That's what my Mom used to call "Diagnosis by cure." If this makes you better, then that's what was wrong with you. And you've found relief.

I sense worry on your part - let it go, please! Worry causes migraine. Let go, honestly. I bet you could catch up on sleep now! Rest & recreation & pills from doc might adjust your reality so the migraines are gone. Give it a chance.

All the best.

I helped somebody years ago.
Not the owner, not money.
I resolved a situation.
I have no official standing at WP.

I was merely wondering as, I meant no offense whatsoever.

Just received an email saying that my hair was received. That's good. I have been wondering about that. I miss my hair, but getting used to my new hair-do.

I told Patricia that I would call her today and I really don't feel like talking. Crap. I'm going to have a salad and protein drink and watch some Catfish, then I'll try to call.

It's not so much worry, as they are a bit of a rare occurrence (about once every few months); it's just that it somehow seems excessive.
From the stories I've heard of migraine sufferers, their headaches sound more intense, lasting for far longer. That combined with the fact that sometimes symptoms can overlap between conditions is where doubt sets in. For the record, I get a pain behind my left eye, left nostril gets a bit stuffy, and stomach gets a little upset, but no visual cues, I can generally sleep it off, and it doesn't stop me from doing things. I know everyone is different and might not experience it the same way, but it still seems odd. ...maybe I'm just underestimating my level of tolerance (I abandoned all pain medicine 3 days after surgery for a ruptured appendix 5 years ago, and 9 days after a hemorrhoidectomy a month and a half ago).

I miss Pa.

We had Christmas up at Ma's last night and it was fun, but Pa wasn't there. It's too bad we didn't have Christmas last year. Ma seems happier. I'm having a hard time. I keep seeing a lot of the same mannerisms in myself that Pa had. We were a lot alike. My brother takes after Ma. I cried again today. I just keep wondering where Pa is at and why are we even here. Nothing makes sense to me anymore. I'm not getting any happiness out of life and I don't know how to change that. (Heavy sigh) Now I'm worried about Ma all the time. I'm tired of worrying.

This is something that is true and that I have experienced and also some of my friends.

About a year or two after the passing of a loved one, you will receive a sign that they are not really gone, and it is time to resume a life with happiness in it. Then you will be able to get on with life.

I do so much commiserate with you seeing your father's mannerisms in yourself. When my mother passed, I got some gestures, her voice, and even sometimes her handwriting. That is part of the agony of grief. When you get your sign, you will be able to let go of that stuff.

And what is the sign. For me, it was a dream of Mom at about age 45, phoning me and laughing and laughing. She wore the clothes I got for her when I did her makeover. And I was in the dream, in my bed, laughing and laughing. I woke, still laughing out loud. I knew that was the sign.

For my friend, in a dream she saw her Scottish father playing his bagpipes as he walked in Scotland. She could feel his happiness and content.

I must sound like a snake-oil salesman. But it's true and doesn't cost a dime. :lol: It doesn't always come in a dream. It might be an object that was his.

I hope you'll take encouragement from this. I wouldn't tell if I didn't know for a certainty that this is true.

Blessings on you!

I was watching some clips of the Matrix and it reminded me that the reason why I feel so detached and unaffected by the world around me is because it seems artificial.

Kinda why I barely take things in this life seriously... :|
Partially because why I've been so patient in long terms because I've been 'waiting for something to happen' -- whatever it is. While I do mundane things as I 'wait'.


Granted.
Some artificial feel came from the very thing that made human 'society' 'stable'...
Some came from somewhere else, where 'nothing lasts forever' enters, personal bubble, society bubble or not. Then there's the concept mortality, things beyond this existence, and other things I cannot describe.

I have non-stop sniffles since yesterday. So do some people I know. My skin feels annoyed all over. My stomach hurts sometimes. Is this the dreaded flu?

If you don't have fever and feel weak, then it's probably not the flu.

what med are you on for it? as long as the med isn't something you take every day, i wouldn't be concerned about "excessive." does the pain pulse or throb?
