headaches!
Hi Jennifer my name is Teri, or Tee. Do you have a migraine? I have those alot too and there are times when Tylenol just won't cut it. I've had to go the ER for a shot of phinegran and something really, really strong. That was the worse case scenario.
Sometimes when I am trying to sleep with that head pain, I can drink some peppermint/chamonile tea and take some Tylenol a little bit after that. Usually the best thing that works though is to just take some deep breathes, put a warm eye pack or wash cloth over you eyes and try to just 'relax'. I know it is easier said than done, but for a 'fix' to make it any better that helps me sometimes. Usually after 3 days I've pretty much started to be taken to the ER. Have you been able to sip something with caffeine? It is weird but caffeine can help a headache sometimes, not always but sometimes.
Turn off the lights, get rid of sound, if you have glasses take them off and turn the TV and computer off. I can lay flat on my back and just thing about breathing and it will sometimes take my mind off of the pain. I know it is misery but take little tiny steps might make it better.
Make sure you see you doc a.s.a.p. I hope you feel better. Maybe stop the Tylenol for a day or so, I have taken it and become sort of 'immune' to it and it just doesn't work and I get frustrated and then the headache would get worse. Try a different approach. I do hope you feel better. I have certainly been there, I've had to sit in the living room in sun glasses before - it does get better though. Just try and relax.
Tee
