Oh She.....I could have written exactly what you just said. I just had my roommare take me to get a prescription and pay a bill...I am so fortunate that she is in my life right now, i don't know what i would do without her right now.

I wish you were closer.....it would be so nice to see and talk to a person face to face that feels exactly like I do. Take good care of yourself. Are you able to take some time off of work????

Go fragerance free, and buy an organic bed, your headache is most likely toxicological:
With all the snake oils, meds, and placebo suggestions; it took severe migranes like a cramp in the middle of my head and down the neck; to drive me to avoid chemicals, and spend a lot of money on a bed. 911 calls by my doctor, and the hospital visit, were absolutely no help for me, and made things worse. Desperation pushed me to make the best investment I can reccomend. Go fragerance free, and invest in a good organic bed. Sleep is when your brain does its maintenance cleaning. Make sure you know what "fragerance free" means. I mean complete fragerance free(no chemical fragerance, cleaners, etc, at all in your home; especially your bedroom). Once you get all the fragerance out, buy an organic bed down to the last pillow and sheet. I don't care if you have to buy a cheap metal frame, and get a single three inch mattress; everything must be organic. Strip your bedroom down to the concrete or tile floor, remove everything except the bed. Everything, I mean the clothes in the closet as well. Seal any vents with food grade sandwich bags, use a window unit for cooling. Suck clean air into a window every night, by pushing out another window or the doorway. No chemicals enter that room, not on your person(toiletries and cosmetics must be organic as well, no perfumes), not on pets, no cleaners, no insecticides, nothing enters that room. For heat-I hope you live in a warmer climate, bundle up, or try a radiant heat source. Now you can sleep, and your toxicological migrane will ease very shortly, if it is anything like mine. I went from a water bed and heater, to a cotton/wool bed. Good luck-my brain cramp went away by the second night in my new bed, after two months of severe non-stop pain.

Note: with an organic bed, you will need to condition the room in humid climates, as mold and mildew can be a problem. Special casings are also recomended for hygene(mites and such). Even washing your hands with regular soap can keep you from getting clean sleep, your hands can find their way around your face, while you sleep; and that can be enough to disrupt sleep. Even your hair and skin can track fragerance from other sources on to pillows. If you are this sensitive, bath with organics prior to bed each night and wash bedding often. I am so sensitive at times, the Urea(Ammonia) in my own sweat becomes toxic. Not everyone is this sensitive all the time. Hope this obsessivly long paragraph helps. Don't mind the grammer and spelling.

I don't have a choice right now... I am in so much pain, can't walk upright, fever, chills, and really feel like crap. No pun intended.

Thanks to everyone that wished me well.....It's nice to know who your friends really are. Just to say I care, I feel for you or whatever is so important when you are not feeling good.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it.....

Hey there lady.

Just checking in to see how you are feeling?

Herc,

Been on the couch since Friday afternoon. Starting to feel like I am *MOLDED* to it...LOL!!!!! I am planning on getting off of it tomorrow, and becoming human again soon. Thanks for asking....

Oh Wen, you've been through the ringer! I'm so sorry you've had all this pain and trouble. I hope you're feeling better today. Are there any stores near you that will deliver groceries, meds, etc?

Please take care!

Hodge

How are you doing She?

I too, suffer from migraines that knock me out for days. Nothing would work (even prescriptions) unless I took an Excedrin Migraine right when I felt one coming on. Then I would lie down in a dark room and close my eyes.

I had the flu the last two weeks, and had a SEVERE headache with it. Thought it was a migraine at first, but nothing helped. You may be suffering from one of the flus that are going around. I found out that there are so many different types. They all don't affect the intestinal tract-some are just the headache, aches and pains, and exhaustion. Hopefully when you went to the hospital they were able to help you out.

There were a couple of days, while I was sick, that I wanted to go to the hospital because my headache was so bad I was dizzy and couldn't stand up. But I tried to lie still and drank lots of ginger ale. Orange juice seemed to help pull me through it.

Hope you are feeling better! I know the agony a migraine can bring on.

I have a great massage therapist. She and my chiropractor have really make my headaches less frequent and less painful when they do come.

Nie,

Is she willing to travel?? LOL!!! I actually just called in for tomorrow too. Just to weak, still feel like crap, and not doing well enough to return to life just yet. Maybe on Monday.

Ooooooh I feel for ya She Cat. Migraines are the worst.

This might sound completely nuts but.. try drinking two tablespoons of lemon juice. Straight up. I know it works for some people (works wonders on my step-mom) and not for others. Advil works for me thank god. However if acidic juices make you queasy then don't try this one!

Hope it gives you a break soon.
