Pass the ibuprofen please...
I'm allergic to aspirin.
Well now isn't this interesting?
A day to celebrate headaches...when all we normally want to do is get rid of them.
I get headaches all the time. Tension headaches, sinus headaches, hunger headaches, and once or twice a year I get a visual aura migraine (also called orbital migraine) where my vision goes wacko for about 20 minutes. I get headaches in clusters....every day for several days to a week and then sometimes can go a week or two without one.
I hate taking medication....I do not take any prescription meds and rarely even take a vitamin but thank God for Advil when my headaches get really bad.
How interesting that there is a patron saint!
How appropriate (was at Kevin's last night, very long night
) Real Estate is going to be such fun today
I'm getting a headache just thinking of all the chores to be done today ! Good day for headache day !
I'm heading out into the stores today. No early bird specials so my headaches should be at a minimum - as long as Emma cooperates and lets Mom & Auntie do their thing.
Seger -- on rare occasions I get that visual aura thing, it's very odd and disconcerting, especially when driving. I suspect it's somewhat hormonal, but fortunately I don't get it EVERY month....
My sinus headaches tend to coincide with changes in the weather -- I feel like I have a barometer in my head, and also hormonal cycles. Extra strength Tylenol usually does it, but sometimes it's nice to have an excuse to call in sick.

Margaux,
They are usually a combination of three factors.....stress, sleep deprivation, and hormonal changes. When I get one it's always two out of these three that brings it on.
Thankfully, I've never had a migraine, but my sister used to get them going thru puberty.
It was quite upsetting watching her sweating and writhing on my parents' bed talking gibberish like some foreign language! She was 11 or 12. She would see a light and get numb and a headache would come on her.
She sometimes jokes about how she thought she was reincarnated or somebody else was talking thru her, because on her first occasion, she was in 5th grade, I think, and she walked up to her teacher to let him know what was going on and she wasn't making sense, talking out of her head. She said to him something like, "Hand me my musket." LOL
She thinks she used to be a Civil War soldier or something!
It never ceases to amaze me each day what appears on here for "Celebrate the Date"!
Who woulda thunk it...days for bittersweet chocolate, x-rays, and now headaches!
