    Hi,

    I rarely take Ibuprofen and Paracetamol and have only taken them about 2 times in total in the past due to extreme fever.

    Now, I have never come across a worse headache and brain fog that I have now in my life.

    Which one is better?.

    ie; less side effects/more effective for treating headache/brain fog.

    Thank You.

    You have a serious affliction, the only cure is to remove the head or destroy the brain

    Hi,

    Thank You very much but I refrain from going to the website "dailymail.co.uk", I made a Google before this thread and the 2 top hits were "dailymail.co.uk" and dedicated not to use Google anymore.

    Sorry, Thank You.
    Thank you.

    You better stop using boards as well so...

    If you think that I have offended you by not using the dailymail then I will try to formulate by words in another way for you Proco OK?, What I am saying is the dailymail is not a proper newspaper and may be avoided if you are being serious.

    That was a joke... The overuse of Dailymail links on boards. No offense meant or taken :)

    Yes sorry.

    I am not making an excuse but when you have only gotten 2 hours of sleep in the past 36 hours, chronic headache, it is not so good to write and all this.

    thank you.

    Ooh. What games do you have in mind?

    Something like Trivial Pursuit or do you mean outdoor games like Kerbs?

    I find drinking all week and getting no sleep is great for a headache

    we're not allowed thats why, its against the charter for good reason.

    also acting like a dick and spamming 3 threads demanding that we do something is not the best way to request it.

    no.

    it was a simple question, not medical advice, just opinion based.
    I found out that it was paracetamol for headache.

    Some reading:

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/23115700/


    Relates to trnsion headache. Migraine/cluster headache would be different.

    There is no right answer to your question. Some people find paracetamol better, some ibuprofen, some need both together. I prefer ibuprofen for what it's worth.
