Headache remedies

I remember reading about this last week, but I can't find the original post now. I wake up with headaches almost every morning. I usually only take 1 Tylenol (even though it's on the safe list, it still freaks me out), but I'm just tired of having to take Tylenol right when I wake up. And even one Tylenol doesn't kick it completely. Do you have any suggestions/remedies that work for you? Do you even have this problem? I don't even know if it's pregnancy related. I used to get headaches a lot before I had my wisdom teeth out, but they disappeared when they were extracted in February. They have now reappeared with a vengeance over the last week and a half but they feel different. Sorry if this is muddled. My head hurts. 
Because you're mine, I walk the line....

    Call your OB.  Mine prescribed Fioricet.  I can't say it's been a remedy at this point but it helps.  I've had the same headache off and on since last Sunday. 

    I both ours get better soon!

    I've been trying to take only 1 tylenol a day, yesterday I had a Pepsi and that helped for a little bit but it was back last night. My OB told me to call if it gets too bad and she will call me in something.

    Yes, Coke has done soooo much more for me than Tylenol! Nurse one for an hour or two. Also, there is a pressure point in your hands that is supposed to relieve headaches, so look that up.

    Do you wear contacts? I've started wearing mine less and my headaches have subsided quite a bit.

    A few ideas: caffeine, two Tylenol Smile, warm washcloth on your forehead, cold washcloth if warm doesn't work, a shower (steam sometimes helps). If your doctor is OK with Sudafed, try taking one if you think the headache might be related to congestion.

    My Dr. also told me that if caffeine is what used to work, then by all means, have a can of pepsi/coke and some tylenol.  My mom also bought me the Bed Buddy Sinus Pack and I will heat that up and put it on my forehead for a little while.  Usually my headaches are in my neck and I used to take Excedrin Migraine, Caffeine and a heating pad to make them go away.  I got one the other week that last a few days, but I only used Tylenol, heating pad and sinus pack.  Although it didn't relieve it like I am used to, it eventually worked. 

     Hope that you feel better soon!
