The Hidden Danger of a Sudden, Severe Headache
Most primary type headaches like migraine, cluster and tension headaches can be treated at home with over
the counter pain relievers or prescription drugs: HOWEVER, a sudden severe headache is another story.
Sudden and severe headaches require immediate evaluation.
Headaches that require immediate attention are rare, but failure
to treat them can be fatal. A sudden crushing headache in adults
older than 50 who have no history of headaches can be a sign of
a serious life-threatening condition. It could signal a serious
condition, such as an ischemic stroke or an infection like meningitis. In fact, stroke symptoms can be mistaken for those of a
migraine. An excruciating headache can also be a sign of a
subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This is deep bleeding between
the brain and the thin tissues that cover it. An SAH, considered a
type of stroke, is often caused by a ruptured brain aneurysm,
which occurs when a weakened blood vessel swells and burst.
This cuts off the blood supply to the brain. SAH are rare, but a
missed or delayed diagnosis is common and can be fatal. Early
diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhages is critical to survival and
to pre-empting short-term complications like recurrent bleeding
and vasospasm (reduced blood flow to the brain).
Anyone age 40 or older who experiences one of more of the following should be
evaluated:
 Your headache comes on suddenly and is the worst headache you have ever had.

You have speech, vision, movement or balance problems.

You have a stiff neck or fever.

Your headache is accompanied by nausea or vomiting.

Your headache develops upon exertion.

You have a head injury.

Your headache affects one eye, with redness in that eye.

Endowment Fund
Friends of the Wood County Committee on
Aging are reminded that for many years the
Endowment Fund has been the recipient of gifts
to honor and memorialize friends and relatives.
Over the past several years, the generous gifts of
community organizations, families, and
individuals, augmented by money from the
Endowment Fund, were directed to the Kitchen
Project. That success of the project has assured
that the WCCOA will be able to continue to
provide congregate and home delivered meals to
a growing number of older adults in Wood
County. As in the past, WCCOA welcomes gifts
to the Endowment Fund to memorialize family
members and to honor people in the WCCOA
network of volunteers and professionals in the
Wood County Community.

What are YOU thankful for? Coming to the
end of the year, we always think about Thanksgiving,
but do we ever ask ourselves what we are thankful
for? This year, I am extremely thankful I have a job;
work with wonderful, caring individuals; and, last but
not least, have a bountiful basket of volunteers who
understand what it means to “give of oneself!” In an
article in ScienceDaily entitled Motives Matter:
Why We Volunteer Has an Impact On Our Health,
it states, “People who give, live longer, studies have
shown. Now, a new study shows that why people
volunteer – not whether they volunteer – is what really
counts.” The article further states, “People who
volunteer because they want to help others, live longer
than people who don’t volunteer at all.”
Hmmm….makes sense to me!
Okay, so you are unable to deliver meals.
Have you thought about going into the senior center in
your neighborhood and asking to help with lunch set
up or clean up? How about teaching a knitting or
crocheting class? Or, guys, how about teaching a class
on a card game or a board game or a sport? Do you
have a family member who is good with organizing?
Let’s use our imagination!! With the holidays, we can
all use this time to create some inexpensive gifts for
family and friends.
I am thankful for the more than three hundred
volunteers (combined total) at ALL the sites! Wood
County has some truly awesome residents who, by
nature, have impacted many lives. WCCOA has done
many programs with the very young to programs for
the older residents – and every age bracket in between.
I can see why volunteers who help others live longer –
it’s rewarding both ways!
Help is always accepted. And, if the truth be
known, not only do “many hands make the work go
faster” but it makes it FUN! Please join us and see for
yourself. Give me a call – Jackie Metz, Volunteer
Coordinator, 419.353.5661 or 1.800.367.4935. I’d
love to talk with YOU!
