yes they do, and before I was on atkins, I noticed I was gaining weight taking various pain killers for my knee. I tried Viacadin, and a few others. Finally I told my doctor and he said it has been know to have that side effect on some people.

well i take tablets for arthritis almost daily, so that could be slowing me down i guess...

i wonder what i can take to get rid of a headache then, cos nothing is hitting it this last few days and it is certainly not a lack of water!!

Well. a headache? hmm I used to do the old pressure points at the back of the head at the bottom of the skull, both sides for 30 secs. If u do, do this, be near a chair because the first time you do it, you will feel light headed. But the plus side is with in a few minutes those heads will improve and go away. I used to be very popular in the firm I worked at doing this method for people. Damn I should have charged lol.

Not to sound all new-age frou-frou, but have you tried aromatherapy? A few sniffs of peppermint/lavender oil while taking a lie down has helped me. Also, those silky eye mask things filled with lavender flowers--I throw mine in the freezer for 30 mins or so before lying down with it.

No advice, just wanna send a hug, headaches are the worst! Caffeine usually helps mine.

maybe stop drinking the vodka!! that will get rid of the headache!! lol oops sorry you've already done that one!! hehe!!!

I normally just go to bed with all the blinds down and lights out and keep my head under the duvet!! that normally gets rid of it!

You dont think the headache could be something to do with your new glasses do you??? maybe they're too strong!!!
