The razor is a big hit with hubby. You can get bulk blades at Costco. It does shave a lot closer.

Headache - It's allergy season - take an allergy otc med. Pseudophed is just a decongestant - you need something with an antihistamine in it for sneezing, itchy eyes, etc. If you take chlorphenamate - <sp?> it will make you tired.

The new "tension" headache meds are just tylenol, aspirin and caffeine. So, I just make my own.

I take 3 ibuprophen for headaches, but the best cure for me when I really get a bad headache is sex. Hard to believe, but it does work.

I buy the generic stuff, it's just as good.

Also, squeeze the fatty part of skin/tissue between your thumb and pointer finger really hard and that helps with headaches - accupressure point. This is just temporary relief, doesn't last.

Also, if you know someone who has a "real" job - see if they have "Pain Aid" packets. These work really well for me. The ingredients are:

Acetaminophen 110 mg, Aspirin 162 mg, Salicylamide 152 mg and Caffein 32.4 mg.

Did you ever see The Bird Cage with Robin Williams and that other guy - remember Hank Azarria giving the other guy his SPIRIN pills? and he said it was aspirin with the "A" scratched off!

LOL!

Hope you feel better.
