IF...and I do mean IF you can describe your headache as a tight band around your head...then it is what is known as a TENSION headache. It is caused by stress. It can last for up to a WEEK if you do not actively TRY really, really hard to stop worrying about Joel and your buddy and basically about EVERYTHING.

SOME things that might help you relax are long hot soaks in a spa or jacuzzi bath...massage by a massage professional...filling your home with lavender essential oil aromatherapy. Basically find a spa and go have a LONG spa day.

ANOTHER thing that might help you relax is prayer. IN your prayer, GIVE all of your worries and fears to God, in the knowledge that HE can handle them FOR you.

@4meAndyou I'm still outside right now by the fire working from home. I'm drinking ice cold water and listening to music.
Does that count.

I don't think I'd do well at a spa.

@Cigarguys No, it doesn't count...because that is just your normal day. I know you are TRYING to relax....but I'll bet the headache didn't go away.

@Cigarguys After group tonight, see if Joel will massage your shoulders and neck and the back of your head. That MIGHT help to release some of your tension.
