Have a friend palpate your medial nerve in each hand . That is the area between the base of your index finger and the base of your thumb. You will know it when they hit it. Tell them to massage that area and it should be somewhat painful. Do it in both hands. Good luck.
What gets rid of headache when paracetemols don't work? Please help, I'm in sooooo much pain it's horrible!

"Without timely treatment, paracetamol overdose can lead to liver failure and death within days. Because of the wide over-the-counter availability of the drug, it is sometimes used in suicide attempts by those unaware of the prolonged timecourse, and high morbidity (likelihood of significant illness) and mortality associated with paracetamol-induced toxicity." says wikipedia in case you're interested😵

DrDon posted this in the wrong threadbut i figured it was meant to be here:
If you have had your headache more than 24 hrs or your vision gets blurred or you have a stiff neck or a rash or any unusual symptoms, please see a medical practitioner immediately.
