@CaseyStrom I bought this- "TheraICE Rx Form Fitting Gel Ice Headache / Migraine Relief Hat, Cold Therapy Migraine Relief Cap, Comfortable & Strechable Ice Pack Eye Mask for Puffy Eyes, Tension, Sinus & Stress Relief." It has really helped my consistent headaches from a head injury. Julie

I don’t usually vent publicly, but I have had a tension headache for two days, going on three, and not much is touching it. Ugg. Anyone have any ideas on solutions?

Bipolar is hard on the teeth. Mouth guards can save your teeth. A regular cleaning helps dentists prevent cracked teeth and other mouth problems. If your mouth is dry from meds, use a hydrating mouth wash when you wake up at night. #bipolar #dentists #teeth #depression #anxiety
