What is ok to take for headache during PFS?

I get random intense headache/migraine ever since pfs. I'm tempted to take advil or something today. I'm so tired of this, these migraines last up to 4 days for me.

Please if anyone knows somethings that's ok for me to take?

I have, nothing happened. Advil (maybe last yr would be different, I don't think so tho).
Or CBD... or possibly even gaba or anti ndma agents, such as LiOr (Lithium Orotate, not the correct symbol, but I just abbrev. it like that).
Ibuprofen can be hard on the stomach though... if you're doing well it shouldn't screw you up (advil).
If you have platelet issues or "thin blood", or lots of vasoconstriction, proneness to strokes, etc, I would not take Aspirin (I never do, seems bad with chronic stim use (over a few yrs or a lot more if you incl. coffee, nicotine).
-Maybe MSM, CBD, MMJ, or fasting 24h to fix headaches (while taking nothing).

-Also @Reverse: Lie down in a cold dark room, apply pressure (not a ton) to temples with index finger... and use a wet towel if need be... Or hold pressure point on wrist by
major arteries (I guess), helps migraines for some.

Thanks, I'll try putting pressure to temples and wrist. Also I'll look into CBD.

Yeah IDK... I don't mind it but it's no panacea for my issues. Can see it help my mom a bit. But it interferes with Cytochrome P450, so for me, I try and take it before bed only,
and I need the "entourage effects", i.e. THC and CBD. I did that for 6 weeks or more, and slept near everyday, then 8 weeks after, I slept like 15-20 times in 50 days... ---> zero medical marijuana (took a lot to get used to it).
but I do have serious insomnia (not pfs, a long time ago, I had CFS symptoms). This is just me, normalizing.. possibly there will be lots of mineral balancing benefits for me, vis a vis TEI.
-I find when used at the right time it can change any anxious, depressed mood... but it's just no good for serious ADHD (for me... hyperactive). --It works wonders for this kid though (2 of the same conditions I have).

-There was a video, from a guy called Zenmonki re all that above but it's gone.
-CBD exhibits many of those properties. ---> I still kind of hate marijuana tho.
-I can't deny for a time I had better sleep than ever and that was after pssd and pfs mostly gone.
-Maybe CHN in hash and other compounds will be studied going forward for more specific patient-use-cases like those mentioned above (other cannabinoids).

-US govt has patents on several cannabinoids, despite their "War on Drugs."

Aspirin works like a charm!
