It's that time of year again . . .black cats and witch's hats are in our rear view mirror and ahead of us is a sea of turkeys, wrapping paper, candles, elves and more. That's right, it's the Holiday Season, and while that brings much joy to many people, it can also bring on headaches or migraines.
That's why the makers of Excedrin® Extra Strength are inviting you to "Take a Holiday from Headaches" by following these simple steps from Dr. Keri Peterson, MD:
- Stick to your regular routine. Eating, sleeping and exercising as you do the rest of the year can help reduce the chances of getting a headache. (1)
- Manage your time and plan ahead. Coordinate plans and responsibilities in advance with relatives and friends, compose set menus when hosting a party and try to purchase gifts early so you're not rushing at the last minute. (1)
- Stay in ventilated spaces. As you browse through the mall, watch out for those scented candles or perfume is you are sensitive to smells. (2)
- Eat and drink in moderation. Eat, drink and be merry, but try not to consume sweets or alcoholic beverages in excess, as they could trigger headaches. (2)

Cooking and cleaning for everyone is a big headache during the holidays. Everyone seems to be relaxing but I'm running all over the place.

My holiday headache is finding the perfect gift for my mom. She and I have very similar tastes, but she has everything...and a gift card seems so impersonal.
ReplyDeleteMy biggest headache is fitting everything in. From gift purchases, to planning, decorating, family, work, house… This season is always so full and non stop GO GO GO :)
ReplyDeleteMy headache is I am sewing around the clock for work and I miss the joy of the holidays. I love to cook and miss the celebration
ReplyDeleteMy biggest holiday headache is not only buying all the gifts, but then I have to wrap them all! It's fun, but I always end up staying up too late on Christmas eve.
ReplyDeleteKeeping the cats from destroying the tree and decorations is a HUGE headache, I have to buy a new tree this year because they wrecked our old one. Also, having enough money to do everything I want. I know I really don't "need" it all, but I grew up with carnival christmas and sometimes I get sad I can't do the same for my son littlesillysally at gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'm in the cat headache boat, too - I can't leave my presents under the tree or the cats will play and scratch at them, and the rabbit will EAT them!

Usually my biggest holiday headache is the arrival of family, but once they are there and we start talking about old times, I am glad they are there. When they leave and we have to clean up is when the real headache begins.

My biggest headache is narrowing down my list of goodies I want to make.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is my biggest headache during the holidays, and not just because it can make getting around challenging. I'm prone to weather fluctuation migraines. Just give me a stretch of cold crisp air with no snow in the forecast! :) pickleberries at hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteMy biggest is preparing dinner for 30 people who come over every year;.
