I'm not a big fan of Halloween, but because too much sugar can give me a splitting migraine. At the Fox Run Mall in Durham, there was a candy store that I had to avoid at all costs or spend the rest of my day in pain.

Enduring the gods end, life altering migraine at the moment myself since it was brought up. The kind I want to crawl into a dark closet and drill a hole in my own head to ease the pain. But, we're insanely short handed at the moment, and unless it's to go to the ER, they're BEGGING me not to leave.

Work or a holiday? If it's the former good luck, and if the latter enjoy yourself. :)

My God man! Drilling holes in his your head isn't the answer!

I wish I could use those for migraines... but I can't, they give me bad hallucinations...

Sounds like a win-win
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

They called me in an emergency RX.....Fiorinal w\codine. Not the best thing for me to be taking with my history, but quite effective when I'm nearly vomiting from the pain.

I don't find spiders crawling on your skin as a win-win anything... Just saying.

Aspirin does that for you? Damn - all those years, I was paying to have sheets of acid Fed-Exed from Cali...

Anyway... I'm in the same boat as you as far as the candy goes, Striker. Not so much that it ccauses headaches so much as the systemic organ damage, tissue oxygen deprivation, and neuropathy. On the other hand, it's handy to have around for a while so I don't have to go buy emergency glucose pills. ;)

Ian - enjoy. I've never been to Amsterdam, but my buddy's wife just returned (via London and Wales.) Just from her brief description, I'm not sure if a trip to Amsterdam would be great loads of fun for me, or would see the complete ruin of my life set against giant tapestries of debauchery and debasement. Probably both at once.

For some insane reason, Mikey, reading your post reminded me of those medicines that cure something like hangnails, but side effects include brain hemorrhaging, stroke and heart failure. ;) But yeah, sorry to hear. :(

Um... Seriously? It sucks being like that, especially since it lasts for hours, well, the last time it happened, I was like 6 and I remember, we tried it once, because I had a severe migraine, and then my mom had to stay up with me all night to keep me from tearing the skin off my body. It is the only thing I remember from those years, and it sucks that I do, but I won't ever try aspirin again.

Nor will I try steroids, I get paranoid, the last time I had it, I used it for asthma, used it for about 3 months, and then was deemed clinically insane for 3 years because of steroid induced psychosis. Yeah, if I'm allergic to something it just has to have the worst possible reaction...
