try laffy taffy

Yeah I'd be immune to about every kind of drug if I were you too.
Anything to find and escape from the real world, right jafar?

I'm serious. You try going through 3 years of daily headaches and see how long the basic OTC pain meds work for you.

Most of them are pretty much the same damn ingredients anyways, acetomenophen(sp?), ibuprofen, or aspirin. Most OTC drugs are pretty weak dosage too. You can build up a tolerance to any drug with enough exposure to it (one of the reasons marijuana is considered a 'gateway drug' but that's another story), and when I spent most of my last 3 years of life on SOME sort of pain medication or another, that resistance becomes damn close to an immunity. It eventually got the point where I had to take more and more of each medication to get it to work, and before long the maximum dose didn't do shit, and I didn't exactly think it was healthy to take 4 BC powders to get rid of a headache.

So I just kinda cycle around, going through the list. Once something I'm on stops working, I go to whatever pain medication last worked the best, usually whichever one I was on longest ago. Right now, these Advil thingies are the best thing.

You know you build your immunity by taking drugs for simple headaches. Be a man and tough it out, you shouldn't need painkillers unless you are in real pain.

 

[Vadriel]

It's not so much "oh, lookie here I've got a little headache." It's "Jesus ****ing H Christ on a tapdancing unicycle I'm ****ing tired of these goddamn headaches!"

Seriously. Picture in your mind, an occasion in which you had a headache all day. It got pretty annoying, yes? Now picture that headache lasting for a week. Sound pleasant? Ok, now imagine you've had that same headache for a month. The dull pulse just never goes away. The only time you're free of it is when you sleep, and then when you wake up it's there again, like a little gremlin sitting on your shoulder tapping on your head. You want to kill that gremlin, but every time you take a swipe at him your hand passes right through him. It's infuriating. You just want it to stop. But it won't. For months and months that annoying little pest keeps tapping on your skull. You might think you'd get used to it, but that's not how it happens. Instead you get more and more agitated, which makes it tap even more persistantly.

Would you not try everything available to get rid of that pest? Would you not do everything in your power to kill that irritating little beast? I would. I did. And that's why very little in the way of OTC pain medication does a whole lot for me anymore.

In all seriousness, maybe you should get a catscan. Maybe there's something amiss..? =/

:hop

 

[Vadriel]

Neck/back problems combined with basic stress. I know WHY I get the headaches.

duuude, braces suck. whenever id wake up theyd be like imprinted into the side of my cheek and then my cheek would be all sore. and when they tighten em u get headaches and tooth aches
but when u get em off u cant stop lickin ur teeth for like 3 days haha, but they also shave the glue off and it smells terrible. retainers also suck, but i never wear em unless i feel the urge to..no1 really wear retainers and my teeth are fine.

not everyone is lucky enough to get retainers... I had to get a mouth gaurd to wear at night.... Its basically a huge football mouthpeice with your teeth molded into it. Why do I have it? Because I grind my teeth when I sleep. I cant even do it when awake! WTF!? My parents describe it as someone taking fingernails to a chalk board. :umm

 

[Lizardbreath]

So I want to see pictures of you with the braces on.

Neck/back problems combined with basic stress. I know WHY I get the headaches.

One of these days, I'll take a picture. They're really not that obtrusive.

 

[N[U]TS]
