A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That said does anyone have any tips for having a headache?

Kind of depends on the cause of the headache…is it sinus related? If you live in a dry area, your nasal passages may need hydration (netti pot or saline spray or take a hot shower) or it might be adult allergies. Is it tension? If so, try to find the tension and massage it out. Use peppermint oil roller (it cuts the intensity, but likely won’t make it go away). It could also be a good sensitivity that you’ve developed.

If you start I get them frequently or more than normal, keep a log of when you get them and what you did before it and what you ate. Then talk to your doctor. I spent three years trying to find out the cause of my migraines. Journaling can help.
