I Hate Headaches

I don't enjoy pain, especially when it's composed of a steady throbbing that builds up right behind you eyes. Without doubt headaches are the most irritating pains that we experience. There are many reasons we get them, but that does not take away the annoyance at having to spend an entire day at work, walking around with your head thumping like an oversized bass drum. I woke up with a headache yesterday, took two Excedrine and was fine an hour or so later. Today I woke up with another one. To avoid developing what's known in medical circles as the "Boomerang Effect." Actually, I don't know if that's what it's called, but it sounds like a good phrase to use for the time being. Anyway, if you take medication to relieve a headache on a frequent basis, eventually you will begin to get headaches more frequently. To counteract the headaches you'll begin popping more medication until you get to the point that you are getting headaches every day and popping pills every day to make them go away. I don't think I could handle that. So, I'm going to just grin and bear it and pretend that my head feels fine. Hopefully, my headache will go away on its own.
