Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Thanks, Perkins. I'm not handling the loss of this nerve block well at all. I'm disappointed in myself. The biofeedback should have given me an edge, dammit.
Do you know what they give you when you go to the ER for a migraine? Not that I'm going to now--I'm just wondering. I'll probably never know, because I can't drive well before I'd think of getting external help.
Watching Touching Evil. When I watched the US version, I'd only remembered seeing Touching Evil II. This makes the US version look so much worse. The US Creegan was obviously a migration over the waters -- a guy reliving his own death and it makes him do the wacky. UK Series I Creegan is the healthiest man on his team. They're way broken.
ita, seriously, do you need a ride to the ER? Because we live nearby and we have a car.
I think (for what it's worth), that you should let Burrell drive you.
No, thanks, Burrell. I've taken the Ambien, and I'll sleep soon, no matter the pain. I just need to wake up clear.
But I do wonder what they do for you there--if they have no magic, I have a cuddle lounge and rooibos tea. But I know vw went in a few days ago, poor thing, and got hers taken down from an 8 to a 3. At this point, I want to know all my options.
Okay, ita. But remember you can call at any time.
I hate ERs and I hate making people come with me to them. But your offer is appreciated in that let-me-never-take-you-up-on-it way.

ita, a friend of mine that gets horrible migraines has received Toradol at the ER, if I'm remembering correctly. After a few ER visits, he was given a vial of it to keep in the fridge and he gives himself a shot of it when necessary.
This article talks a bit about it, if you're interested.
Rest and less pain ~ma to you.

Eww.
Nicole, aren't you supposed to be asleep.
Thanks Nicole. Interesting. I tried not to cascade google too far (allodynia was about as far as I went) becuase I like to pretend that if I don't know about it, I won't suffer from it. Worked for auras for years. I'ma keep doing it.
But they do have knockout drugs at the ER--not like going and getting Benadryl after making you wait for hours. Hopefully not needed.
