Headaches, eh?

Post by Spacecoyote »

I don't remember you saying whether or not you get migraines..if that's the case, nothing you can do.
But if not, and they're accompanied by visual disturbances, hie thee to the nearest MRI with all possible speed!!
Your description sounds like what happened to me just before the Event of '97, and you DO NOT want to have that happen!
Imagine, not being able to draw anymore? Preventive medicine, dude.
No cigs or beer, and get out for more exercise. Even if it means cutting out the Thursday strip!
OTOH, it could just be stress....which I have not helped reduce, come to think of it...still, better warned!

Another possible thing.

Another thing that you should check out:

Get your blood pressure checked regularly. I started developing high blood pressure in my early teens, and didn't know anything about it till I was nineteen years old. With a mixture of headaches, nose bleeds, and constant ill-temper (Yeah I'm like that anyway), it made life rather unpleasant.

It's worth getting checked out, especially if it runs in your family. Getting proper treatment for high blood pressure can make a massive difference in how you feel.

Very good advice. You can get home BP monitors fairly cheap...even I have one.
Had I not been so resistant to the idea of BP medication 5 years ago, life would be a lot different..and better..now.
Hmm..I didn't know high BP caused foul temper...I always figured I was just wired that way :)
Guess I better double the dose of Acupril, then..*L*

Well, I do believe it's closer to Lewis' explaination. I've gotten some advice and what not, so I think I'll be okay. Especially since I've calmed down alot lately and haven't had any headaches. :) Anyway, thanks for all the concern, even those who emailed me.
Speaking of email. . .
Space, my good man. I've been meaning to email you, but I just found out that my mail service at the no-ip addy has been down. I'll write tomorrow, dude.

Now that's just plain annoying. What if you had sent an email for a super cool job, and the damn server was down? You'd be pissed, that's what!
Wonder if it has anything to do with this keenspace notice about downtimes...
Oh well. Internet has more farts than Homer at the chili cookoff. At least yer not terminally ill..probably all those Canadian beers you chugged *l*

Actually, the mail server is run by Scott here in town. Not connected with Keen.
They're "improving" things again here at KEENSpace. :-?

Yeah...just like Yahoo "improved" Geocities right out of existence..

BTW, have you ever seen a site called allscifi.com ? Pretty cool, actually, and there's a game that allows you to enslave your fave SF characters!

Right now, I have about a dozen, from Darth Vader to Chellina..
Tomorrow they'll all be gone, stolen from me, but that's the whole idea..you don't make money if you keep them. You steal them back each night.
My mansion is a TARDIS, and I am saving up for some cool add-ons.
Oh yeah, I gotta spank Grand Admiral Thrawn or he'll run away on me. Think I'll get Sarah Connor to do the job..or maybe Wonder Woman..hehheh..
