oohwee my friends. i have a killer headache today. i think it's the weather.
what kind of things cause you headaches...and what do you do to take care of those headaches?
a lot of times i have to take some kind of pain reliever and then sleep almost ALWAYS helps. but i get headaches from weather changes, and sinus pressure, to stress, and then even just everyday happenings. how about you?

Headache is generally caused because of less sleep, weather change, cold and sometimes its alergy. They are many causes of it. But as you say that you catch that because of weather change then you must take care of your health stop taking more tablets of headache. My mom faces the same problem, every three days she gets headache and she has to take a pill to come out from that, without pill she can't get out of that.
So, dear better consult your family doctor and try to avoid pills please......

oh goodness yes. i agree. i don't take pills too often. i hate pills. i think that's why sometimes i CAN'T get rid of the headaches, cuz i won't take a pill. i take one when i just can't handle it anymore. but i haven't even taken one yet today for my headache. i know it's cuz i have some stuff on my mind, and it'll be gone in the morning. i need to get some rest too! thank you for your concern! and for your response!!

My mom really suffers from this problem, she keeps dozens of pills in her purse to come out of headache. We all family members ask her to stop taking pills but she can't just give up.

yes, there has to be another way for her. popping a ton of pills can make so much more worse down the line. too much of anything isn't good...i hope you guys find something else for her instead.

Hi Frecklelip334,
Today is a headache day for me as well,and it's killing me, so I will not be able to do all that I have to and write as much as I usually would. I am so tired of this terrible thing called migraine, headache, etc. i am having it so often, and have tried all the medicines one could think off, but with limited results.
I am having headaches daily, and some are worse than others, and as long as the headache doesnt get ll over my head, including my eyes i am able to work on the computer. When my eyes have it however I am unable to, and have to go in my DARK ROOM, the bedroom, and try getting asleep. The worst part is wehen i open my eyes after being awake and the headache is not gone...
Oh well, I will keep looking for the miracle cure and will keep looking for it until I find it, as i am sure I will, one day.
Take care and God Bless

sometimes i think sitting at the computer causes it. staring at the screen and concentrating on words can do that! ha, in my case anyway!! if you're having full blown migraines and often, maybe you should go to the doc? that can be scary! i too hate going to sleep and waking up with the same headache as well. it's so frustrating. plz take care of yourself though. thank you for responding my friend!

Hi again Frecklelip :) One thing is I have gone to doctors too many times to mention. And have been at different hospitals for weeks, and have had so many exams done on my poor head, like 9 MRI scans in the during 12 years, and other types of exams that are hard to count anylonger. When medics weren't able to give me an adequate cure I turned to the nature medics, witches and whatnot, some of it helped for a short period of time, and some didn't at all. I started learning REIKI and got good at it too, for others however, and not for myself. But I am not going to give up hope and will continue on my search for an adequate cure :)

rapid change in the weather also gives me a headache. especially if from a rain changed to a sunny day, it will definitely make my head ache! and then waking up after a very short sleep also makes my head ache. even just waking up all of a sudden by the lights turned on so suddenly. ^__^;;
and of course, staying too much in front of the tv or the computer. ^__^ this one i cant avoid. LOL

I usually get headaches when I have not had enough sleep. I have to sleep again to get rid of it and if that doesn't work, then tylenol seems to work for me :)

sleep seems to be a big one here. i agree. i slept off the headache, felt better the next morning. we're having a major change in weather again though, so last night i had another killer headache but felt better this morning being cooler and all outside. i think the heat really gets to me...and my head!! yesterday was H.O.T.!!

usually when my period around, my headache start kicking. or once or twice a month just because lack of sleep. usually i just take tylenol, and that's it. I never take a nap when I get headache, cause after i wake up usually it get worse.

oh yea, lack of sleep that's a good one too. pure exhaustion doesn't help! it'll go down to my neck and back even. not fun pain! stinks that sleep doesn't help for you. sometimes that's the only thing that helps me. thank you for your input!!!

I always get tension headaches, I will usually take Tylenol or Advil, and lay down with a hot rice pack for the back of my neck, or a will take a warm bath and just soak for a while.
