National Headache Week

This week is National Headache Week, so what techniques do you use to relieve your headache?  For me, usually the best thing is just complete peace and quiet, which is difficult to come by sometimes.  Some use methods such as massage, heat, cold or compression to relieve their headaches, but research has found most of these methods to be less than effective.  Only 8% resulted in good or excellent pain relief. And the relief was usually temporary, lasting only as long as the technique continued.

 Do you really want to get rid of that headache? Then make love. Even though some headaches magically appear when the subject is brought up in bed, but that's the news from Southern Illinois University medical researchers who found that 50 percent of women surveyed said sex banishes their headaches as well as medicine does. It turns out that sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain. http://www.headaches.org

So what give you a headache?  What special technique do you have to relieve the pain?
