Most women do get migraines, yeah.

But are you sure they're migraines, or are they tension headaches?

 

[MeBelle]

Tylenol 3 for back pain.

That's not OTC...lol

(nobody can follow directions around here obviously, including self)

The only time I get a tension headache is when a male is involved.

I get true migraines, auras included.

Maybe he lives somewhere in Europe.

Seems like I've heard that some countries there have Tylenol 3 as an OTC drug.

'Shame the US doesn't.

 

[Darlene]

I don't take pain medications, even for headaches.
I don't like pharmaceuticals.

I do remember a time when half an aspirin would kill a headache for me.

Rarely if ever have a hangover even though I still drink occasionally. The secret lies in hydration. For each shot of tequila I will drink a glass of water. If I have had a few too many I will take a shower before I go to bed. Stick to that regime and I don't have a hangover.

I suffer from brutal migraines so I use Excedrin migraine and wash them down with a Coke and then go and lie down. Usually have to sleep them off. Feel groggy afterwards but that works.

For normal aches and pains I use OTC Ibuprofin. If the pain is severe I will double the dosage because I am 6' 3" and the recommended dosage is "safe" for someone who is only 5' 0".

Hydration is key!

Does it allow you to take the pills and continue with your day or do you have to go and rest and allow the Fioricet to do it's magic?
