Re: Helping a pre-op with a headache.......

[Guest guest]

Imitrex should be of if she already takes it and know how it reacts to her.

The heat behind her head will only make the headache worse. The cold is a

better idea and drink plenty of fluids.

Dr. R just e-mailed me back and told me that it was okay to take one Vioxx and

I could take Codeine if my doctor said it was okay. I have some Vioxx so I am

going to take me of those and hopefully it will do the trick.

Thanks to you guys for your concern. Gloria is a life send.
