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

In addition to the other suggestions here, these are two (and a half) tips that work for me:
Ice pack or cool cloth on the back of your neck and forehead. The cold restricts blood flow in the area, which can help ease pain.
Soak your feet in warm water (or find other ways to make your feet warm without warming up the rest of you). The heat expands the blood vessels, encouraging blood flow in your feet, which draws blood away from your head and can help ease pain.
0.5. There is a pressure point in your hand (called L14), between the thumb and forefinger, that can help relieve headache pain. YMMV, of course.
I hope you feel better!
