I would like to know more about water treatment,but I do not know how to find e-mail addresses. Matthew , my clusterhead , has cycles every summer and again in winter. This last one is a real toughie. We don't have any med. ins. and he has had to take a sick leave because of the deamon. He ran out of imitrex a long time ago. He began taking excedrin migraine. It works sometimes but only in large doses . When this cycle began he was working in miami, we live in St.Pete. He had nothing to help him except the bottle of excedrin I left there on my last visit. So,as you can imagine whne the "band" started playing he went for anything to help. In 2 weeks he took approx. 200 excedrins. Of course that is terrible for his body, but I can't fault him for trying anything to eliminate the horrible pain he feels. The pharmasist told him if he continued this dosage his liver would begin to take damage in 1 month. That was already 3 weeks into it . Then he came home . I was cleaning out a drawer & found an imitrex pill. He was elated. We tried to ride out the pain with nothing but an ice pack. In exactly 3 hours the pain goes away just as quickly as it came, Suddenly! He was having 3-4 ch's a day . Now they are dropping off. The last 2 nights we slept in peace. However , he has one right now . They are not as frequent but almost MORE severe. It just amazes me the something can take ahold of your life so suddenly & not let go for so long. In the midst of all this @$%*, We are trying to raise our 19 month old little girl,and I am trying to get my business up & running . At least if he gets fired for missing soooo much work I can put him to work . On those nights the deamon comes, then he will not have to worry about making it to work. Also, his company considers him a risk, He climbs telephone poles all day. His boss is worried he is going to get an attach & fall of the pole , Of course it is not him getting injured that they are worried about . They don't want to be sued , for allowing him to climb. Anyway , thanx for all input & suggestions .
