HEAD BANGING

Posted by DENISE on September 24, 2002 at 10:25:33:
I AM 29 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN A HEAD BANGER SINCE I WAS 6 MONTHS. IN '95 I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A PITUITARY TUMOR AND SINCE HAVE SUFFERED FROM CHRONIC HEADACHES ON THE LEFT SIDE AND INSOMNIA. HEAD BANGING IS WHAT I USED TO GET ME TO SLEEP BUT NOW I CANT SLEEP WITHOUT HEAVY MEDICATION. MY BODY BUILDS UP A TOLERANCE TO MEDICINES SO QUICK THAT IT TAKES LARGE DOSES TO PUT ME TO SLEEP. I FIND IT RELAXING TO "BANG" BUT NOW EVEN THAT DOESN'T PUT ME TO SLEEP (EVEN THOUGH I CONTINUE TO DO IT) SLEEPING WITH MY HUSBAND OR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IS HARD, BECAUSE I TRY NOT TO DO IT AND I BEGIN TO HAVE THE STONG URGE AFTER SOME DAYS TO JUST GET BY MYSELF AND "BANG" AWAY. I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT, BUT I JUST KNOW SOMEWHERE ALL OF THIS STUFF IS TIED IN TOGETHER-HEADACHES-INSOMNIA-DEPRESSION-FATIGUE. SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE IS SEARCHING AND CAN'T FIND THE ANSWER. I HOPE YOU ALL REMAIN HOPEFUL AS I DO. IN ADDITION, MY SON IS 7MONTHS OLD....AND HE'S STARTING TO DO IT. I DID IT DURING MY PREGNANCY...I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MEANS ANYTHING OR NOT. HELP IF YOU CAN
