated guess". He thinks it's just one of my mirgraines that hasn't settled. Although he did then list a few other things such as my eyes etc but then said that's just clutching at straws.

He also checked the back of my eyes which was a bit weird, was relieved when he said all was ok.

I got some tablets to take, but if they don't work and I still have my headache after the weekend then I have to go back.
