OY! My Aching Head!

It didn't start with the jack hammering/drilling on my street, but for a few days now, I've had a headache. Fortunately, this afternoon it began to slack off. While it felt like a migraine type, I'm not sure exactly how a migraine headache feels, because people I know who have described them seem to have them over a period of years. This is one of those few times that I've truly had an excruciating one that even medication (except in larger than "normal"--for me--dosage)didn't put a stop to in a short period of time. It also lead to pain in other parts of my body, so I guess I can't say the headache was "all in my head."
