Good luck.  When my headaches were at their worst, I would wet two wash clothes and stick them in the freezer.  When they were "moldable" I would take them out and curve one to the back of my neck and one over my forehead.  They were my saving grace in addition to my Excedrin in the days before the surgery.

Good luck, Jo!  Just pack that Aleve and some water and take it before the headache gets really bad.

I was an Aleve user prior to my AN being removed. After my AN surgery, I found when I felt a headache was starting that if I took 2 extra strength (500 mg each)  Bayer Aspirins they did the trick. My headache was gone. I still use Aleve but found that helps more with muscle and body pain. I am very fortunate that I don't get headaches very often but if I do my aspirin is never more than a few feet away from me. I hope work goes well for you. Make sure when you get home you save time to take a nap before you get too tired.

Well done Jan

What ever I chose to do or when ever I chose to do something about it ... going back to work must be very intimidating.  It sounds like you have done an awesome job.

Glad you are so keen to deal with the 'kids' (in my world - teenagers are very old).
