Unofficial Headache Remedies

Headaches can be horrible, and some things can make them worse. For example, you do NOT want to do any of these:

Stare at a computer screen

Your brain gets fried, and so does your computer, for no good reason.

Study

Yeah... just forget it.


Sleep

Unless you're someone with the wonderful ability to fall asleep despite a splitting headache, you're probably just going to end up thinking random thoughts and worrying about how much your head hurts, and ultimately you'll get annoyed with the world because you can't sleep and will hate your warm snuggly bed.

Listen to the wrong kinds of music

I generally like Linkin Park. I'm just saying it's the wrong kind of music to listen to when you have a headache.

Here's another example:

I only put this in because to me, Akon is ALWAYS the wrong kind of, ahem, music. *smirk*

Right, all that being said, here are some things that I've found to be quite useful in curing headaches:

Drink (water - lots of it)

 If that doesn't work, drink coffee

That didn't work? Drink some more (still talking about coffee)

Did that work? Either way, you'll have to drink more water now so you don't get dehydrated, because if you do, your headache will only get worse

Oil your head

Actually, get someone else to do it for you. It makes your head feel nice and cool. Usually the smellier the oil, the more it helps with the pain, but olive oil does it well enough too.

Sit (and consequently shit)

Sometimes it really does help. (I wonder how many people will look at this and go "gross" and how many people will be disappointed that I didn't draw someone sitting on the potty)

Last Resort

When all else fails, you could try bumping your head against the wall (or any other hard surface). The external pain should be strong enough to make the internal pain seem insignificant. Ta-DA!

Or, you know, you could always use burning balm (it's actually pretty awesome. Don't know why I didn't have a separate picture). Or you could just take a pill, but that's so uninteresting and mundane.
