Headaches...
Been going through daily headaches since last week - accompanying what I think is a sinus infection. I took 1 Tylenol regular strength, and that did NOTHING for me.
Just wondering what you guys have done for relief.

Re: Headaches...
I had headaches for days sometimes and it was awful.
You're allowed to take 2 regular strength tylenol, as well as regular Sudafed (the red pill).

Re: Headaches...
I spoke to my doctor about my migraines the other day because I've been getting horrible headaches for days at a time.
She told me that I can take Excedrin Migraine - limited to one a week. She also said that I should take it as soon as the headache is coming on because if I wait too long (as most preggos do), then it won't work.
I finally took one on Saturday and I feel like a new person. My DH couldn't believe the transformation in me. I was so much happier and had energy.
Oh and she also told me about a daily supplement of vitamins that is supposed to prevent headaches. She said to take magnesium glycinate (200mg) and a B6 vitamin (25 mg) three times a day.
But, I would definitely ask your doctor before taking anything new.

Re: Headaches...
I had headaches too but mine were from cutting out caffeine so I reinstated one cup of tea into my daily menu at lunch time and I am fine now. Did you cut out caffeine cold turkey?

Re: Headaches...
When I have a bad headache I take 2 tylenol and wash it down w/ a can of coke. Thanks Colleen

Re: Headaches...
I was getting horrible headaches too, it was because I cut out caffiene cold turkey.
Tylenol has never helped me. So the dr said I can have limited caffiene throughout the day.

I don't drink coffee, so they're not brought on by that for me.

Re: Headaches...
I just had the worst headache before and I'm at work. I had a shot of regular coffee and that did the trick.

Re: Headaches...
I get them every day for the past week. I take an extra strength tylenol and put a cold pack on my head and that really helps :)

Re: Headaches...
I had a couple of really bad headaches in the beginning. I think it was from caffeine withdrawal. I muddled through it and they stopped rather quickly.

Re: Headaches...
I've been suffering from terrible headaches for about two weeks now and tylenol and ice were just not cutting it. My ob wrote me a script for Fiornel. It helps!

Re: Headaches...
I had them every other day for a week around 12 weeks then again every day for 10 days in a row around week 17-18. My OB said I could take 2 regular strength Tylenol, but most likely it was just that phase in my pregnancy. He was right! I've barely had any kind of headache since!

Re: Headaches...
for me, 95% of the time my headaches are caused by dehydration...
before popping a pill, drink a liter of water, and see if that works....
