Someone please pass the MOTRIN!

Have you ever had this headache that just lingers? I mean, it's gone for a while and then you listen to someone talk for a few hours or you think "deep thoughts" and then your head starts to ache? When Jordan was 2 years old my mother in law took her to a doctor in MS because she was keeping her for me and Jeff. We went somewhere I don't recall. Anyhow, the doctor came in and asked Jeff's mom if Jordan (our oldest daughter) was on any medications. She declared, "I'm taking MOTRIN!" - So this has become sort of an inside joke. Also, the doctor was shocked that a two year old even knew what Motrin was. Seriously though sometimes I think that we probably take too much headache medicine and then we become immune to it like antibiotics. So therefore people walk around in ill moods and just deal with a headache. Why do you think we are bombarded with commercials talking about rapid-release tablets, all day long relief? I just want to know if anyone agrees with this? I mean, I have found nothing that will really take away a headache except for coffee and excedrin. Then you are "jacked up" on caffeine and you crash and the cycle starts all over again. My mom used to get headaches when we were little. She went to the doctor because they were so painful. When he found out she had three small children at home, he said oh- these headaches are a result of all these children stressing you out. Maybe when they move out, the headaches will stop. (HEE HEE) What a relief???? Anyhow, poor mother now she has three grown children and four grandchildren and we are still giving her headaches. Mother, I apologize but we can start a headache support group or something. A Tylenol anonomous group or something. Food for thought....
