My head is pounding...grr. I really don't like headaches!

I get a lot of headaches and hate them. I have an aromatherapy buckwheat eye mask that is hand made. It is big and can be put in the microwave or frozen depending on which makes you feel better. They say cold is better for headaches but I always warm it and then put it over my eyes and relax with sounds of the ocean or the rain. I have several nature CDs and also a sound machine that mimics nature sounds. The two together really work. The heat and scent on my eyes and head and the relaxing sounds help A LOT. You can see the eye mask I have at www.comfortbags.com. There are lots of different types you can buy at other places but this one does the trick for me.

Me too, I really hate it when my head is aching. I usually experience it during long hours of traveling riding in a bus or jeepney. Or sometimes when it is too hot or I lack of sleep. I usually have medicine at home so I can take it anytime that I will be needing it. I guess you should do the same. You really cant concentrate on anything (even in making sleep) when yourre head is aching.

Are you a coffee addict? i get bad headaches when i dont have my coffee fix for the day. If that isn't it then the only thing I do is take a tablet and sleep it off - it works for me!

i have ever had that feeling too. you know, at that time, nothing can help you, you can not sleep because of headache, also you can do nothing because of it. i am really surprise how could you still be on the computer since your head is pounding. if i were you, i will lie down even cant sleep. before computer may make you more uncomfortable. when that happened to me in the night, i always said to myself, tomorrow will be fine. if during the day, i would have a cup of coffee, that will help.

when i have headaches i massage my temple in a circular motion. if you have ointment like vicks put a little amount on your temple then massage it. i dont know if it will work for you but it has been effective for me so far,..
