I would think straight forward would be the way to go, but have it your way.

Run 1 mile while holding a cup of coffee.

If that doesn't work try alleve.

Just don't try drilling a hole in your head to relieve the pressure...

If you did something else... like kick your bare foot against a door really hard, then you won't be worrying about your headache anymore.

Usually taking some acetaminophen or ibuprofen (400-600 mg depending on headache pain level) with some full-sugar caffeinated pop (Pepsi or Coke) will knock one out. If it's absolutely disabling pain, substitute Excedrin for the above pills. Well, the generic equivalent of Excedrin...I usually don't waste money on name brands (but in a pinch, those quick-dissolve Excedrin that don't need water come in handy...they are nasty tasting though.)

**CONFIRMED** you're a whiny little pansy if you're "suffering" from anything less than a migrane.

If it is a migraine, then go lie down in a dark, quiet room.

Add a cold compress to that and you'll be feeling better in no time.

Ibuprofen and excedrin, acetaminophen, are different, and why ibuprofen, because it works better in my experience.

Ibuprophen sucks. Extra Strength Tylenol!!!

Why not generic? It's the same stuff.....

amish


i used to say that emphatically & always took generic - but the headaches didn't seem to go away as readily.

IMO, excedrin has the right aspirin/caffeine amounts & ratio.
plus, the coating is such that you can have 'em in your mouth for awhile without
gagging 'cause they're dissolving.

Every generic has the same ratio as the name-brand, in my experience.

What the hell is that?




This is a case of a Japanese man from Gifu Prefecture who complains incessantly about a persistent headache. Mr. Shota Fujiwara loves his sashimi and sushi very much to the extent of trying to get them as "alive and fresh" as can be for his insatiable appetite. He developed a severe headache for the past 3 years and has put it off as migraine and stress from work. It was only when he started losing his psycomotor skills that he seeks medical help. A brain scan and x-ray reveals little however. But upon closer inspection by a specialist on his scalp, the doctor noticed small movements beneath his skin. It was then that the doctor did a local anesthetic to his scalp and discovered the cause when tiny worms crawled out. A major surgery was thus immediately called for and the extent of the infestation was horrific. See the attached pictures to the scene that one thought only a movie could produced.

Remember, tapeworms and roundworms and their eggs which abounds in all fishes fresh or saltwater can only be killed by thorough cooking and/or freezing the fish to between 4 degC - 0 degsC. The eggs of these parasites can only be killed if it is cooked or frozen to the said temperatures for a week or more. Think twice about that raw dish next time...or you might get a headache.

Another reason I hate to eat Sushi.
