my saving grace.

i used to have an HSA account.

post December 2010 the rules were changing 

and

zero OTC drugs were to be purchased on my lovely card.

so, i decided to take matters into my own hands.

i binged.

i went to target and stocked up on:

prenatals, ibuprofen and multi vitamins etc.

now pregnant i can't take advantage of all the ibuprofen.

i'm sure john will do his fair share.

i had a few headaches and they passed.

but a few weeks ago i had a spliiiiiiiiiiiiiting one.

not a migraine 

(well i don't think it was as i haven't had one before and thought i would know if i have one)

but a really bad headache. the kind you go to bed with and wake up with.

i was talking to friend, amanda about this issue and she recommended 

the one

the only

Tiger Balm.

amanda instructed me to rub a lil dab on my temples and sit in cool air.

i felt instant relief.

instant.

this has seriously been my saving grace for any inkling of a headache.

careful the amount you use though.

my skin peeled a little, but a) i used too much and b) have sensitive skin.

i have it down now and within minutes of it on my temples

i feel like a new human.
