    I've been getting some pretty bad ones. I just take Tylenol. Not trying to cause myself any extra pain haha.

  • Tylenol (as little as possible), small amounts of caffeine and making sure I'm drinking plenty of water keep mine in check.

    I got desperate a few nights ago and took baby tylenol because it's all we had in the house.

  • Water, water and more water to help prevent. Tylenol for relief.



  • During my last pregnancy I suffered from intense headaches.  Take what you can for pain and rest :)

    I hope they get better for you

    I would say this exactly. I take the recommended dosage of Tylenol.

    Have you given something up that might cause withdrawal headaches? Coffee, pop smoking? If it's something you can safely have small amounts of like caffeine I would try that.

    There is a difference between regular Tylenol and extra strength Tylenol as well. Make sure you check which one you have (as most have extra strength and I think I remember that you can't take as much of it).

  • I had a horrible headache last night and only had aspirin and motrin in the house. Time to go get some tylenol! I did put peppermint oil on my temples which felt nice. I hope your headaches go away!

  • Yes!! Mine just started this evening! Trying to just drink extra water and I plan to go to sleep early (even though I napped for two hours today....what is wrong with me??) and I will take Tylenol if necessary.
  • I get migraines that Tylenol can't really touch. I use peppermint oil (I rub a tiny bit on my forehead and rub a bit into my temples) it shocked me last time how much that helps.

    I also sip on a coke when I get a headache. The caffeine helps me quite a bit.
