At around 3:00pm today I was assaulted by the pain of what I was convinced was the onset of a brain tumor. Ok, it wasn't really *that* bad, but I rarely get headaches so my tolerance is pretty low.
I am notorious at home and at work for not taking medicine when I should. I think this is because I already have medicine in my system 100% of my life that I'd prefer to not add to the arsenal of chemicals adjusting my body. Rather than taking something for a headache or cold, I just sit and talk about how I have it, not complaining, just stating that it's happening.
Well today it was bad enough for me to drive home and immediately pump myself with Aleve and go straight to bed. Who knew that would take care of it? You all did, probably. Anyway, when I woke up feeling better I started thinking about how crazy headaches are. I mean, your brain doesn't feel pain, so how can your head hurt, especially when you haven't experienced any trauma or injuries. To find out I turned to the authority of all information: wikipedia.org. You can find out about headaches here. Or if that doesn't interest you, try this, this, or this, all of which I find fascinating and mysterious. Happy reading!

i used to not take anything either, but now, as soon as i feel something coming on, boy, i'm popping those tylenols.
sleep does awesome things for your body too, esp. taking away feelings of stress
