I drink Chinese tea to get rid of the headaches. Good homemade remedy.

[dentz00]

Just 9 days more for myself!!! lol

I am a tea fiend...I buy it in bulk and have my own strainers haha. Also, it sounds preachy I know, but eating healthy and exercising do wonders for both body and mind. My only headaches are from allergies now...doh

Quick tip: TAKE BREAKS!! I overextended myself the first month of studying, was going like 7-9 hours a day, and it was just too much - i've been on antibiotics twice, once for an inner ear infection which made me dizzy everyday and it got worse if i tried to study. I'd be happy with just a little headache

I have the exact same problem. If I start studying at 8:30 in the morning, by the time I hit mid-afternoon I have a rockin' headache. I've found that chewing gum usually makes it worse, but that eating dark chocolate (random I know) and taking a quick post-lunch power-nap usually help.

I sometimes go for a 20 minute walk. That helps.
Also, I've noticed, when I have bad posture when sitting for long hours, I get a headache-- I try to remind myself to sit straight.

My schedule is pretty crazy. I am working 8 hours per day. I workout at least 1 hour per day after work. I eat organic food for most part. I am putting 4-5 hours per day.

Does insomnia count? Cause I am sleeping 1-2hr and studying constantly. This is absolutely not good for my health.

 

[dentz00]

are you retaining what you study and is it showing when you do practice questions?

haha "advil like they're skittles."

 

[molar3]

lol !! i use to pop advil too but then i felt like that was bad, so i just started trying to eat healthy (that hasnt been going to well though......im addicted to orange soda AHHH) but i also take vitamins and drink lots of fruit smoothies that i make at home to give my brain and body some damn energy. when i get really frustrated i go out in my neighborhood for a long run and blast the rocky soundtrack on repeat........i wish i was kidding ahahaaa

 

[dentz00]

i take motrin/advil as well..

i just dont want to over do it with that, it can have serious affects on our bodies, so what we may think is okay its really not.

ive been trying icy smoothies, kinda sorta helping.. not really.

i get shoulder pain from stresssing out a lot..

 

[lmaozedong1]

I would usually go to Starbucks and get around 5-6 shots of coffee and that usually worked.lol

 

[flyingforever]

Wow guys, I don't take any medications for headache. Never will.

 

[nyr201]

i work out and eat healthy too but too bad i study 10x more than i do both of those lol so the stress wins over the anti-stress methods....cannot wait til this is all over
