Meh, more pain today than usual

Hoping this isn't the beginning of a trend. Usually just intermittant some pain. Taking tylenol...may look for Tylenol arthritis and ibuprofen. This is so wearying. Trying to not dwell, but almost-constant-new pain is what it is.

Hoping I get some help. TY all. You've been great. Looking forward to my religious visit next week. Hoping for more peace of mind. Getting Flexiril. Not super helpful. Turning off news.

I haven't found Tylenol to help as much as Advil or Excedrin (aspirin plus caffeine plus Tylenol) or some other formulation of aspirin and caffeine for headaches or muscle type pain. I know some people swear by Tylenol, and it is easier on the stomach lining.

For severe headache lasting more than a day, if I can get my hands on one of the migraine drugs from the Triptan family of drugs, I'll try that after a certain point, combined with one of the medications I just mentioned. Sometimes, even if the headache is not a migraine it still seems to help, which I guess means the headache might actually be a migraine disguised as some other kind of headache, like a weather related headache (falling barometer) or cervicogenic headache.

Gosh, I hope you get some relief!
