Headache Alert!

Advantages: Nice and compact, lighter than the DS.
Disadvantages: Expensive, Headache causing becuase the screen's too bright!

....00 each and if it's an older game you can get for about £20.00 or on 2 for £30.00! Nintendo DS Lites are not designed so that you sit plugged into the TV all day, they are meant to be taken around and travelled with. They do not require you to hunch over a controller all day and have many other methods of control. Such as voice, Pen and game controls. If you use your pen you can always buy a pack of 5 new ones from around £2.00! THE BAD Nintendo DS Lites are not really great to be travelled with they are like a book if you keep looking down at them you will get a headache and even those people who can manage will find not to be able to with the Nintendo DS Lite as it has quite a bright screen which can make you feel dizzy as well as sick! The require you to bend your neck all the time or hold it up in the air. Either way your neck...

4head: For Headaches

Advantages: Effective on tension headaches, Easy to use, Fewer side effects than oral analgesics
Disadvantages: Expensive, May irritate some skin conditions

...I have always suffered from headaches. As a child, I used to have very intense headaches every few months; I would get a pulsating pain on one side of my head (usually the left) that would last for several hours and would be accompanied by sensitivity to light and noise, and nausea. I suspect that to many of you reading this, the word "migraine" will be springing to mind. That is what my parents and I (as I got older) always suspected, but our GP always refused to believe this, as it is a fairly unusual thing in a child, affecting only about 5% of pre-teens (most suffers are aged between their twenties and forties). Trust me to be different, eh? The result was that these headaches went untreated, as regular over-the-counter painkillers cannot even dent a migraine once it is underway, as anyone who has had one will tell you...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

I've got a headache!

Advantages: Avoids use of drugs
Disadvantages: Makes eye water!

...I've got a headache! Sounds familiar? Most people suffer with headaches at some time or other, some are very real and painful others may just be an excuse! I'm concentrating on the real headaches today and just what you can do to rid yourself of the pain. Tension headaches ********************** Tension headaches are typically caused by the busy lives we lead, both at work and home. They appear to be more common in women than men and it is estimated that around half of all women suffer from at least one tension headache every two weeks. Have you ever felt as if someone had put a tight band across your forehead? and pain at the back of your head and neck? Chances are that was a tension headache. What do you do? ****************** Many people don't like swallowing pills all the time, especially when headaches keep on recurring...

4Get Your Headache With 4Head

Advantages: Can work
Disadvantages: Can also not work

...4Head Headache relief?.. I have always been a fairly headachey person getting one or more headaches per week. I have always had no trouble in popping a few pills to stop the headache (you could probably hear me rattle sometimes!). However one day a few months back I was at work and my headache was so bad even after taking a couple of strong Paracetamol tablets I decided to pop into the chemist next door and pick up one of these. I was surprised that it cost a penny under £5 for such a small little tube but my head was driving me mad so I didn't worry about the money too much. I was even more shocked though once taking the tube out of the box and popping the lid from the tube how little of the product was inside the tube. It comes in a stick type form where you screw up the bottom part of the tube to release the ointment...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

No more headaches

Advantages: Can be used anywhere
Disadvantages: None

...I first decided to try 4head a couple of years ago when I started suffering migraines. My main reason for trying it was I hated taking pain killers when this was an alternative so I gave it a go. What it says on the box ********************** A natural way to treat headaches when it is applied onto your forehead. It is a natural preparation that is so practical because it is a non-greasy and colourless formula. Also, due to the fact that it is a natural preparation, the topical application of 4head is not restricted and doesn't interfere with other medication that you are taking. 4heads main ingredient is levomenthol ,which gives it the lovely peppermint smell. It is suggested that this works as the levomenthol relaxes the local blood vessels, which cause the sensation of coldness and/or tingling, which is then followed by its...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

Got A Headache?

Advantages: Is quite effective
Disadvantages: Can sting and is not for very sensitive skin.

