Hi Dakota! Will be on the CB after the updates more than likely. Hope to see ya there!


Outland!

Hi guys!

Thought I'd pop over and say 'hey'! Can't believe the discussion is about migraines - I'm a huge migraine sufferer, although they have been more manageable in the past few years. I started getting them when I hit puberty (hormonal, I guess) and haven't stopped since! My triggers seem to be not enough sleep, too much sleep, hormones,barometric pressure and muscle pain. Here in Canada we can buy codeine over-the-counter and that is what helps me best. I've learned to treat different headaches with different means though. For instance, weather-related and hormonal migraines sometimes respond to caffeine if I catch them early on. Others respond to anti-inflammatory drugs like Naproxen (I get migraines from jaw, neck and back muscular problems) and stretching best.

I always tell people that migraines like mine are a lifestyle, not anything less. They affect your whole life, your plans, your loved ones etc.... Pain in the butt!! I was so worried my daughter would develop them, but she's 14 now and only gets one bad headache at the beginning of her period - whew!

Hang in there guys!

Sorry to confuse everyone but when I replyed to Candace I accidentally ending up typing inside her quote box. I thought I judged it right but apparently didn't.oops!!!

nanaof8: I just responded to you on the DAYS board.

The one comment for outland I think was supposed to be for Greatbear 100. Greatbear 100, was in service for our country and got injured. You might be referring to a different post to outland so I hope I am not adding to anyone's confusion.

nanaof8: I am blessed posting w/ you on two boards!!

Now go rest your hand per Dr. Dakota's orders!!!

Outland, sorry I didn't get you a message, it was supposed tobe for Greatbear. Dakota called my attention. Must be the meds working over tiem. Sorry, but I think I was in lala land. Anyway, have a great day and I will try to post on BB if my left hand holds out. I will read anyway.

Love ya

Hello Ladies,

Hope everyone is well. Wanted to check in, I have been reading the comments on the B&B site, watching the episodes at night if I'm not too tired, and reading these posts as well.

I am recovering from a four car accident my youngest daughter and I were involved in last Thursday, leaving from my work. We are ok. The impact did cause me to immediately have the mother of all migraines!!! I've been dealing with a headache since Thursday. I had the weekend to rest and relax but have so much to do at work, which I think is good since it keeps my mind occupied.

I'll be posting later. Take care All!

Here is a message from Bremarie.

Hey guys, sorry you haven;'t heard from me. I was in the hospital. I had a seizure. I had two medications that didn't get along. Which I find rather odd , considering that I get them at the same pharmacy. And now thanks to them I can't drive for six months. And I live in a small town. I'd say could this get any worse, but I know it could. So if any of you ladies or gents live anywhere near Iowa City, let me know.

Don't know any more than that. She didn't say, as you can see, about the brain cancer.

We'll just hope that things go well for her. She is a great lady.

Thanks, Dakota, I need all the help I can get. I guess my thoughts are not coming out to my fingers as straight as I thought. Great posting with you anywhere we are. You are alwasys so thoughtful and considerate of everyone. If I didn't have these sites my days would be so long and boring.
Thank you and all for being there for me and the rest of us who need an outlet with good and understanding friends every day.

Girly, sorry to hear about your accedent, but happy to hear no one has very serious injury, the ones you have are bad enough, but hopefully not life threatening --unless you are like me and could threaten that with a bad headache. lol

Dwebster, thanks for the note from Bremarie. I don't knowher but my sympathies are with her and all of her problems. I think you said that she had brain cancer, and she has had a reaction from mixing medications. Makes me feel like I am complaining about nothing compared to what she is going through. I will definitely add her to my prayer list for everyday. That list seems to be growing by the day, but at the same time, I am gaining more friends that I CAN care about and pray for. It is so good to have friends to talk to and to be there for them when they need it. I feel so blessed that I have found all of you.

Love ya!!
