Every year, hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions, stay at a Holiday Inn Express at least one night. Hopefully, last night, one of those people was you.

I woke up with a headache right above my eyeballs. I can't get rid of it. I've taken allergy medication, Alieve, a small dose of caffeine... still nothing. WTF guys? It's certainly not stress. I don't hold on to stress. Why can't I get rid of this headache?

Are you hydrated enough?

Sounds like a migraine. Are you sensitive to light at all?

Right now, I'm sensitive to everything.

And I know migranes. I get them about once every two years or so. They are completely debilitating. I can't do shit. I sometimes end up sleeping in the pitch black bathtub.

Aleve is a muscle relaxer. Probably not the 'headache' medicine you need.

For me, when it's a really bad headache, I take

qty
(1) Excedrin Migraine
(2) Ibuprofen (advil, the generics, etc)
(2) acetaminophen (tylenol, generics, etc)

none compete with each other. Seriously, in 30 minutes you can feel the headache dissolving away.

Plenty of water. I drink like 60-80 oz of water a day.

Take some tylenol.

Have you masturbated today?

It's an Anti-Inflammatory. I was hoping it was something like most headaches where it's a strained neck muscle and all that. It generally works wonders for me. Not so much this time.

No. You think that's the problem?

 

[thintoast]

Take some tylenol.

Tylenol doesn't do anything for me. It hasn't for the last 15 years.

 

[APRIL]

You are speaking to Dr. April MD, PHP, CSS, NAMBLA, WOW

Give it a whirl, maybe the increased blood flow will relax the capillaries in your brain.

Oh yah, about that. I was in town and accidentally hit you with a sledgehammer, it wasn't intentional.

 

[Jimmycrackcorn]

No. You think that's the problem?

when was the last time you emptied those bad boys?

Been about two days. Nothing extreme. Shouldn't be the problem.

don't sweat it.

Actually, I think I might stop on the way home and pick up some Ibuprofen. I don't have any and that stuff works. Maybe that's what I need...

Already did. I'm now at work.

IBuprofen, tylenol, etc never seems to work on me.

For this sore throat I have, its recommended to take Iburpofen, but meh. I'll suffer. I rarely take prescription drugs unless I really have to.

Unless its recreational or baby preventative. lolol