...4 head is a natural remedy without pills. Each pack contains enough for more than 100 applications so although 4head is £5.95 if you think what you are saving on tablets it does offer good value for money. I would say that 4head is good to use if you haven't got a major headache, but I have found that it stings a bit. I have used 4head quite often during my pregnancy though I find that paracetamol tablets are more effective. 4head is great if you have problems swallowing tablets or pills. Also you don't need food or drink like you do taking tablets and because of this 4head is good to use whilst on the go. The package is small enough to fit in your handbag or pocket so easy to take out with you and use whenever you need to. 4head is a little white stick with a pink label. You can apply this whenever you need to unlike tablets...

Review of 4Head Topical Use Headache Medicine

Pounding headache? Take an aspirin.

Advantages: Ummm . . . can't think of any
Disadvantages: Expensive - minimal relief, if any.

...£6! For something that doesn't work very well - I could buy bucketloads of aspirin for that price. As I am writing this, I have a pounding headache. I work at a computer most of the day, and it could be due to eyestrain. I asked my workmates if they had any aspirin or paracetamol - to no avail. However, one kindly soul had a stick of 4head. I must admit I was sceptical. However, I had nothing to lose, so I might as well give it a go. It is advertised as a "natural", "alternative", pain relief. (This is the usual sort of ploy used to flog expensive products to gullible people). Aspirin provides natural pain relief for a fraction of the price. It was discovered thousands of years ago (in 400BC!), as it can be extracted from a tree - I think it is the oak (not sure). A quick trip to google informs me that it is the willow that...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

Swap your headache for a buzz

Advantages: Natural Remedy
Disadvantages: Tingles slightly and makes me worry that I smell

...Overall View: I like this product alot, although it seems very similar to a thing which I often use called Tiger Balm, which is much cheaper, and probably works just as well. Does it Work?: That would be a yes, and not only that, but it works quite quickly too. I would say that once I have applied it my headaches seems to have disappeared within about 5 minutes maximum. Not only does it get rid of my headache, but it also perks me up a bit too. About 20 seconds to a minute after you have applied it you find that the area on which you have applied it starts to tingle and feels really cold, yet slightkly hot at the same time if that makes any sense what so ever! It is a very strange sensation, but it certainly takes your mind off yiour headache for a while. By the time you have gotten used to the feeling and start to think...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

headache sticks.

Advantages: fast acting and cooling
Disadvantages: not good for sensitive skin

...Hey folks if like me you get fed up of popping pills every time you get a headache then this is the product for you. its combination of menthol and geranium oils help to soothe and relive the pain of a headache. 1 stick last ages, though if you are passing wilkinsons then they do their own version of this product at a much lower price. 99p for exactly the same product. There is also a similar product on a liquid form available from good health shops, which is called migrastick, it comes in a little glass bottle so not ideal to carry around in your pocket as i do with my stick. But this version contains mint and lavender. Ideal for bed time use. The mint in both products has the effect of cooling the skin and it also helps to clear the sinuses. apply to your forehead, temples and the nape of your neck. I find that it seems...

Review of 4Head Headache Relief

4headaches and really works!

Advantages: Natural ingredients, Quick effect.
Disadvantages: Price.

...I am a bad sufferer of headaches, and I admit that I find it difficult to swallow tablets, so finding pain relief used to be quite difficult for me. However, that all changed when I came across 4head a few years ago. 4head comes in a little tube and looks somewhat like a mini deodorant stick. All you have to do is rub it on your forehead and temples, and then wait for it to take effect. After applying it, your skin feels slightly cold and tingly, due to the cooling effect of the levomenthol that is incorporated into it. The levomenthol is a natural painkiller that helps block pain signals caused by headaches. And luckily, it smells pleasant too! I have to be honest, I really didn't think this product would work, but I found that it works a lot faster than tablets do, and as it contains only natural ingredients, you are not...
