Would You Prefer a Headache or a Stomach Ache?

Random.  I am bored and waiting for my headache to pass so I can clean.  Tylenol does nothing for me.  Ibuprofen takes away the headache but gives me a stomach ache.

Which would you choose?

    Ugh.  Neither.  BUT if I had to choose I guess I would say a headache.  I can still function with a headache but when my stomach hurts I'm a big baby.

    Depends on how bad it is. If they're the same intensity, I think I'd rather a stomachache. I just hate it when my head is pounding.

    Sorry your headache hit during your alone time. :(

    Try eating something small with the ibuprofen?

    Stomach ache. Then maybe I'd avoid eating for a few hours and lose a little bit of weight!

    Good call on the weight loss.

    I am drinking coffee with my ibuprofen.  Does that count as 'eating a little something'?

    Pain killers work well for me, so I'd taker the headace. 

    I hope yours passes soon, drink lots of water!

    Haha.  Don't think it counts as eating something.  BUT caffeine sometimes helps with headaches.

    Lol, I dunno. I think that may make it worse.

    Have a saltine or a piece of bread or something like that. :)

    Headache.  I can manage through those, a stomach ache renders me useless and I need to lay down.  Good thing I don't have those often :::knock on wood:::

    Headache. I've gotten frequent tension headaches since I was a kid and handle them much better. My sister always had a sensitive stomach and had lots of stomachaches growing up, so she'd choose that because she knows how to handle them, lol.

    Try drinking a soda or something, caffeine helps Tylenol work better. I hope you feel better soon!

    Went back and read, you're drinking coffee, so that might help the Tylenol. But Tylenol plus coffee probably won't help your stomach.

    Ha ha ha this! I suffer from migraines and headaches so a week or month without one of the two would be awesome! :)
