How long is too long for a headache?

I started getting a headache during christmas - and attributed it to my annoying family.  But, it's still here! 

Tylenol works for a few hours, but it is still coming back!

hmm if tyelnol is working, it's probably just a 'normal' headache. are you having any other symptoms: swelling, seeing floaters/ blurry vision?

LOL, no Dr.  Just a 'normal' headache. I just want it to go away!

I've had a headache for 3 weeks now. ?It's kind of like the headaches you get if you stare at a computer screen all day or watch a movie without your glasses....it never goes away, even with Tylenol 3 that the doc gave me, it's still there. ?I have extreme swelling (have since start of 2nd tri) and borderline high BP....no blurred vision or protein in my urine which are two definite signs of pre-e. ?I'd give your doc a call tomorrow just to be safe, but as long as it's just a headache....I think that's what it is....just a headache! ?Sorry, I know, it sucks!!!!!

OMG, 3 weeks!  I'd cry.

ditto- if tylenol is actually helping- then it's not a migraine... b/c tylenol really does nothing for migraine - i swear that it makes things worse!

if you can't get anything done b/c of the pain and it keeps going on- i'd call the doc tomorrow and see what they can do for you.

I'm on day 3 of a migraine - which is not uncommon for me during pg - even with the Rx meds they give me. It sucks.

try an ice pack... dark room, some caffiene.

feel better!
