She's bad enough now she thinks that all of you care about her. Doppelganger is just going to be even more impossible to live with. Thanks. My advice is to stop staying up til 3 in the morning and go to sleep or maybe you're getting old and you need a stronger eyewear prescription.

Inside, too, if you're in a brightly lit area.<BR/><BR/>Bracelets: I tend to make my own.

I'm envisioning stringing together some really chunky red beads (maybe vintage). <BR/><BR/>My headaches usually respond to massive quantities of water and a hearty meal.

It's a muscle thing, right? <BR/><BR/>Better yet, having taken drugs and -- well -- liquid drugs, get a heating pad or handtowel soaked in HOT water, folded in ziploc baggie (squeeze it out well. Really), lie down in a comfy position, & listen to some mellow music or something. (And have you eaten yet today? The mango OJ doesn't count.)<BR/><BR/>Headache veteran here.

This truly is a day of celebration. <BR/><BR/>Everyone, be very, very quiet... any sudden movements >>such as THIS!<< and we could startle her away. Heheh. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the props and the link, Marina. I'm meticulously going through the entire Etsy catalogue even as we speak. If I end up getting a bracelet from there, I'll let you borrow it on Friday nights.<BR/><BR/>Cap'n, you can rest assured that the gummy worm budget is being guarded around the clock by a team of armed security experts. <BR/><BR/>And thanks, everyone, for the headache sympathy and tips. So far, I've tried a nap and ibuprofen washed down with a mango-OJ-and-raspberry-Stoli cocktail. Not much luck yet, but I'm willing to keep experimenting until the bottle is empty.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613804843380827691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1149116073606530082006-05-31T15:54:00.000-07:002006-05-31T15:54:00.000-07:00Happy Anniversary!!!

It works while lying on my back too, if it's the back of my neck that's killing me.<BR/><BR/>I'm a pro with these headaches and the towel-nap usually works. Well, that and a shitload of ibuprofen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9931308.post-1149099803050332942006-05-31T11:23:00.000-07:002006-05-31T11:23:00.000-07:00Try to sleep with your neck at a natural angle.
