Headaches
So I get these headaches, maybe once or twice a month, usually. They're not migraines in the 'oh my god if I move my head I'm going to vomit' sense that a lot of my friends with true migraines have described, but they're worse than regular headaches. Pounding ache in what feels like my whole head and sensitivity to light and any kind of loud or unexpected sound. Ibuprofen does just about nothing to help. Excedrin helps some, but not enough. I *can* function when I have them, but it's hard, especially when I'm at work with the bright florescent lights and the computer screen.
I woke up with one this morning and ended up taking a half day off work - just looking at the computer screen long enough to email my boss and say I would be in late made me wince. An extra couple of hours in bed with the covers over my head and I felt better enough to come in for the second half of the day, although the headache is still a dull roar in the back of my brain and I really wish I had sunglasses I could wear because the lights are beginning to get to me.
Anyone else have headaches like this? And what do you do for them? Any suggestions?
