Title: This is Bullcrap
Post by Lawrence on Aug 28^th, 2009 at 5:29am

Went to the doc today, for a substantiation exam as to why i'm on sick leave, exams going normal.....
no issues... ::)

towards the end of the exam I can feel a CH coming on, so I grab my Imitrex and whip out the statdose pen with lightning fast reflexes and service myself :D
no problem.... :)

the time on the clock is about 9 am 8-)

alright...
later on today im watching tv
time is about 4:30
and I feel another hit coming :-?
NO PROBLEM 8-)
since i'm at home I grab the o2
hit aborted :D

so now im walking around waiting for the rematch ::) that comes usually when i abort these creeps using oxygen.
and it doesnt come back
but WHAT DOES COME BACK
IS THIS NAGGING, CONSTANT, ACHING, SHARP, BUT NOT SO SHARP? DULL SHADOWING SORENESS THING THATS BEEN LINGERING IN THE TOP OF MY HEAD FOR LIKE THE PAST 10 HOURS NOW.

I can get it to go away using oxygen and trex, but it just comes right back >:( :-/

lawrence...That is what was happening to me.!

I started drinking (Monster) energy drink, and it helps a lot. Sometimes I forget, and go for 3-4 hrs, and then DUH! remember to drink it....GONE.
good luck lorac

Hit the energy drink, with caffeine and taurine in it. Red Bull, Monster, there's a lot out there. It really helps to get rid of the shadows when I get them.

Worst case scenario, if the Red Bull doesn't knock out the shadow, I will take one, only one, extra strength Excedrin. Usually, the drink does the trick.

Or you can learn to live with it, after about three years you don't even notice it there.

Not joking
