1. Take a nap
Go to the hospital and get a paintful shot in the butt (i had to one time)
Put a cold washcloth on your face
eat fruit

2. The simple answer is to eliminate stress, but that is impossible...even good stress causes tension. Just succumb and purchase that heavenly little green bottle filled with acetominophen and caffeine in the drug store...ahhh Exedrine. Remember? "I've got a headache and its got Exedrine written allll over it?" Or was that before your time. Taking anything else lets your pain just sit there...Exedrine is a wonder drug, I'm sorry. It just is a fact.

3. I HAVE MIGRAINES FROM TENSION. HERE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS I TRY: A HOT SHOWER, ICE, HEATING PAD, 3 ADVIL, MAYBE EXCEDRIN PM, QUIET, MESSAGE, USE TENNIS BALLS TO PRESS ON TENSE AREA, AND I HAVE MY 4 1/2 YEAR OLD SON WALK OR STAND ON MY BACK.
