aww i know you don't like to take medication but here is some advice if this should happen again :D i worked for my DR for awhile and i suffer from bad headaches often. if you have a major headache or any major pain you should take 4 ibuprofin at one time. ( 4 over the counter is the same as one proscription strenigth) 4 at once, is stronger at combating pain then 4 taken over time. also, combing tynonal and iburofin is also very good at helping with a headache, and try some caffine too, it makes pain killer work better
i am sorry you feel like ass my darling, and i do hope this helps :D
I hope you feel better soon! If the suggestions in the comment above don't seem to touch the headache, consider medical help, even the ER on the weekend. Mengitis starts out like a bad headache that OTC drugs don't touch.
He does get migraines, but the differential should include meningitis if neck stiffness is involved. Or stroke, but he's not high risk for that.
You've got insurance now. Get a prescription for some migraine pills. They work good. I had a migraine last night, but I felt it coming so I took 3 advil and a relpax and was still able to go to dinner, though I felt weird for about an hour until the migraine was defeated. And I went to bed as soon as we got back.
Sometimes sudafed plus caffeine works for me. Assuming sudafed is still legal in your area :P
I've gotten two or three migraines in my life. They weren't of the "ohmygod the pain" variety, but more the "why is there a whole in my vision and why does my head feel funny?" type. Neck stiffness was no more than usual for a guy who has neck/shoulder issues. In any case, by evening I was up and around, with a mild headache still but able to function. Slept last night without drugs, still have a mild headache today but mostly I'm looking forward to my next chiropractic appointment.

Also my cold is much better today.
Thanks, all, for the concern. :)
