Christmas/New Years Mystery Illness Roll Call Thread: Sensitives Enter

A lot of alarms went off in my head this week after suffering from my own version of this mystery illness and then getting feedback from a few different places and people.

My symptoms were headaches and loss of appetite.

No appetite is normal for me but I stopped having headaches from 2000 after I found use of a particular illegal plant lol. (I havent had one true migraine headache since I started smoking weed)

Also I dont get sick like other people so I thought that my headache and appetite loss were early flu sysmptoms but no other symptoms came.

The time period that I felt the worst was from Friday Dec 22nd to Monday Dec 25th and I havent been able to eat more than one meal worth of food a day since Wednesday Dec 27th to now. (I was coldsweating in the extreme Dec 22th and Dec 29th but thats another story)

The first time I just felt a bit off but I was concerned because my normal remedy for a headache didnt work.

Wetting of Hair ---> Sleep

or Wetting of Hair ---> Herbal Remedies ---> Sleep

I dont take painkillers except in extreme emergencies.


The second time was worse with very little relief except for maybe the first 10mins after smoking. I felt like I was being attacked or my brain was being overwhelmed. This second episode peaked on Tuesday and I have only been feeling better since Thursday morning. I have no headache now but still no appetie.


Anyway I know I am not the only person to suffer during this period. Two of my coworkers both have had their spouses diagnosed with Cluster Migraines this week. My friends wife has had them before but my other coworker's husband was found passed out slumped over his steering wheel on tuesday morning. The hospital ran all the tests and could find no virus or illness and could only suggest Cluster Migraines as the cause. When I enquired about the timing of the illness episodes with my coworkers they confirmed that it matched the times when I felt the worst.

Then I read a few posts on here about people feeling kinda funny around the same time period.

Also I currently live in London so I dont know if thats a factor. I do know that I can realistically categorize myself as a sensitive but I also medicate myself with cannabis for another reason and this makes my body respond slightly differently to others. I have a lot of things to consider and factor into how my body responds when stimulated so I try to factor in the experience of others to get a better picture of the whole.

So to make a long story short please contribute your experiences of around this time period if you think its applicable.

Also if we identify a pattern in timing and symptoms what could the cause be?
