headache whenever i get a headache it’s right behind my eyebrows and it’s a dull, constant ache so whenever i say i have a headache eugene takes my hand and uses acupressure: he pushes his thumb right in the middle of my palm. the pain disappears almost immediately. but eventually i have to tell him to stop pressing my hand, that my hand now hurts. he lets go, and the headache, almost immediately, comes back.
