I know I don't have it that bad, but I am in a whining mood.  Just got off prednizone and having a long day of back to back to back hits...... thanks to caffeine, taurine and maxalt, they aren't high on the kip scale but I am just in need to vent (YES, vent is Frammy for whine).

I just passed another kidney stone this week and now the headaches are ramping up a bit (still not the worst). 

Anyway, caffeine+maxalt makes me feel very anxious, so although the pain isn't as bad as usual, I am very nervous.

All this and my wife has had to pick up the slack and that makes me feel so bad.........

Well, it was nice to get that off my chest......... time to end the whine, bathe the kids, brush their teeth, put them to bed........ and hope I can sleep.

Thanks for reading!

oh my, I'm sooooo sorry!!!!

Geez, kidney stones and CH...

You must be one tough fella just to be able to put 2 words together at this point!

Hang in there!!!!

Eric,

We all whine...from time to time.  It's the nature of the beast within and our balls to deal with it head on.

From time to time we NEED to vent to allow ourselves to regroup and battle on.  It's the deep inhale to muster forward in the fight.

We got your back...vent all you need to.

Hey Eric - hope your prevents kick in soon. Hang in there kid.

Thanks folks.  There is something very comforting about be able to whine, get a little support, and (hopefully) move forward.

I can not stand the side effects of the meds I have been on for both the stone and the headaches.  I can barely sleep even when the pain is temporarily neutralized.

OK, the whine is now really over.  Thank you for your kind words!  It is always nice to get a little extra support.  I just wish my wife didn't have to deal with this.  She is the real victim.

Feeling for you brother..

Don

Hnag in there....like what else can you do??? ;) Take care brudder. [smiley=hug.gif]

My friend, there is a big difference between whining, which is a continual complaining about circumstances and venting once in a great while about a circumstance you need to get off your chest.  Trust me, if you start whining you will get your butt kicked by this crowd.  When you vent you get our support and prayers.  Vent when needed.  You are not one to whine.

This pain makes us all tough but it builds and builds until you just have to have an outlet and this is the best place to let it out, we all understand and can relate as much as we wish we could not.
Hang in there my brother and vent as much as you need.

I'm with Jerry.

You aren't whining.  An occasional vent is good for the soul ;)

I hope things improve quickly.

And for your sanity. If you didn't vent the problems would build up and get worse.

Best wishes for things to improve for you.

From one Eric to another,

Venting is my outlet of choice. I enjoy burning the ears of all that will listen. My rants and vents tend to be a little more colorful at times.

All pressures must have an outlet, hydraulic, pneumatic, heat, cold, and clusters. It's a state law I swear to god it is. Anyway, Have fun venting, I know I do.

Eric
