Best cure for a headache?

[ACV]

I have a thumping headache today...other than popping pills (which I've done already) what's the best way to get rid of it? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

 

[islandman]

Sleep.

 

[parodyluvr75]

Coffee.

 

[islandman]

Lobotomy/beheading.

Hmmm...contradicting advice! If I have coffee I won't sleep. But if I sleep I can't stay up and waste time on lit...

Stop staring at your screen, get out and get some fresh air. Neck massage. Try to sit/walk properly, tension in shoulder and neck muscles can result in headaches.
Drink plenty of water or natural juices. Have some coffee or cola.
If its happening often check your pillow and talk to your doctor.

Forgot one, a wet cold towel on the forehead, that one helps me usually.

If you go with Iman's other option, you won't need sleep or coffee.

Sitting too long in front of the computer is the guaranteed path to a headache for me.

I second StrayKat on get up, get some exercise, a hot bath and a massage.

It's probably the cheapest option...

Thank you! Thankfully it's not a regular thing, maybe I'm just dehydrated, water should do the trick!

A neck massage sounds like the best option though!

I prefer to get to the root cause of a problem.

A lot of water. Many times headaches are a sign of dehydration. Coffee will not help with that.

Getting your eyes off a computer/phone or any electronic device we are all glued to these days helps as well.

ETA I did not see someone beat me to it. Oh, well good intentions anyway,

Water and sleep. Just in case you hadn't read that enough already in this thread.

Everyone that's telling me to go to sleep...you're just trying to get rid of me right?

I didnt....

Now you're giving ME a headache.

Have some water and go to sleep dear.

 

[THROBBS]

Hands and/or feet in warm water and ice pack (frozen peas) on back of neck.

Might need helping hand. or to learn over the sink and just do hands.

No one likes a guy who pretends to have a headache to get his flirty on.

 

[Disgustipated]

Don't pretend to be the better looking guy than you are in your avatar.

 

[islandman]

I happen to have much more hair than the guy in my AV, tyvm.

Zzz.

No, it's a beaut Saturday morning.

Crisp and sunny. Actually, it's a great day to get the pushy out and go for a ride.

Winter shminter!

Most likely, you'll save on hats.

Looks like he likes your direct approach.

I'd say a nice long hot shower. Something to eat--for my migraines I usually try some sort of protein.
God bless endorphins. There's irony in so many women using headaches as an excuse to avoid sex--nothing helps my migraines as much as an orgasm.

He's likely fast asleep.

Either that or frantically perusing xhamster in search of a release of endorphins.
