Headache?

[kaypeeoh]

Some mornings I wake with a headache. Some mornings I don't. So I add two tylenol to the morning medications. If two hours pass and no relief I take two ibuprofen. If two more hours pass with no relief I try acupuncture. Sometimes that works but sometimes not. I can't find a commonality to explain the headache. I wondered if the solitary beer at night was enough to cause a hangover. So I quit the nightly beer and found there's still a headache the next morning.

Is this another sign of PD? Any suggestions?

I don't know that tylenol is going to do much for you.

Late in the day the headache abated. Today no headache.

Could it be that you’re dehydrated? Drink 2-3 glasses of water and see if that helps.

I thought of that and had a smoothie for lunch. The headache stopped a few hours later.

A friend of ours had constant headaches for a couple of years. He started drinking water and the headaches went away but unfortunately we felt the damage was done as he ended up with kidney failure and on dialysis. Don’t know if it was coincidental but we believe it was because he didn’t like to drink water.

If it is dehydration, the headache should stop 15 mins after drinking 2 big glasses of water. Worth a try.

How are your headaches going?

Are you drinking plenty of water? 🙂
