ita, I'm sure this sounds insane but it really does help my Mom sometimes... do you have any lavender to sniff? Or peppermint?
It dosen't make the pain go bye-bye, but it can make her more comfortable (if that makes any sense).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Before I had migraine meds, I used to rely on peppermint oil and on alternating between ice and hot packs.

I'm really impressed by it. Without resorting to petty, personal insults, Rebecca Traister captures the essence of why she doesn't feel sorry for Palin. (Sorry if this is a redundant post--I've been skimming today.)
ETA: And thanks to Cashmere for linking to it in her Facebook and making me aware of it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yup. Not sure about lavender, though.
Sorry you're suffering, ita.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, mint's a horrible trigger. I haven't tested lavender.
Ugh. Just trying to wait this thing out. Sleep or ER, but no ER before the wee hours.

Oh ita. That sucks. I hope lavender might help a little. It is incredibly helpful when I have a headache, though my headaches hardly compare to yours.
ION, Kat, I went to burn your dvd and discovered TiVo ate GA. I'm so sorry! I think you can download it on iTunes if that helps at all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me too, ita.
