National Headache Awareness Week June 1st-7th

Many of us use techniques like massage (which I love), heat, cold or compression to relieve headache pain, but these methods according to the experts (and my wife) are rarely effective. Only 8% resulted in any type of pain relief. And the relief was usually temporary, lasting only as long as the technique continued.

Do you really want to get rid of that headache for good? Then "Marvin Gaye, and get it on!" That's the good news from the folks at Southern Illinois University. The researchers found that 50 percent of women surveyed said sex gets rid of their headaches. A lovemaking session releases the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.

My wife suffers terribly from headaches / migraines, so I'm hoping to use this information to my advantage. However, I still think she'll find an excuse to get out of it.
