It doesn't really help me out, but it was interesting reading. And I sometimes DO get the subsequent headache, which could also be described as "blinding," but in a different way. I checked out TLF - looks like there are no posts there since October? Good to know the Fringe is still out there, though. Keep in touch - Who knows? I might be a lunatic too... Hey, Grampa,

Weird that you found this particular post of mine, and that you knew someone with the same syndrome. It doesn’t really help me out, but it was interesting reading. And I sometimes DO get the subsequent headache, which could also be described as “blinding,” but in a different way.

I checked out TLF – looks like there are no posts there since October? Good to know the Fringe is still out there, though. Keep in touch – Who knows? I might be a lunatic too…

How do you pronounce "Djarum?" Steph - Trust me on this, you don't want to feel my pain. It's over now anyway. Thanks, though, for the well-wishes. Slink – Doin’ better, thanks.

Thank god, too, they sound horrible. So sorry you had to suffer--at least they're not as bad as they used to be, it sounds like? Small comfort, I know, but you gotta take it where you can get it :) I wish I could say I feel your pain, but alas, I’ve never had migraines. Thank god, too, they sound horrible.

Hope you're doin' better now. You KNOW you have all my sympathies. I usually try and Djarum a migraine to death. but that's just me.

Nothing seems to help except darkness and rest. Hope you feel better soon. I get those once or twice a year. Nothing seems to help except darkness and rest. Hope you feel better soon.

I still don't know who I am. I did at one time, but not now. Also, odd how some assume I have a hangover, and some recommend a beer cure. Or is that the same thing? exploring idly – Funny you ask.

There's a piece missing from the middle, an empty place where my identity should be." </I> Now that the headache has subsided, have those thoughts diminished as well? Just curious. Glad you are feeling better. A nice, cold Staropramen (Czech beer) usually does the trick too! Try it.

Dick - Thanks for the good thought. I'd feel better, though, if you could share my misery. Jayne - I'm all better now. Must have been the Reiki. Ice packs on the head make me think of 1960's-era romantic comedies wherein someone like Jack Lemmon, playing the lovable, goofy sidekick to someone like Cary Grant, has been out too late in Manhattan hustling someone like Marylin Monroe, and now he has a hangover. Sorry, I can't go there with my own head. Theresa – I can’t believe you would use the phrase “…do your head…”
