Relapsed after 6 months not have a horrible headache for days

So I dont know why I relapsed but I did...

I then went on a 7 day binge mainly because I kept trying to get rid of the hangover but it just started the party over as you all may know...

I now have a horrible headache right between my eyes that comes and goes...

I feel so much pressure sometimes my head feels like it is a pumpkin getting run over....

Has this happened to anyone else will it go away? Tricks to make it go away?

Let me know

I'm glad you're back.

Have you thought about talking to your dr about the headaches? If they persist, it might be a good idea.

A seven day binge may be why you've got a bad headache. That much drinking would make anyone sick. Give sobriety a go and I'll bet that headache goes away. If it doesn't, see your doctor.

It wasn't unusual for me to have a headache for several days after a binge...but like Anna said, if you're concerned see your Dr?

Sounds like you triggered a migraine.

The trick that turned out to be both the best and worst advice I ever received was the old "hair of the dog" trick. Best hangover cure ever invented, also the best way to purchase your first class ticket to alcoholism. Wishing you the best.

My headaches when drinking were worthy of the Guinness book of world records. I truly believe hitting my head with a tire iron would have felt better than those day after headaches. And yes, I also cured them by drinking more.

I won't tell you what you already know because you had six months. They do go away.

Give your body time. If they persist go to a doctor .

Are you feeling better?

Tricks to make it go away?

The only thing that ever worked for me, was the passage of time.

That sucks, because we all want a quick remedy, but I've found that there is no such thing. Many times I would have a couple of beers to avoid the agony, but as you know, that just continues to add days to your bender.

Man, just reading this brings back the memories. I never want to go on a multi-day bender again!

I remember so clearly waking up feeling like death warmed over and hating myself and wishing I were dead. I swear I will NEVER go back there.
