sorry just need a general rant and some advice.

I have a mountain of uni work to do by tomoorow and im suffering with a banging headache, still neck and aching body. Im sat wearing sun glasses to type my work out as the light is hurting my eyes and making my head worse. Any ideas what I can take to get rid of the headache and body aches. ive had a sleep that didnt help, im allergic to ibroprofen and co-codimal so any other suggestions would be great.

thanks
em

    Aspirin, a square meal, plenty of water or squash, a good brush of the teeth and a quick get up stretch and walk at least every hour and an open window might get you through.

    Just a query - have you been checked out at the doctors?

    Stiff neck / aches
    Headache
    Sensitivity to light

    all symptoms of Meningitis...

    Probably nothing of the sort, but if you are still feeing unwell I would go and get checked out.

    Ya parcetamol and a good sleep will be great. I used to have this type of headache when I was at uni too. In my case, it was because I left everything to be done at the last moment.

    Aspirin is not advisedif ibuprofen cannot be tolerated-same class of drugs. Stick with paracetamol
