Headaches?

[Kittee]

Anyone else get alot of headaches ? Or is this just me? I woke up with one today and I can't shake it. Grrr.

All the time. Tylenol is friend. I think its the Remicade... or could be dehydration.

I have alot of headaches, I think alot of mine are related to the pred now a days, I swear by Excidren, it is over the counter and it'll KO any headaxche for me usually with in 15-20 mins. I personally think Excidren need to come out with a pain killer for the pains in my side, the Excidren back and body is wonderful for the over all aches and pains also

Oh lucky Mrae, I can't do Excedrin. Doesn't that kill your tummy?

Kati- Maybe it is dehydration. Makes sense.

I was surprised to just read that 3 of the 6 varieties of Excedrin contain 65 mg of caffeine. All have acetaminophen (like Tylenol) 3 also have aspirin.
I find that rubbing right under my eyebrows helps a headache (start near nose, go out toward ears). Weird, I know - but try it.
Also - if I have my husband squeeze my head like a vice in different spots, that helps too. Even pressure from opposite sides. Of course, I rarely have headaches so maybe I shouldn't be giving advice.
Hope you get some relief anyways.

Usually I take the excidren with food if they contain asprin, but there are also the asprin free type and they work just as well. I also lay down with a heating pad over my face or at the back of my neck, my heating pad is the best non-pill type of pain reliver I own (if you dont own one, buy one now, you'll never regreat it!), I also sleep with it on low around my side almost every night to help with the abdom pain I get all the time. and to add with what MBH said, the base of your skull / tip top of the spine area is another good pressue point that helps relive some of the pain of a headache. I have been getting some really wierd "flash headaches" , thats what I call them. They usually hit right around my left temple , it is like a really sharp sever pain that only last's for maybe a min tops but omg when they hit, it'll almost drop me litterally!

im thinking they could be sinus headaches bc my sinuses are inflamed and messed up, but idk.

kittee youre still tapering the pred right? pred taper for me always = MIGRAINES.
