do you take medicine when you suffer headache? When I have headache,I just rest and try to relax or sometimes have it massage ,I only take medication when I can't stand it anymore.I don't take any meds right away coz i don't want to be independent on the medication.

i also don't take medicines whenever i had a head ache, unless it's too much and if i have to drive. i don't want to be dependent to meds so i don't take any as long as it's still bearable. even for my scoliosis, i don't take my pain reliever if i can still stand the pain. for my head ache to be relieved, i'd rather have an hour of sleep for me relieved and be ready on the go.

Hi bestie, i wont do anything. Because every disease has its own reason. Even headache has its own cause or it may be act as a symptom. So i never try to take medicine, if i have mere headache. I try to contemplate about its cause then i take nap. Thanks

I just go and lie down and eventually fall asleep and I'll be okay. When I get headache is because lack of sleep...so I just go rest and sleep. No medication taken....the medicine is called sleep.heheh!!!

Yes.When I have a headache,I'll go to see a doctor and do as the doctor tells me.Head is very important to us all.It is the commander of the chief.We should regard it as our hearts and try to protect it as a treasure.

Hi! I don't always take medication when i have a headache, i will try and take a nap and hopefully feel better when i wake up but if i am at work or have lots of things to do and the pain is badthen i will take some paracetamol or something. It's not healthy to take lots of painkillers regularly as it can result in damage to you kidneys and/or liver but every now and then doesn't do any harm! Sometimes it's necessary to be able to just get on with life and i don't have time to feel ill and lie down so i have to take something for it!! Luckily i don't have headaches very oftne so it's not a big problem - i hope it isn't for you either!! xxx

I am sorry to hear that bestie. Yes I do sometimes go through this. This mostly happens due to my eating habits. When I don't eat for long I get headaches and I have to eat out my headaches..lol.. Just eat something if you are hungry. Sometimes we do not even understand also. And also you take some rest in a likeable environment. Get well soon.

I have this problem for many years due to my gastric proble. At first I try to bear it and when it becomes unbearable I take a pill (painkiller, which I have discovered from amoung many in market with the virue of my experience) and it goes away in 30 minutes around. Very rare the tablet is even not able to control it , then I try to reach home as soon as possible and sleep. Thanks/Ajay

Also next 2-3 days I avoid eating things which creates gas in my stomatch and it goes well.

i just slept hoping that it would go away. but recently i was given butterbur extracts by a friend of mine. it could be used to relieve headaches but beware of the side effects. you can find out more about this product if you read my discussion under title: "is it really necessary to do research before consuming herbal products?" happy posting.. :)

I lie on the floor with a soft cushion under my head, rub lavender oil into my temples - and listen to either Mozart's Eine Kleine Nacht Musak, or some middle-period Van Morrison. It doesn't work for very severe headaches though - for that I do reach for the painkillers.

When iv a headache, im on my nerves, I don't like being irritated nor disturbed, I simply have some rest, hoping it will be alright, if not, im then compelled to opt for medication :(

I usually sleep when i had headache and let someone massage my head. if no one, then I'll do it myself. If it is worst then I have to take my medicine.
