Stupid-head
I've had a headache - on just the right side of my head, right at my temple - for going on three days now. Sleep hasn't seemed to help; today I took allergy medicine, Drixoral, Excedrin, Maxalt (a migraine medication) and Advil and NONE of these remedies has done anything. (Worry not: I took them at one point or another throughout the day, not all at once!)
I am not amused.
Anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of this stupid pain?? I'd stand on my head at this point if I thought it might help... :-P

Hey Zee
Try taking another dose or two(at the indicated times) of the Maxalt and drink a cup or two of regular coffee(tomorrow am not tonight :)) sometimes a muscle relaxer helps as well. Hope you feel better soon!!

Oooh be careful with the Maxalt. It can cause terrible rebound headaches. Try an intermittant ice pack tonight. Get Better!

I've got nothing to offer other than the caveman method...drop something heavy on your left foot, creating pain, which will distract you from the headache. THIS, my friend, is why I am no longer allowed to practice as a "real" nurse...LOL
Feel better soon...

i don't have experience with migraines, but if 3 extra strength excedrin (the ones with caffeine, "tylenol" and aspirin) don't fix my headache, i usually give up and just wait for it to be over.
also, drink a lot of water because being dehydrated can cause headaches or make them worse and traveling as you are tends to dehydrate people.
