Thankfully the headache broke with the coffee, medicine and lying down combo. I don't need to spend 85$ on a headache today. However, I think I will take Carla up on some of her other suggestions of Peppermint Oil -- except...what is this Co-op she is speaking of? The hippy Coop? Would Community Pharmacy have this sort of thing? Is this a food item or an essential oil sort of thing?
HeadOn -- I have NEVER tried this...do they sell it at Walgreens? Does it work on the back of the head? (the really bad headaches start at the base and wrap around).
Ice Pack - I might buy a fancy, gel, pampering type thing for this....
I mean, add it all up and it's still less than $85 dollars, right?

I used to buy it at Willy Street Co Op. But the pharmacy you mention might have it. The natural foods section at Copps had it too (I think I bought it there once) You don't eat it, its not food grade as far as I know. It has to be "essential oil" however, not fake fragrance like in the soap/candle section of a craft store.
Head on, would be put on your forehead, but its absorbed and would still kill the headache. Its sort of like icy hot for your head, but much less cold and hot (does that make sense?) Walgreens should have it. Every pharmacy out here has it, Eckerd, Rite Aid, most grocery stores even. This is under 10.00, maybe even under 5.00 I don't remember how much I paid for mine.
The face mask ice packs are nice, but I cannot brag enough on the really big round blue ones. Especially if you have a headache on the top of your head or the back of your head. That big blue bag is big enough to cover the entire top of your head. I used to say my big blue ice bag was the best purchase I ever made when I was pregnant with Connor.
