Good Lord, this headache is so painful. Paracetamol doesn't touch it, waiting for my partner to come back with some ibuprofen.

Stupid motherfucking teeth grinding. My whole head is throbbing πŸ’€

If you can get to a chemist, try something called "maxigesic". Take 2, lay down and put your thumbs gently behind your neck

heat back can help. Can also hurt but if its throbbing maybe worth a try?

you can get ibuprofen + paracetamol tablets now, and paracetamol + caffeine.

TW suicideParacetamol doesn't really affect me, after I tried to off myself with it. I take one, if I have nothing else, but it's mostly for the placebo affect and I tend to avoid it anyway.

Ibuprofen has helped though!

Fair enough, you should state what the trigger is for though, otherwise it's no warning!

Ugh I'm so guilty of this too. I had a filling that hurt a little bit, and for some reason, whenever there's any pain in my teeth, my immediate subconscious instinct is to bite down on the teeth that are hurting

Hugs and hope the ibuprofen helps, and your head feels better soon. I ran out of Nurofen, and swallowable paracetamol, so I've been using the aldi "hedanol" recently, which starts dissolving as soon as it touches the sweat and oils in my hand 😐
