I have stabby hot needle sinus headaches quite often--once a morning, but briefly, isn't out of the ordinary. No point taking anything for them--they never last even half an hour.

But since the migraines have picked up and morphed (auras and mouth-centric migraines are new, for instance) I've been having sinus headaches which are like a wall of pressure trying to smash my cheekbones.

Jolly, jolly. I wonder if I should treat those with the triptans, then...I'll have to ask my headache doctor when I see her next week.

Eeyick.

Dear Springer Publications,

Most of the rest of the world uses "previous issue" to describe the issue that came chronologically and numerically before the selected issue. "Next" would imply the issue chronologically and numerically after. Why are you so insistent on doing the reverse?

Me, after spending too long paging the wrong way through your site.

I just got told by the dentist that I went to on an emergency basis that even though I'm in pain, and they can tell that the crown that they put in is "overcontoured" and there is a small black spot underneath the crown, really there is nothing wrong and maybe I should try taking some more allergy medicine to see if that helps.

I think it's safe to say I'm a little annoyed.

Lee, did you not get the memo about NO NEW MEDICAL ISSUES FOR BUFFISTAS?? Sheesh.

Migraineurs, you too, really.

Thank goodness the delicious cookies are back -- I almost didn't gain any new weight this week.

Sarameg, are you reading Jerry Springer Show transcripts again?

Oy, Lee. If only you lived a wee bit closer so I could send you to my dentist, who I . . . well, not love (she is a dentist after all) . . . but trust.

Lee, is it okay if I dislike your dentist just the teeniest little bit?

Sending buckets and buckets of -ma to Sean and S. The month of August really, really needs to cut the Buffistas and their loved ones a break, please.

Your dentist is not inspiring confidence, Lee, but I'll hope the allergy meds do help, because maybe they will, whp knows?

Huh. My migraines have been so indrequent that I've never really considered myself a migraine sufferer or sought treatment or anything, but I have sinus headaches all the freaking time. One more thing to bring up when I decide on insurance coverage and pick a doctor, I guess.

Lee, did you not get the memo about NO NEW MEDICAL ISSUES FOR BUFFISTAS?? Sheesh.

But this is Dental! Maybe the memo needs to be more specific?

Oy, Lee. If only you lived a wee bit closer so I could send you to my dentist, who I . . . well, not love (she is a dentist after all) . . . but trust.

Thanks. IIRC, Kat had a good dentist up here, so I'm going to email her to get his name, because of that wole lack of confidence thing -t mentioned.

Lee, is it okay if I dislike your dentist just the teeniest little bit?

Please do.

On a completely different note, I stopped at Whole Foods on the way to work to get lunch, and walked out with 2 bags of Barbara's baked puffs as well, and it's all your fault.

But this is Dental! Maybe the memo needs to be more specific?

Hmm. Maybe it needed to be less specific, I'm thinking. Fuck.
