headache

Hey ladies, last night I got a headache. I have been taking Tylenol as often as I'm aloud butt it's not helping. I had a friend recommend putting my hands and feet in hot water and ice on the back of my neck but that didn't help either. Anyone have a different remedy for headaches?

When I was in nursing school I had a professor say that most headaches are due to dehydration more than anything else. So, I always try drinking more water before popping pills when I have them and it usually helps. I would have never had thought about it before he said in class one day. Always worth a try.

Are you drinking enough liquids? That made a difference for me. My husband doesn't really like me taking Tylenol. So, I tried different things. Make sure you are taking prenatal vitamins, eating and drinking enough. I believe a headache is saying your body is missing something.

Try some caffeine, maybe? I had a headache for ab a week straight n nothing helped. I attributed it to the combo of hormones n seasonal changes. Good luck n feel better!
