14. It's definitely still winter here

which is a big bummer considering the official start to spring is just days away.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

31. We had snow in the western part of the state for the last two days...

But the trees are blooming, the daffodills are at full bloom, and my sinuses apparently hate me. I'm sorry you're bummed.

25. -Sniffa, not to alarm you

but a severe headache is the first sign of menengitis, a very painful disease that could kill you, cause brain damage or leave you blind

[Lavender Brown]

4. Seems like everyone on DU has migraines

I've noticed

[YellowRubberDuckie]

5. Take 2 Benedryl and one aleve.

Lie down. When you wake up you will feel better.

6. Slam your fingers in a drawer.

It'll take your mind right off it.

Seriously... hope you feel better soon. :hug:

[meegbear]

7. Have you tried aLLegra?

[sniffa]

13. not too much

cLaritan more so.

[AlCzervik]

9. have you tried having some coffee??

it opens up the blood vessels, it may help. It's allergy season here as well, everything is blooming and my nose is a runnin.

[sniffa]

10. i couLdn't even finish my 2nd cup

:puke:

i'm waiting for my femaLe coworker to come back - she's got the girLy piLLs which work wonders for me.

(i can never remember the name of them)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. Indoor allergies. I'm sneezing lots today.

you should run a humidifier-it may help.

[fluffernutter]

15. that sucks, i'm feeling the same way.

pollen is high here lately, ugh!

did you take anything? does anything help you feel better?

[sniffa]

19. i usuaLLy take

pms piLLs - best thing.

if it gets reaLLy bad, i move on to a muscLe reLaxant. that's what i usuaLLy do for migraines, but this pain feeLs sLightLy different; i feeL Like i'm swimming in snot.

[fluffernutter]

23. i hate that feeling.

are you serious about the pms pills? hmmm, interesting.

the vicks idea sounds like it might help you from drowing in snot. good luck!

[snippy]

17. Are you watching Bush? That might be the problem. n/t

[fluffernutter]

22. snarf!

very good point, he's off air now, and i know i feel much better!

[jonnyblitz]

18. oh no!

nothing can be done to alleviate this eh? :( :hi:

[Jessica]

20. Have you tried

Vicks Vapo-Rub? When I'm getting a migraine, I rub a little on my temples & between my eyebrows, then put a warm wascloth over my eyes. Works like a charm.

[sniffa]

21. that's a good idea

i may invest in that. i have a heating pack i throw in the micro that heLps... but not here at work.

[Bullwinkle925]

28. Go home and hit the hot steamy shower. Take Tylenol or your

choice of pain med........lie down - keep your room dark. If it doesn't subside in a few hours - call your physician.

[Zuni]

24. go to the hospital--it could be meningitis

I got meningitis and it started with a SEVERE headache that had blinding pain

Go get checked out ASAP if it doesn't go away

[soothsayer]

26. squirt yourself with pepper spray. that's how that guy developed

that capsacin based migraine relief medicine (he taught self defense, and as part of the class would let people spray him. One day he was getting a cluster headache and got sprayed and voila! no more headache!)

[tjwmason]

27. You poor chap

Do you need somebody to soothe your troubled brow? :hug:

Illness really is the crappiest thing.

[SarahB]

29. In addition...

to pain meds, allergy meds, and decongestants, try squirting some plain saline spray up your nose (as much as you can stand). Sometimes that helps flush out the gunk. :hug:

[CubsFan1982]

30. Are you stuffy and congested?

If so, could be allergies, if not, I'd go see a doctor and put a kettle on the stove.

[sundog]

32. drugs n/t

:P
