Title: Starting to feel the pain
Post by newslang on Jun 17^th, 2008 at 4:11pm

I've taken excedrin migraine, ginger, peppermint and now I'm downing a Red Bull.

My head is so hot. I hate the fever that tags along. I'm terrified it's going to get bad. I guess I'm just bitching. :(

Ice cold rag helps with the fire eyes. Dont be chincy with the energy drinks ,hit it fast at the first sign of an attack. Try to calm yourself. Facing that kind of pain I know its hard but you can do it. Frozen peas works if you dont have a rag. Do you have any other abortives?
all the best

If you've got some O2 - get on it at the first sign.

What are you taking?

Sometimes 3 Excedrin ES and some strong coffee (together) or a Red Bull will kill one for me BUT be careful with the Excedrin -- they will cause rebounds if ya take too many.

Frozen peas will help with the "heat attack". Our thermostats go crazy for some reason. Right now you could hang meat in my house. Everyone is wearing overcoats and it's 100 degrees outside. I'm a little warm... :) and sweating...

Let us know how you're doing....
