unless you are a lucky sob and never get headaches, what do you take to get rid of one?

Left off Aleve. :) That's what I usually take and it clears it up pretty quickly.

Dude, that's to relieve stress, not headaches.

Besides, increasing your heart rate is something you don't wanna do when you got a migrane (the headache of choice by my brain). It's all about controlling the heart rate.

If it's pretty bad....I take the Advil stuff. But, usually, I just drink lots of water.

When I get a bad headache this is the way I go. If its a mild headache then its just Tylenol.

Are we talking regular headache here or hangover? Regular headache I take lots of water and a nap. Hangover, I take a multivitamin, lots of Gatorade, and have a big greasy breakfast.

I rarely take anything for headaches because nothing seems to work. I usually just deal with them unless they're more severe, then I'll take something. I usually need a combination of drugs to get rid of one.

actually, i knew i read an article somewhere about this

Actually it is a fact. "Having intercourse can help eliminate a headache. Rigorous sex play can release endorphins, like other exercise can help assuage a headache," Dr. Whitmore said.

It is not just good for curing headaches. Research has shown sex can also improve digestion, sleep and self esteem, plus it's good for your heart and doctors say it is one of the best ways to relieve stress.

this must be why nickelback's always in a good mood! :D

now...onto the insomia post!

Excedrin is like magic pixie dust... it'll turn a scowl into a smile faster than anything (legal) that I know of. God bless it.

I'm allergic to EVERYTHING except tylenol (or generic).
Which for a headache works ok, but for general body aches and stuff sucks.

I honestly don't get headaches very often at all - and when I do, it's because of a hangover. Plenty of water and spicy food does the trick then! :D
