Headaches..

[medievaloracle]

So most of you know I get awful headaches. Not really the kind that make you curl up in a dark room for hours, but still unpleasant all the same. I called them sinus headaches, because my sinuses are almost constantly draining, and hey, my head almost always hurts so they must be connected, right? Sinus medicine doesn't really help all that much

So glad to hear you're getting a plan to tackle it! Good luck!

A heat pad on the back of the neck/upper shoulders also helps a tension headache. I also love to drink Celestial Seasonings' Tension Tamer tea (available at any grocery store) -- it tastes super yummy, and it really helps. Taking a super hot shower and letting the water hit the back of your neck/head can help. Remembering to stand up and stretch throughout the day -- roll your shoulders, stretch your arms -- can also help.

Love from your resident tension headache sufferer :)

Good luck and I am glad you did a little self advocacy-headaches are tricky creatures!

Good luck. Check to see if any little shops have a pillow with lavendor(?) and such in them,they can be warmed or chilled as needed. Warm is nice to use when your trying to sleep.

I really like my muscle relaxers (Rx, but very inexpensive) for my tension headaches... or an ice pack on my neck/shoulders...
