I've had the WORST throbbing headache all weekend (that doesn't even go away with tylenol), and it's still there today. I called the doctor this morning since my fingers also started to swell this weekend (my ring is 1/2 size too big, and it's suddenly so tight that it leaves an indent), and with those two sudden symptoms combined, they wanted me to come in ASAP this morning to check my BP.
Well, I had to wait for my manager to show up at work (he picked today to be 2 1/2 hours late...he told me he was going to be an hour late, and then texted me 5 mins before he walked through the door, saying, oops, I meant 9:30, not 8:30), but as soon as he got there and I told him what was going on, he said to go ahead and just leave right then (and I hope he felt like a jacka.ss for being so late and making me wait--he's actually late quite often, just usually not as late as today).
Anyway, they checked my BP, and it's only 112/60 (normal for me), no protein in my urine, so she gave me a prescription for butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine, and even though I took it over an hour ago, my headache is still there, ugh! I'm not dehydrated, so that's not what's causing it either. So frustrating!!

Coke usually helps me. Drink a coke and take a bath and lay down in a dark room. I feel for you!
