    OK, I woke up this morning with a headache and it made me wonder, what do truckers do or take when they get a bad headache? I know that the load has to keep moving and that there is no time to lay down and put an ice pack on your head, so what do you do? And what about Migraines? :biggrin_2552:

    I could invest real easy in EXCEDRINS....:biggrin_2552:

    I can't tell you how may I have taken over the years for headaches and pains.
    If you can, don't take them with WATER. TAKE them with MILK to help your stomach.

    It was not uncommon for me when I got a bad headache, to drive with an ice pack on the back of my neck as well.

    I know what you mean. Nothing worse then suffering with a headache and having to push on and endure traffic and seems like an endless road when you are not feeling well.
