<snip> Hi Mair, Sorry to hear you’ve got yet another gem of a headache. I’ve tried Imitrex, and it worked for me like a charm, and for hubby too, but it stopped working for him after a while. I’ve read on the migraine ng that if you take the Imitrex when you first detect the migraine, it often works a lot better, but if you wait until it’s full-blown, then it no workie. Good luck to you! -Sharon — "Don’t make me come down there…" -God

Of course I’m a member of the Shelagh Fan Club. She just has a nicer place to "lie down for the rest of the day"! I lay down at 2:00 with my ice pack, and at 4:00 there was this horrible noise and smell out side my bedroom window! A truck two stories high, and it kept backing up and down our driveway! Urgh! I got so angry! My landlord was having a dumpster delivered… no doubt for all the stuff in MY house that he tells me is trash and I should throw away! an irate Mair "Shelagh" <tidering…@shaw.ca> wrote in message

I came down with *another* migraine at about 1:00. The cogs of our ever-inept medical system seem to have worked this time, and I got to my doctor and to the pharmacy in time to try this Imitrex stuff. The best seems to be to lie down with ice on the back and front of my head. I have created a little bunker in the living room where I can just rest. That is the darkest room in the house. We’ll see what happens, if this stuff helps; I hear a lot of people say it doesn’t help them. <sigh> Mair "Mair" <stin…@earthlink.net> wrote in message

I seem to be going sort of up and down with my progress right now. As I mentioned before, I am back on 30mg of pred to try to get control of things. Perhaps if I split that dose I will gain a better effect. Thankfully I have nothing scheduled to do today, so I will just lie back and relax.

<snip> Rest up today Mair, you’ve been so active lately. It’s bound to do you in a bit. I have been a busy little beaver too latey, and today is my rest day. Just made some No-Pudge brownies (too easy, just mix powder with yogurt and bake), and am waiting to cut them. Today was my day to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on VHS and enjoy some popcorn while lying in my comfy bed. Some days are just necessary to be rest-days. Sending headache-free vibes your way. -Sharon — "Don’t make me come down there…" -God

Hi Sharon, good to see you back! I have not been lying low, and I *should* have been, as you said. But it is only 2pm and I will lie down with the fan on me and take the rest of the day off. You give good advice Mair "Sharon" <noway…@hotmail.com> wrote in message
