I'm just kicking myself it's taken me so many decades to actually give this a try ...
I sometimes suffer from pressure headaches or tensions headaches. When the weather changes significantly (so usually in Spring or Autumn) or when I've slept badly and sprained my neck, I get these intense stabbing headaches on the top of my skull that even Nurofen won't shift. I have spent £100s at the chiropractor over the years on alleviating these.
Last night my headache was so bad it woke me up at 3am and I eventually took 2 codeine (which I have been prescribed for a different condition lol life is good at the moment) to make it go away and let me get back to sleep after 4 hours of throbbing agony.
Anyways, to the point, I was in the supermarket when the codeine started to wear off and the headache came back. The stabbing was ramping up as I wandered the aisles. I thought I'd look in the pharmacy section to see if there was anything other than paracetamol, ibuprofen or codeine I could try. There was this roll-on stick thing called 4Head - like a tiny stick deodorant thing that you rub on your forehead. I thought "nothing ventured" and I'd like to stop taking so many drugs.
Well I applied it an hour or so ago - headache has COMPLETELY GONE!! It is like some sort of miracle. I am bowled over and yet so cross that I didn't know this existed before.
It is a very big thumbs up and recommendation from me.
