tried to cover the pain using rotating brands and doses of aspirin,

acetomenophen, and ibuprophen. Thought it was gonna be ok, but ended

up becoming flagrantly allergic to all of them.. It is better to take

the time off and let the headache pass.....might even try drinking a

couple glasses of water with lemon or lime juice in it, to see if

that helps it go faster. Blessed Be, Connie>>

Dear Connie,

Thank you for the advice. I am allergic to aspirin and probably for

the same reason-taking it to cover the pain. Didn't think about

becoming allergic to the ibuprophen.

I would much rather try the water with lemon or lime juice in it than

take medication. I am finding that many " natural " methods are working

for me, but I also know that everyone is different. I will let you

know if it works...
