What do you guys do for headaches?

My Dr never gave me a safe med list and with ds I didn't get headaches, they went away completely! Is there anything on that list that would work for headaches besides Tylenol??

[burnbot]

My dr gave me a list and it said tylenol and tylenol extra strength only. it said definately no aleve, advil, excedrin, motrin, or ibuprofen. that just about knocks everything off the list huh....hope u get some relief soon.

[dickersons09]

Boooo! I was hoping one of those would have been an alternative! Tylenol has never done anything for me

[Blcooper32]

Nope all we can have is tylenol...it doesn't do anything for me either...:/ so I always get a cool rag and put it on my for head or take a cool shower

[jenncez]

Yep I've been told only Tylenol. Try laying down in a dark quiet room for a bit. Hope you get some relief!

I hope your headaches go away soon!

The only reason they say nothing else is because Aspirin is a blood thinner. What aboug the excedrin made with tylenol? It's jusy tylenol with a little caffeine so you could accomplish the same thing with a 500mg tylenol taken with an 8oz coke. I am allergic to aspirin so all i have ever been able to take. I usually have a minimum of 3 bad headaches a week but since this pg i havent had a single one which make me think that its hormone related.

Also, dehydration can cause a major headache ao make sure you are getting enough water.

So funny I just got on and read this because I was gonna post that I drank about 3oz of coke and my headache is gone. Excedrin is usually the only thing that helps!

I read ibuprofen can put you at risk of miscarriage so don't take that. The 3oz of coke idea is a good one. Maybe a nice neck/scalp massage from DH would help? I hate headaches! I hope you feel better

Glad the Coke helped!!
