When you have a headache do you like being pampered or being left alone

When I have a bad headache I prefer being alone and left alone till it goes away. I don't like to talk too much or watch TV. Luckily I rarely have a headache. Some people like being massaged, getting a head rub and in general being a little pampered. What do you like when you have a headache (besides an aspirin!)

I would rather be alone and in bed while I put menthol camphor everywhere it hurts, but that only happens when migraine sets in after a mild headache..i don't want anybody else in the room, want it quiet and peaceful because even a little noise makes my head spin around..I don't want anybody touching me, because even a slight movement of the bed or my body makes my head hurt even more. I don't wanna talk, I just wanna lie down and close my eyes until I fall asleep, so I won't feel it hurting anymore.. I am not a fan of quick relief medicines, because I am a diabetic and i have high tolerance for pain..I'd rather drink hot coffee or hot milk to make me perspire then I would get a piece of tissue, roll it until it becomes skinny and shove it on my tiny nostrils, to help me sneeze out the pressure that is building on my head..After a few sneezes and it was successful, I will feel light headed then i would sleep it off...

Tissue up your nose - interesting thing to do. Does it work?

for me, it really works..the tissue helps to tickle your nose and sneeze out the pressure that is building in your head..Sometimes, headache is also caused by sinusitis..So, it serves a double purpose, release the pressure in your head and in the nose..When it's because of sinusitis, mucus will also come out and will help relieve your clogged nose...you won't even notice that a cold is about to turn up unless you have a headache first...try it and you'll see what i mean..you will fell light headed and would be able to sleep peacefully...

Two words, darkness and silence! That is all I want when I have a headache, besides for it to go away. I am a true b*tch when I have a headache, and I mean it!!! I feel like biting anyone who comes to mess with me, as I almost did my brother this morning lol. I want people to leave me alone, be still, be quiet, and let me ride it out if it happens to be one of those migraines that meds will not help. Lord help you if you turn on anything that is loud, and if you call me get ready to be cussed out big time!!!

Dear friend, I would like to left alone and more a massage would do better too. Mostly when I have headache I use vicks or just try to have a good sleep. More over I would try to avoid talks with others or to watch tv or avoid sounds. After waking from a good sleep could help me out form that mess most often.

I get migrains and it is not pretty. I can't stand light or sound. I get very sick to my stomack. So I tend to go to bed and not be disturbed by anything. But I also have birds and they don't alway be quite when i am sick so i have to put them in their cage and cover them up so that they will be quite.

Migraine is a terrible thing to have - especially with tweeting birds around
