Headache and no nurofen

[milly143]

I've got a banging head and I'm stuck in the office. I've just realised I gave my last nurofen to one of the guys the other day. Any other solutions to help get rid of it?

[mazie]

Feverfew but I doubt you have any of that growing in the office milly

[woofgang]

killing a work colleague does it for me.

[NazNomad]

^^^ That was going to be my answer before I opened this question.

[mazie]

A bit messy woof

[NazNomad]

lol, mazie's one, not woofy's.

[milly143]

Two downfalls with the killing a work colleague - there are none here at the moment and as the hoovering and mopping is left to me to do, I can't be bothered with that. It's a tempting thought though,

with fingertips massage the sides of your head slowly.

[woofgang]

the mess is a downside I will admit.

[carlton23]

What`s caused it?

[redcrx]

squeeze the fleshy part of hand thats between your thumb and finger. Thats supposed to help.

[woofgang]

well with me it was usually a work colleague....
what have you got access to milly?

[milly143]

Not sure what's caused it. Had it since I woke up but thought it would probably just go after a cup of tea but it hasn't.

Will try a little effleurage.

[mazie]

LOL, I dont believe you Naz ;o)

[milly143]

I have access to the following that can be consumed:

Water
Tea
Coffee
Cranberry Juice
A seemingly extraordinary amount of beer and wine for an office
Tracker Bars.

I could make a mix of them all the thought of drinking it would be so vile it would take my mind off the headache.

if it's a tension headache start with your fingertips of both hands in the centre of your forehead and work outwards in little stages pressing firmly until you finish at your temples press hard and hold the pressure for a count of 10 then let go...

sinus headache cup of hot water and inhale the steam

hangover headache drink water

Migraine...go home and lie down

any other sort try a very strong coffee and something sweet

then find someone to kill.....

Try not to stare at a computer screen any longer than you have to. Fresh air if possible and hydrate yourself with plenty of water. Also office lighting can cause headaches to worsen. Can you grab some pain killers at lunchtime?

[milly143]

It's definatitely not alchol related and it's not nearly bad enough to be a migraine (I don't think). Probably more tension type. It's all around the top left hand side of my head.

[carlton23]

Put some ice in a bag and hold it to your forehead if possible.

[milly143]

No ice and no freezer compartment to make ice unfortunately.

I will get some painkillers when I go and get some lunch but I have to hang around for a delivery before I can go out. Could be here all year!

[vlfantom]

try getting someone to massage your temples as i get headaches regular and i either massage my temples or get someone to do it for me
