Have had a really bad headache for over a week....

[cornishcreamtea]

do you think it could be due to lilies in the house? I know this seems trivial compared to other problems here but have had a really bad relentless headache for the last week, feeling sick also. Nothing has worked, paracetomol, migraleve, solpadeine plus etc ( not all at the same time I hasten to add).

As I was saying to my dp last night how fed up I was he mentioned all the flowers in the house. It was my birthday recently and I have had vases full all over. The lilies in particular have such a strong smell, could this be the cause by any chance?

Has anybody ever heard of this?

It could be. They give me bad hay fever. Try removing them. A week is a long time. You sound like you need a doctors appointment to me, just to rule out anything else.

Not wanting to alarm you by any means but please see yr gp to get it chkd
Same thing happened to a friends dh.he kept going bk to gp with bad back&they kept saying it was sciatica

Lillies give me awful headaches!

They're beautiful, but I can't have them in the house.

Can you put the lilies outside for a bit and see if it helps?

Thanks everyone for your advice. I think unfortunately the lilies are going to have to go!

I can't cope with lilies at all. Take them out and see if you improve - if not get thee to a GP!
