Let’s Be Honest, Having a Headache SUCKS!
Dealing with headaches can be both a physical and emotional struggle.
Not only does it limit your ability to exercise, stay strong, or mobil, but drains your energy, affects your mood, and makes it nearly impossible to get anything done.
It’s natural to take a painkiller just to get by but, as you know, the longer that you sit at your desk or if you’re stressed out, they seem to keep coming back with no end in sight .
Despite all of this, the pain persists and shows no signs of fading away.
If this situation sounds familiar to you and your headache, rest assured that you’re not alone.
