Dear head,

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.  

No love,
Me

*sigh* I wish I could share my migraine medication with you.

Try adding a decongestant to the mix and see if it helps. Tis the season for sinus headaches.

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!

*Sigh* No, it's not. And I just woke up and am working on day 3. I - want to bang my head against the wall, or something. It might help.

I wish so, too. Although the Vicoden helps, for a little bit.

That is a brilliant idea! I'm going to take something after I eat. I never even thought of that.

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.

Oh, I'm glad! I'm right there with on the "kill it before it starts" bus. *crosses fingers for a better day*
