HEADACHES..

When you have headaches for 3 days in a row no matter how much you eat/rest/relax, should you press the panic button and run to a doctor? I wonder why people get headaches, why can't something else ache. When I have a headache, I can barely think and I throw up if I try to get food in my system. Its so bad that I cannot even fall asleep. Its like being punished for some terrible crime. There is no cure that hasn't been tried. Apparently aspirin works for some people, sadly it doesn't for me. To make things worse, I can only take the medicine with some food in my stomach and at that point my system fails me by instantaneosly throwing out anything that is injected. I wonder if anyone's heard of a monday headache. As strange as it sounds, it happens and you cannot imagine my delight when I found someone else with the same problem. Every Monday, as if the body clock is set, by 11 in the morning I have a splitting headache and the only thing I want to do is apply a bucketload of Amrutanjan or Tiger Balm ( for those of you who don't know what that is - it is a 'pain-relief' balm) on my eye lids and savour the burning sensation tht it brings. The reason why I apply it on my eye lids is that it does not have any effect if I apply it on the temples where it is supposed to be applied. Daddy dearest agrees with me that this is the best thing to do with a headache. Yannnnyway, I think today's headache is primarily due to the pressure that I have been feeling over meeting my professor for over a week now. In about two hours, I hope I will be done with that. Got to get back to working now.

So much for not being able to work with a headache! Bleh
