Me too. :( I've had a pinched nerve in my neck for the past two weeks and it's giving me some award-winning headaches.

People tell me I would know if I had a migraine because it's above and beyond any typical headache. Is that true?

excedrin always kicks it for me.


excedrin is good stuff. unforunately I don't have anything at all and have to use a buddy's stuff in the next cubicle. He's a big advil fan.

The headache you described doesn't sound like a migraine. Migraines are typically in the eye area and not starting from the neck. Yours sounds like a tension headache. Migraines often make you want to curl up in a dark, quiet room (light and sound make it worse) and you can feel nauseous.

If you have a really bad headache with a stiff neck, see your doctor. That can be a sign of meningitis.

Got access to any caffeine? Coke, coffee, etc.

Thanks, well I don't think it's a migraine then. And my neck isn't stiff, more sore.

I'm cool with light and sound but I am a bit nauseous. Staring at this bloody CRT is helping matters either.

I get headaches lately which feels like constant pain (as opposed to throbbing) on the top of my eyeballs. Like I could roll my eyes downward and gently massage the top of my eye and it actually feels better for a while.

what could that be all about?

eye strain?
sinus?

That's the impression I got from people who gt them.

Sucks, part of it is looking at this old 21" Hyundia CRT at work all day long. it's my main monitor where I do my photoshop stuff so I can't get around looking at it. Hurts my eyes.

I've had migraines for along time. You won't look at a compy screen if you have one. You'll go lie down or throw up.

Eat something and drink something. Take the rest of the day off.
