Try this at home
Saturday evening I went to bed with a headache, and yesterday I woke up with the same headache. Never a good sign. I immediately took 2 Tylenol Sinus because I could tell that this could easily become a migraine. I have prescription medicines for my migraine, but they knock me out. I mean "be prepared to spend the entire day asleep" knock me out. I could tell within an hour that they Tylenol hadn't done the trick. Many years ago I heard that caffeine can help with headaches, and recently I read a blog post about a person who finds that drinking a can of pop high in caffeine (i.e. Mountain Dew) often helps her migraines. I didn't have time to spend the entire day in bed, so I gave the Mountain Dew a try. I also took 2 ibuprofen before I left for church, and although the headache was still there, I could tell it wasn't going to be a migraine. Not sure if it really works or not, but yesterday the caffeine really saved me!

I may have to try this. I had a migraine Saturday and a headache yesterday. That is why we did not go to church. You are tougher than I. I'm hoping God will forgive. Especially since we are going to be absent and have been from church until Jan. Can you say "traveling?"
