I also had bathroom ibuprofen, bedstand ibuprofen, in my backpack, in all of my different coats, in the car, and in my locker. Eventually I even got my wife to carry a bottle in her purse. I learned how to swallow four 200 mg pills without liquid.

Be sure to hydrate well when taking NSAIDS like IB. It's important for the health of your kidneys.

Ibuprofen kills the kidneys, paracetamol the liver, and ASA the stomach. Prescription-free doesn't mean harmless. IIRC then drinking large amounts of water helps against headaches anyway.

Prescription-free doesn't mean harmless.

Yeah, I learned from a sports Doc at a triathlon I was working that we should never give out IB to the athletes, because the combination of dehydration from the event and the vasoconstriction of the NSAID is a double-whammy for the kidneys. Once we explained to the athletes why we weren't giving them NSAIDS, they were usually fine with taking some alternative (like Tylenol).

Oh it was worse than that. I was getting 6 migraines a week, 12 to 14 hour duration. I had to take a dose of ibuprofen at the first sign of pain, then again every four hours because if it wore off I was done for. (I really hated the days I woke up with one.) None of the usual prescribed medications had much of an effect and things like the barbiturate derivative they had me on for a time didn't do any better than OTC.

Fortunately (and mysteriously) they started to disappear shortly after I turned 30. I still get one, once in a while, but the pain level is only mild. Thankfully, no liver damage. Yay!

According to the Chinese, I live an "interesting" life.

Migraines are still a mystery. They are a very special (and annoying) kind of headache.

My mentor at the university suffered from it. He said he inherited it from his mother. His mother once called her doctor to give her a shot against migraines and the doctor replied: "Isn't your son a doctor? Why don't you ask him to give you a shot?"

And no, this wasn't a joke. He told me the story exactly like that.

I sympathize. Are/were your migraines of the Scintillating Scotoma (aura) type, or "just" ordinary thumping?

I eventually figured out mine were due to long colon syndrome (compounded by a poorly programmed medulla that was getting completely flummoxed about what it should do).

Sounds nasty!

They were called "atypical migraines." (Which I was told, oddly enough, are actually the most common form of migraine.) I was fortunate in that, because you don't get the auras. And somehow or another they were also linked to a muscle tension headache. I can't really explain it... I have a "kink" in my neck, similar to what you would get from whiplash (maybe I did have that at some point.) The exact mechanism is a mystery, but the best guess is that the muscles in my neck would start to clench, the muscle tension headache would start, then the migraine would set in. So, no auras, just a wall of pain.

The only "good" thing about them is that, if I'm still long enough, the pain essentially goes away. So I managed to get my Master's degree because I could sit there and study and carefully work on paper or even type while I had a headache. But the moment I made a major body movement, bam! There I went again.
