Have a meeting and got a headache. #coffeeaddict. It helps me. What do you do for #headacherelief ? ... See MoreSee Less
Advil & Coffee if in the morning or Advil & a rare Diet Pepsi if in the afternoon.
Suffering from migraines nothing worked and I tried many prescriptions. Then I tried old school. 3 fast acting Tylenol. Also if I don’t have at least one cup of coffee a day I get a headache so sometimes just a cup helps!
Drink coffee every morning ☕️ preventive medicine
Caffeine coffee definitely helps me.
An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure...never miss my morning coffee.
Hydration. Headaches are frequently from lack of fluid in the meninges, the layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Or acetaminophen and a quick nap. Drink a full glass of water with every pill !
I don't usually get headaches, I give them. But when I get them it's usually sinus related and then hot coffee or even hot chocolate will help. Midol helped a few times.
And definitely, drink water. Dehydration gives me a headache
For the worst ones, and only in rare cases.... 3 tylenol, one ibuprofen and a cup of coffee. Will knock out any pain you have in 20 minutes. It's been a life saver many times over. Especially for toothache pain!! (was recommended by a dentist too)
Extra water, and a dab of peppermint oil on the temples and over the eyebrows
Drink your water its the best for a headache or even a little snack🩷Hope you feel better soon!
Take Aleve don’t get headaches often
I drink more water and put a cold cloth on the back of my neck.
Caffeine! YES!
Do have much headaches ever,but Coffee is a must and make me easier to Deal with in the Day.Feel Better soon.
I don't get just headaches I get migraine attacks. I have special meds that help with those attacks. As for regular headaches I take excedrin, drink water first thing in the morning and have my coffee then lie down and within 30 minutes they are gone. As for my migraine attacks it takes me one and a half hours before they are gone. Good luck and I hope you feel better 🥰
I get big migraines. Take generic imitrex.
Caffiene, Naproxen (Which is 2 aleves) lots of water. Biofreeze on temples and neck depending on where it is.....sorry 🙁
Lots of water and food as well . My moms cure headaches
Caffeine
BC powders!
Coffee and magnesium
I use microwave heat pack on back of neck, moist heat can redirect the blood flow and ease the tension
Love ya
Nurtec ODT mine get very bad. This works very well.

It’s Spring…almost. Gerber daisies are my favorite. Daffodils are already here. What flowers are peeking through in your garden? ... See MoreSee Less
Flowers are always nice
Snowdrops and Snow Crocus!
Gorgeous flowers! ❤️
I planted pansies today, but I bought them here in Myrtle Beach
My hyacinths are peeking through the ground!!
Daffodils - White Iris - Azaleas budding and will be blooming soon!!
My crocuses are starting to peak out
Love flowers
Gerber daisies are gorgeous. I just have bushes. Still freezing here. It will be a bit to have anything flower here. Although I did see a bee a few days ago. Poor thing is a bit confused I think.
in the front yard
I miss the lilac bushes now that I live in Florida, and seeing the flowers coming through the snow😁
I love herber daisy's too! Wish there stems were a lil more sturdy..😆
Crocuses

Filling this #thrifting basket with eggs would cost a bundle. Do you have chickens to produce #eggs for you? ... See MoreSee Less
Not anymore
My girls could fill that basket.
Yes I do
Yes 4 chickens 🐓
Easter is not looking pretty this year! It’s looking expensive.
How do chicken people keep them safe from the virus? Birds could contaminate them.
Potato basket made 🥔by the Mic Mac Indian tribe in Aroostook County ME ( Having spent time there- I plan to spotlight Aroostock County and all things potatoes at my antiques Marketplace booth!)🙃
I have chickens in the neighborhood. Still $5.00! 🐣😍🐥
No but we do have a great antique egg basket.
My daughter from another mother has chickens so we are set for eggs 👍
Yes we do 🐓

We do!
Yes we have lots of hens
