Please to stop hurting any time now. I gave you Chinese food. I gave you pop. I even gave you a fucking Vicoden. Virgin sacrifices are not acceptable. So please, be kind and stop pretending you are going to explode.
Since I usually don't get headaches that can't be cured with 2 OTC painkillers (3 if it's really bad) I'm probably not going to be much help.
I've found that pressing my thumbs into the orbital bones around my eyes (under the ridge of bone where my eyebrows reach my nose) as hard as I can for as long as I can stand it and then releasing can make a huge difference. I tend to repeat 3 to 6 times. If that doesn't help, I pinch that spot on my hand between my thumb and first finger meet. (Trace the bones back into your palm and find that vee where your thumb meets your index finger, move forward one fingertip and SQUEEZE hard.)
Both options hurt like whoa if you've done them right but when you release (at least for me) most if not all of the headache magically goes with it.
I hope it helps. It surely can't hurt. Feel better darling! *huggles* Bronwyn
I did try the one with the thumb and finger yesterday but it didn't help, but I when I tried the one with eyes it did. Thank you for that! Here's hoping I can kill today's headache before it really gets started.
