Should I just take the Ibuprofin and shut her up? Or what reason could I give her as to not have to take meds and shut her up?

Tylenol is better for a headache... Ibuprofin is better for muscle aches.

If you have complained to your wife about your head ache and she suggested taking ibuprofin you have two choices either take the medicine as she suggested or shut up about the pain. My husband always does this and it drives me nuts. He will complain of pain yet won't do as I suggest like taking ibuprofen. Yet he keeps on complaining about the pain. Ibuprofen is great for headache pain and if you only take it once in a while it won't hurt your body. If you want a non medicine cure for the headache try putting vinegar in hot water and dipping a cloth in it and wringing it out and putting it on your forehead. Lay down in a quiet, darkened room and replace the cloth as it gets cool. This really helps a headache.

First you have to ask yourself some questions...
Like WHY DO I HAVE A HEADACHE in the first place...
Are you prone to get headaches, I mean do you get them often?
Are you DEHYDRATED?
Dehydration will cause a bad headache...
Are you a coffee drinker?
Have you had too much or not enough COFFEE today?
Did you drink last night?
HAPPY NEW YEAR BTW.
And the final thing I can think of is, have you been drinking a lot of water, or just drinking a lot of fluids?
if the answer is yes to this, then perhaps you have FLUSHED out too many MINERALS from your body, MAINLY SALTS...
So...
Lay off the coffee or drink a cup, stop drinking so much, or drink lots of water, and replenish your MINERALS/ SALT...Do this by eating some salty foods, or just, if you can STOMACH IT, take about a 1/2 of a teaspoon of salt and wash it down with a glass of water.
The last resort, besides the TYLENOL, or Ibuprofen, ...
PRESSURE POINTS on your head.Around your temple area...
Place your Thumb on your TEMPLE and you INDEX, RING and MIDDLE finger on your forehead...right on the bumpy part above your eyes.
Or find pressure points on the back of your head, right below that lump, on the back of your head.
Or just DRINK SOME MORE BOOSE, lol my g.f. says, or just go lay down, and take a nap...AND TAKE SOME TYLENOL...lol

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

You can try accupressure. Just squeeze really hard the webbing between your index finger and your thumb. It works right away, the only problem is that the relief is short lived so you have to do it a lot. Good luck, It doesn't work for everyone, and it only works for me sometimes.

I dont like to take them either but sometimes ( if it bad enough to mention it to others ) then just take something and it is gone before you know it and life goes on, easy. On occasion I dont think they can harm, but not regularly, relying on them for every little pang.
