Escapee, I suffer from migraines about 6x a year. Not only do I get the head pounding but I get the bloody nose with it. Tell your boss you need to go home while you can drive. Stop at a pharmacy and pick up some uristat (for your bladder infection) and Exedrin Migraine Gel tabs. Do not get the tablets, get the gel tabs they work better. Put a wet washcloth in the freezer for 5 minutes and crawl into bed with the washcloth over your eyes. Turn off all lights and if you have air conditioning put that on and put a blanket over your head. Try as best as you can to have no sound or light around you. Turn off phones etc. Feel better..migraines are the worst.

RN, zachsmom, you are my hero for today. you did exactly what you should have done to those men. imagine if they had lured your son out with a fake kitten's cry? your automatic reaction was right on, IMO, and if the police had arrived, it would have been the men who were in trouble. in this day of predators and all the tricks they try to lure someone to them...well, i say 'hip, hip hooray for z-mom!'

RN I want to reach out to Escapee, I have been a chronic Migraine sufferer for 26 years. And I am talking getting them twice a month to 3 to 4 times a week. When your vision gets messed with with flashing lights or lightning bold colored strobes and weird stuff like that, they are called Aura's, they are a precursor to a Migraine. I have a Migraine coctail I take and a homeopathic ritual I do. ALL doctor approved of course by every doctor I see. I take 3 Advil, and 2 Exedrin Migraines together with food, drink one can of Pepsi, and then put Tigerbalm, Or Icey Hot kind of stuff on your shoulders, neck and some hot spots on your scalp. Then put vicks on forhead and temples, under eyes and on eye lids, (won't hurt eyes in anyway, if it goes into eyes will sting for a few seconds and then your eyes will completely relax.) I had to do the vicks and tigerbalm while pregnant and wasn't able to take any meds for the migraines I got.... Then lay down in dark room if possible and start counting backwords to make yourself relax..... An alternative to the Advil and Excedrin is 2 Aleve to substitue Advil, And the substitute for Excedirin is 2 Tylenol Release tabs. There is also something in the Pepsi, the doctors don't know what it is, but it does help people with migraines, where other caffiene drinks dont'. I have never gone in for a narcotic shot to get rid of my migraines. Anyways, I hope you feel better soon. Hugs

Right now...I am just tickled beyond words! A got a "special thank you" from Tabby Lavalamp in her latest blog entry! Right up there with James and Nakomis (but not quite Marcellus status). That gal just knocks my socks off. She has a sense of humor that just cracks me up. It's going to be a fun summer with her blogging all my favorite reality shows. http://realivision.blogspot.com/

Right now: Thank you all for your concern. I left work at about 9:30 puking my guts out. I was barely able to drive two blocks to my mothers. I layed down there and rested in between vomiting bouts, and was finally able to take some motrin and make it to the doctor for my UTI. I am a nursing mother, so it's very hard to take antibiotics. I have to stop nursing DD for a couple of days while I am on it. This is going to be tough. What is weird is that my mom had the same thing last week, I think it is a virus....

RN: Thanks Vacanick, I am feeling better, just super tired. I am worried about not nursing DD for a couple of days. I don't have breast milk on stock pile, and I should. I feel terrible about it. She is going to be on formula for several days. Sheesh. Poor baby.

Right now I am actually quite proud of Zmom and terrified for her at the same time. I just wish you had smacked one of them with the box and then taken it with you, so they can't pull that little trick again.

RN: Zmom, I have a short fuse, I would have done the same thing. How dare they try to lure someone or even try to trick someone into thinking there was a hurt cat. It's cruel. I am such a hot head, I would have probably done worse. Good for you, girl!

RN, escapee, did the doc say anything about your vision problem? RN, denecee, if your daughter (daughter-in-law?) is anything like i was, you will get down there before the baby comes, even if you don't leave for another 48 hours! i was 93 hours with my dd. i think that's why i got such a good young lady from day one...after having morning sickness for all 9 months, 93 hours of labor and a second c-section, i lucked out and got a baby who slept through the night when she was 3 days old. she still wants her 10 hours a night! she has never given me a second's worry and she is the perfect daughter. people kept telling us, "just wait til she's 2", or "4" or "a teenager"...well, she's 18 and still great! today is dh's birthday. something he and george share. ugh. he likes bush, i can't stand him! can you guess which parties my dh and i are?! we are having 12 people for a fish and shrimp bake/fry. dd and i have been making pasta salad and getting the things together for a big antipasto; also cutting homemade bread into chunks to dip into olive oil/basalmic vinegar/fresh minced garlic, etc. i can't believe dh is 61 today. what's more, i can't believe i put my age down as 54 twice yesterday LOL...i was born in '54 and will still be 51 til mid-august. sheesh! let's not rush these things oh, and about c-sections, the main hospital in redding now will NOT let you try a VBAC, period. once a c-section, always a c-section. if you insist on trying a vaginal delivery after having had a c-section, you have to find another hospital for the delivery. i wish someone had forced me have a second section from the get-go--dd wouldn't have missed the kindergarten cut-off by two days LOL...
