2. Have you tried a rubber-mallet?
It usually works for me.

Or you could try:

Acetominophine, Aspirin, Ibuprofin or Naproxin. Or a combo. Thats my family's standard answer, take everything. It works. :shrug:

Good way to get acetomenophen poisoning! Do you know what that stuff does to your liver?

15. Taking all of them will not be that good for you.
Acetomenophen shuts down the cytochrome enzyme complex in the liver. tyloenol is almost all acetomenophen, but all of the toher drugs have some amounts too. Actually, people have been known to OD doing just what you've described.

3. They say sex is good for headaches...
...I have no anecdotal evidence, or evidence of any kind, to back this up mind you.

7. meditate, do yoga, stretch
depending on severity. If that doesn't work, try over-the-counters. Good luck.

8. Have sex.
Seriously, that always works for me.

Must have something to do with endorphin release, or sudden release of tension.

10. Medicinal marijuana
Or some tylenol sinus. Option A is better though.
