Thanks and an extra thanks for tracking me down on IM so I could get your answer sooner. The headache was gone before morning and I slept beautifully. I tried both the hot and cold and the pressure point so I'm not sure which one helped or how much was contributed by the cat who deigned to associate with me again. If there's a next time I'll try first one then the other in the spirit of scientific inquiry.
Painlessly yours,
Jane
