Hi Jacquie,
I can empathize. It's best if you take painkillers with food anyway -- otherwise, it can be hard on the stomach, not to mention the kidneys and/or liver. I think it's better to deal with the pain rather than letting it go on, for 2 reasons:
1. The earlier you can handle headache pain, the sooner it will go away. Sometimes if you wait until it's time for a meal, it gets so bad that nothing you take will help you.
2. What happens when we're not feeling well? -- we sometimes/often go for comfort food! So, the binders in the aspirin or anacin or excedrin is NOTHING compared to the carbs in an ice cream sundae.
Yesterday, I was completely incapacitated by a classic migraine. By the time I could eat again, I had taken 2 doses of migraine meds. You have to take care of yourself. I was then comfortable enough to eat a bowl of soup. I didn't lose weight yesterday, but I'm feeling well enough now to enjoy my weekend.
Feel better.
