Thought or Rant of the day!!!

That was actually really funny. I lolled.
I remember when I got my root canal, I was so terrified that I was going to feel everything, because I had read somewhere that the anesthesia contains a paralytic and an amnesiac but it doesn't actually contain a pain-killer or a putter-to-sleeper, and I was all terrified I was going to feel everything and not be able to move or tell anyone and then just forget about it. Which, actually, might have happened--the only thing I remember was them sticking the needle in my arm and then I was like "Hey are you gonna start?" and they were done. :]

That is not only the funniest thing to ever exist, it is the funniest dental related thing to ever exist. I DIED. *intensity*

I had my wisdom teeth cut out.. I was given the prescriptions for the medication I was supposed to take before the appointment. I was loopy when my mother dropped me off at the office.. then on top of the medicine I was given, they gave me happy gas.. I can't remember any of it.. I do however know that I was totally out of it and enjoyed the fact of not having any pain for several hours after the surgery!

Somehow one of my two month old tires was completely destroyed by a simple nail. Woooooo... I had so much extra money after the holidays to spend $130 on a new tire that i just bought. :/

Also, my big ass cat makes big ass meows and it's too late for that crap.

Players that do not log in, causing my character to die because he wont leave the woman he cares for. Ugh!


The worst part of this, I know the player doesn't log in often, I KNOW that it is going to get my character killed...but I don't do anything differently because I feel breaking character on OOC influence kills the enjoyment of the game.

... and I applaud you for it, cdls. Sorry about your char.

I am a lifelong sufferer of headaches and migraines. Because of a health issue, I can no longer take painkillers of any sort (though if the pain gets bad enough, there's a fairly good chance that I'll take the drugs, health issue be damned) and am reduced to molesting an ice pack, keeping the A/C on low, and drinking tea and coffee to help with the pain. Because of that same health issue, I am finding it difficult to drink tea or coffee and to eat anything, which I need to do before I drink, especially if it contains caffeine, because not doing so makes me sick. Not being able to squish a headache in the first day almost invariably turns it into a migraine and none of the things I can do allow me to squish the headache.

My mommy brought me a Kindle earlier.

While I do feel sorry about your headaches *I* hate it when people reduce the font size of text in post.... GRRR!

Thanks I have lost quite a few because I was unwilling to compromise on this, but it certainly doesn't make it easier when it is one you enjoy playing. On a side note though, the timing was quite perfect, considering his last comment to her.

See why did you have to leave your post like that? Now you have my interest up...

(size enlarged so that I don't get a headache. Yeah, I hear that. I also have suffered from migraines for the past 35 years or so, although luckily in my case they usually go away after a single course of ibuprofen. Haven't had to take anything stronger (although there was one time I had one that lasted three days where the only thing that finally cured it was a super spicy pizza. That is now my weapon of last resort). But yeah, if I don't treat the headaches right away, it develops into a full blown migraine (in fact, I have a headache this morning. Ibuprofen hasn't fully worked on it.) So, it is a real bummer if you can't take medicine. One thing I've heard (besides the spicy pizza that worked for me) is cold on forehead, while simultaneously using a hot washcloth on the back of the neck. This did not work for me, so I can't recommend, but if you want to give it a try....

Caffeine in and of itself can be a migraine trigger (as can the withdrawal from it), so you might want to try tapering off it. (Although you are absolutely correct that it can mitigate the pain).

My migraines have plagued me for twenty years, involve ridiculous light/skin sensitivity, are similar to my bouts with heroin withdrawal, which speaks vastly of their depth, and can only be managed with caffeine-including medication. Mommy's best hereditary trait yet.

The last headache I can remember having was the day after I'd had my wisdoms out, when I spent half the day sleeping and half the day disposing of the contents of my stomach.


TotD: I got to drive on Hwy 27 today!
Granted, I was on it for thirty seconds, but still!
My mom calls me ridiculous because I keep begging for her to let me drive. I tell her to enjoy it while it lasts.

I'll definitely give the cold/hot thing a try. I have an ice pack to my head a lot of the time, but I wouldn't have thought to try anything with heat. Heck, I'd even give the pizza thing a try if I was still able to eat bread. I'll do just about anything to get rid of a migraine.

As far as the caffeine, I try to limit my intake because I don't want to be dependent on it and I want it to actually work when I do use it. These last couple days are probably the first time I've had either tea or coffee in a couple weeks.

Fever, sore throat and nose running. I hate it!
