I am sorry @alexgoldman2 for the misunderstanding. I found my last trial worked the best for me which was to place one serving in the tea ball and let it steep for several minutes in hot water. In fact I never removed the tea ball from my cup. I sipped the hot tea slowly without sugar or milk. Did you try the bag of ice on your head? It didn’t take the headache away for me but it did decrease the intensity. That was a big help so I could at least sleep. Tylenol offered no relief at all. I hope you get more information through the MRI results. Did your doctor suggest a pain medication for your headache? Mine did but I refused to take a painkiller. Toni
