Anyone ever had this ?

I got the 1st one a month ago, as soon as I ejaculated. It was like getting hit over the back of the head with a cricket bat. I thought I was having a subarachnoid haemorrhage eek It absolutely scared the living daylights out of me. It went away after a few hours so I suspected it wasn't too serious.

So, I gave myself the acid test (alone in the shower, you know how it goes !), and wallop ! same again.

I spoke to a GP who diagnosed benign post coital headache; a not uncommon condition. It lasts as long as it lasts, and may return at any time.

Now I like sex as much as the next man, but I can tell you, just the thought of another one put me right off. It is truly horrifying.

I seem to be over it now, (after 3 weeks abstinence) thank God, but the worry is still there.

Any other sufferers on here ?

Had this before.

Doc prescribed a weeks course of powerful anti inflammatory pills, stopped after a day of taking the pills and hasn't returned since.

For me it was like someone inserting an ice pick in my right temple. Not pleasant.

Might one of your golf bats have fallen out of the overbed cupboard...?
