I remember that when I was first trying out treatment options for my migraines, one of the solutions my doctor recommended was to try taking a back pain medication with a muscle relaxant (Robaxacet or something like that) --- it occurs to me that maybe, if your headaches are being caused by the tension of being on that sexual edge, the muscle relaxant might help. I'm no doctor, though, so I don't really know.

The other thing to try would be using a gel-pack at the base of your skull --- experiment to see if it's better heated or chilled.

My favourite headache remedy has to be my homemade version of those Magic Bag things you see on tv: I made a sachet (about 4" x 8") out of an old silk shirt (double layers of the silk are best), and filled it with a combination of lentils and dried lavender. Sounds funny, I know, but it feels marvellous just laid across the eyes or over the back of the neck. The silk makes it feel cool on the skin, the lentils give it a good weight that presses out the tension, and the lavender smells so relaxing... You can even throw it in the microwave for a minute to heat it if wanted.

I agree with OF, though, that if these headaches are really persistent, you should have them checked out. (Seems to me that you told me a few days ago that you were having this problem --- if it's still there, I think it's time to do something about it!)

Take good care, Souls!
