I’ve been trying to do a post since 7 am when I woke up with a massive headache, on which NOTHING has worked.
I’m officially giving up and tabling the post till Monday.
I should be working and am being held hostage by a headache. I’m very, very annoyed.
Anyway, try not to break anything. I’ll be back.
It’s fine.
These things happen.
Take care.

Headaches, I hear you. Migraine, altitude, barometric pressure changes….I was very pleased to confirm (for myself, if not officially known to medicine) that altitude sickness medicine works on barometric pressure headaches. I realized they felt the same – worse than a double migraine, like my brain was too small for my skull, so I tried the altitude medicine. It worked.
Take care, live quietly until it is gone.

It was recently suggested to me to try placing peppermint oil on my temple when I have a headache. Of course, any headaches I’ve had since then I’ve been away from home so haven’t tried it. I do use accupressure points on my hands when I get migraines to dull the pan a bit, and decrease the nausea enough to try to keep the painkillers down.

You have my sympathy. Today, both my husband and I have the ‘not quite a headache, but might be one soon’. I suspect something is in the air in town, as it didn’t go away when we went out to the store.

Re. the headaches: Are you B12 deficient? I have occasional migraines, and lived with almost daily headaches for most of my adult life until I got off of modern, non-organic wheat and a few other things. Corn turned out to be a bugaboo, too, especially GM corn, which is hard to avoid. Anyway…headaches started coming back about a year ago. Nasty, non-migraine head squeezers that a nap and a glass of water couldn’t touch. I’d just wake up in more pain. CBD/THC tincture and Advil was all that would kill it. Then my naturopath said it sounded like B12 deficiency. In less than a week on a B12 tincture the headaches were gone, and now I don’t get them except when triggered by big stress/bad dietary choices. Apparently sublingual is the only way to go. “Methyl Factors” (I order from Amazon) is the best solution (pun) I’ve found so far. A dropper full under the tongue every AM.

Soy can trigger headaches, too. A friend realized that the only time she didn’t get headaches was a Pennsic…where for two weeks she was not exposed to soy products.
I’m sorry, too. Menopause seems to have killed my almost migraines, but I remember them well.
