“Miracle” Headache Cure

My head was pounding. My whole body pulsed with it. I felt as if a drummer were playing that fabulous drumbeat from the instrumental “Sing, Sing, Sing.” In fact, the whole band was in my head! Do you know the song? If not, play the video to get an idea of what was going on inside my head (if you are brave enough to know). This is the Benny Goodman big band playing Sing Sing Sing, featuring Gene Krupa at the end.

Now, I love that song! In fact, Mr. Tucker and I had that played at our wedding as the “exit song” as we left the altar. Even though I think the song is marvelous, I don’t want it throbbing in my head at 7:00 in the morning!

I didn’t ingest enough caffeine yesterday, so I had one of those awful caffeine headaches. If you are as addicted to caffeine as I am, you know exactly what I mean. Drinking half a pot of coffee didn’t banish the pounding. Taking a Tylenol didn’t relieve the pain.

I was frantic and frustrated. Through the haze of pain, I remembered a strange wire contraption that we had bought years ago in a boutique in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. We hardly ever think to use it, probably because when we have a headache we can’t think. In fact, I nearly tossed it in with the garage sale stuff, the last time I made a sweep through the house. I’m so glad I didn’t!

I know it looks stupid. But, Mr. Tucker slipped those wires over my skull and gently massaged my scalp for about three minutes and my headache was gone! This is not my skull, it’s the mannequin that sits on my mantle. But, I can’t show you my skull, because I won’t brush my hair this morning.

Now, I know you think I’m crazy, and once again, let me tell you that this is not a PayPerPost. It’s a public service announcement! I wanted to tell you where you might find one of these, but I didn’t know what to call it. I googled “headache remedy + massager thingie” and discovered that it is sometimes called a “Tingler Head Massager.” I’m not going to link to any of the websites I found that sell it, because I don’t know how legitimate they are. But, you can Google “Tingler Head Massager” and find one for yourself.

You need one! It’s a miracle! You can thank me later.
