No. Never.
A few tips, some of which have already been mentioned. And apologies, in advance, if you are already doing these things:
--Use the widest tires you can fit in the bike, at the lowest psi that works for you. (i.e., no rim strikes, no burping if you are running tubeless and no snakebites if you are using tubes.)
--Use a light grip on the handlebar, and keep your elbows bent so that they absorb some of the shock before it gets to your upper body.
--In the bumpiest stuff, get your butt slightly off the saddle - it helps to just unweight your saddle just slightly, so that the bike can move up and down under you.
If the above doesn't help, try a shock-absorbing seatpost and stem. There are various options on the market.
Really, though, I suspect you just happened to have a headache today.
