What do you do for a bad headache?

Post by **darkeagle** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

I was wanting to know what you guys do for a headache? I have a bad headache right now. I've laid down to see if that would work, I've taken 2 tylenol for it but it still hurts. So I figured I just ask what you guys do for one, sorry for lame post just curious.

first log off and shut down the comp for the day ,if you have glasses keep those off too ,let your hair down...oh wait , headache...uhh...try drinking 2 12oz cans of coca cola , could be caffine related , tylenol ,if that all donesnt do it go out to the garage and grab the ball peen hammer and proceed to beat the tar out your little toe , will distract from the headache ...

stop staring at the computer, eat if you havne't recently, continue to let the medicine work, and sleep.

Might be, but I dunno. I've only had for today a glass of mountain dew, and 3 pepsi's. I had dinner which was good so I aint hungry. I laid down for an hour and tossed from side to side to get comfortable. I dont have any advil or whatever else you said above. Got plenty of tylenol though.

Just one thing about medicine though it makes me lil hyper but tired at the same time.

Think I'll just lay back down I doubt it will help. But worth a 2nd try. It doesnt hurt bad when I'm sitting still but if I move or anything its a pain in the rear end. Could explain why I bout passed out 2wice today. *shrugs* :pface

I got rid of the headache, thank goodness. I laid down listening to the Moe radio show on 102.9 the buzz. He's cool on there. hehe Well, guess i fell asleep some but its gone now.

I kept the room quiet and glad my brother didnt bother me for the cell so that helped. Thanks for suggestions

I take two or three Excedrin and lay down in a dark room and sleep it off if I can.

drink some more of the snake that bit ya, rub one out, pop some advil gel caps then crash in bed for about another 3 hours

Post by **darkeagle** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

I cant have any asprin medicine or excedrin. I took excedrin once and i ran fever of 102, turned red in the face, was literally shaking and had chills from it for couple hours and mom took me to the ER but the one part of it was packed and mom was like will you be alright and I was out of it most of the time and I said yeah and she took me back to the house and she gave me some kind of medicine might have been tylenol something to break the fever and i remember lying on the bed and fell asleep.

Next morning I was alright. But I cant have anything with asprin I'm allergic. My doc has gave me Amoxicillin for the flu and it made me sick as a dog for a whole 2weeks. I couldnt keep food down, and it was not good thing. I had sinus medicine I took with it and turns out I was getting extra dose of antihistamine and my body was rejecting the amoxicillan. lol d@mn doctor. I did change docs from that. I just have to watch about the asprin crap.

Post by **darkeagle** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

Well its gone and I feel better, think I took 30 ro 40 min nap earlier. Sometimes it doesnt work though but this one wasnt so bad.

:boink

Works for me!

Post by **skydragoness** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

good to hear it went away

but i think caffeine is a head-ache inducer, since it constricts the blood vessels in your head

ibuprofren does good, as it is a coagulate (sp?) and helps dialate your blood vessels i believe and increases flow ( i feel like i am talking about a car here, hehe

)

as for me, i usually just wait it off, or find something to do to take my mind off of it (like driving on twisty roads

)

i try not to take pain relievers because i don't want to become dependent on them

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

Caffeine accelerates the absorbtion and distribution of whatever medication you take. Can help or exacerbate a headache, depending on your physiology.

Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory agent. Doesn't have anything to do with being an anti-coagulant but more with it's ability to reduce swelling and relieve muscle tension.

Like I said above, :boink cures almost anything!

so true! for example, when the room begins to spin after trying to pass out because you just spent the last 11 hours doing keg stands...try a little boinking to put ya to sleep without all the ralfing.

Post by **skydragoness** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

well i guess i'll have to consider that next time i get a headache

seriously though, caffeine makes things worse...for me at least

Post by **Bubba1** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

Caffeine is also mildly addictive. I'll get a headache if I don't have my morning fix of caffeine (coffee or diet coke). AZ is right on the money but when that option isn't available, old fashioned apirin is my backup.

Post by **darkeagle** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

Yeah but I cant take asprin (allergic to it). And I dont feel like running fevers and chills and having lil shakes b/c thats what it does to me. lol Uhh hmm I'll keep that in mind next time AZ and Mayhem. lol :pface

I have gone a month before with no caffine drinks. Let me say my mom thought I was sick or seriously thought something was wrong with me b/c I acted strangley. She said I acted "normal" as in I wasnt like hyper or bouncy sometimes and even offered me some coke or mountaindew. I had to go a month without it b/c I get very bad bladder infections and if I drink to many my body will lack water and causes infection sometimes like kiddney and all. I've had like couple kidney infections b/c of cold drinks (not suppose to have them now and red meat b/c of cholestrol oh well) But usually music and not having people around helps me most of the time. But yeah again I'll keep that in mind lol

"but i think caffeine is a head-ache inducer, since it constricts the blood vessels in your head"

sometimes thats true , in my case 90%of mine and my mothers headaches are cured with 2 12oz cans of coke classic , might be some genetic fluke , oor it becase were caffine addicted , i know i am , used to clear out a 24 pack of dew every day , doc told me to quit doing that after i got my second ulcer , told me to stop drinking alcohol too but he can go stuff it on that

Post by **Mayhem_J30** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

the alcohol counteracts the caffiene by thining that blood so it can go through your constricted blood vessels. beer just might have saved your life

Post by **Stoneage_Turbo** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

hahaha , hell yah beer rules

Post by **RYNO_s13** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

Here's how it works, Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It will raise your heart rate and consequently, blood pressure. Elevated blood pressure will cause a headache. It is in excedrin to speed up the heart to move the aspirin. The aspirin thins your blood and causes the caffeine to make you a bit jittery.Not very conducive to sleeping it off. Alcohol is a CNS depressant. Has the opposite effect of caffeine and aspirin. Now, let's try some blends. Caffeine + alcohol= Drunk, without the sleepies. Caffeine+alcohol+aspirin= Even drunker with no sleepies, and reduced hangover. Ephedrine+Caffeine+Aspirin(Xenadrine)+Alcohol= REALLY drunk, no sleep, Severe hangover, and a good chance of not remembering ANYTHING. That being the case, try Chamomile, Catnip, Green Tea, dim lights, elevating your head, cool (not cold) compress. Mild things get rid of the mild headaches. for the bad migranes, I reccomend Oxycontin. BTW, Sex is by far the best natural pain reliever.

Yeah all seems good but yet me doing that with the asprin would really give me an effect. Add in to that allergic to asprin. What would happen if I do that?? lol And I never had beer before so I dunno how much it take to get me drunk and all :pface lol

Post by **PalmerWMD** » Mon Jan 06, 2003 4:31 pm

A ofetn overlooked cause of headaches is dehydration.Most PPL are dehydrated most of the time.Drink Cold water, Gatorade.

Dribble?? lol I like his show. Yeah most things I dont agree with but hey other times I do. Now about the dog shooting now I dont agree with him on that but other than that I listen to it. Its not just him I listen to I love the music. Well, until tonight when my brother let the stupid cats break my stereo antenna off. :angryfire

Now besides buying what I wanted to get I have to add new stereo. But its not all the show I listen to I like the music on 102.9.
