when i feel a headache coming on i immediately take 2 8 mg acetaminophene and put a hot towel(wet & microwave 1 min.) on my neck and a cold pack on my temple and then alternate to the eye and nose. this keeps the pain from getting too bad and keeps my nose from stuffing up.
if i'm at work i just ignore the pain and try to get into the shade or a dimly lit building. heavy activity or distractions help.
