I haven’t had a headache for months, but today I have a monster. Typical, isn’t it? The only day in 12 I’m not working and I feel like someone’s filled my brain with nails. I took some paracetamol early, but it’s barely touched the temples. I think I need to look stronger, but I don’t like strong painkillers and I’m pretty sure the 24-hour pharmacist isn’t going to throw me some codeine for a headache, so I might try something different. It’s hard for me to see straight, but I’ve looked online for some ancient and/or alternative remedies to help relieve head pain. To be honest, none of them look attractive. Short of getting Philippa to drill a hole in my head (to let the evil spirits out) or set fire to my hair (nice idea, Arateus of Cappadocia) the only option seems to be something called a Coffee Enema. I don’t know what that is, but I recognise both words and I don’t like the idea of putting them together. I think I’d rather suffer a crippling migraine for three days than even look up what a Coffee Enema involves.
