does anyone have any ideas for treating headaches if you're not supposed to be taking NSAIDs? please note that tylenol and acetaminophen DO NOT work for me. i know tumblr isn't a doctor but i'm crowdsourcing here

#i'm not supposed to take nsaids because of ~gi bleeding~ but i do it anyway because it's the only thing that actually works on me #my doctor isn't. happy about this #anyway.#i'm not supposed to take any nsaids right now because i have a procedure on tuesday and i'm supposed to quit 5 days in advance #should be easy right? it's not like i take them like candy! it's just a few doses a month!#nah of course yesterday i get a headache. starts mild. i try to just ride it out & drink fluids & take a nap & asked my aunt for tylenol #doesn't go away. becomes a splitting headache in the middle of the night & i cannot sleep. eventually i break down at 3 am & take ibuprofen #finally fall asleep pain-free at 4 am #and i just??? i hope this isn't an issue since the procedure is still 4 days out? i will try to avoid taking it again??#but like What Am I Supposed To Do
