Adventure Location: Falcon State Park, Falcon Heights,
Texas
The Teams woke to a frozen countryside. It was 40°
outside and nothing was moving because it was all frozen stiff. Somebody forgot
that those temps are not allowed down here. Temps like that are for cleaning
inside the warm Castle. The vacuum was retrieved and 649 pounds of Falcon
County Park dirt, stickers and grass were removed from the Castle. The tires
look like they got another 50 pounds of air put in them now.
Then the trouble hit. All the hiking plans shattered. Blindness associated with another migraine
attack hit. Assume the horizontal for some time became the plan. Then up to eat
lunch. Bam another session of blindness hits. Good grief.
BillyBob dropped by for a visit but the OFM was not good
company. He hurt too much. BB understood but the short visit was well
appreciated by the OFM. The OFM headed back for the horizontal and some pain
relief.
The Teams hope all their readers did get out and try to
have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
Do you know what causes those migraines? People I know who had them knew what the trigger was and tried to avoid it; not always possible.
ReplyDeleteRecent medical findings say that Caffeine helps to get rid of Migraine headaches. Be Safe and Enjoy having toooo much fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time.
When I started with medical care on these devils 40 years ago, caffeine was the first drug the docs tried on me. It was a total failure. Some folks it helps a lot. You just have to hope something helps your particular system.
DeleteI'm so sorry about those headaches. What a way to ruin a good day! Hope you're feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteThose headaches are the worst. I used to get them in my younger days and they just stopped. I wish you the best for some relief
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, OFM! Snowing up here in Lovely Ouray... things could be worse for you down there :))l Get well, and get back out there having too much fun.

I remember my mother having headaches while I was growing up. She knew that there were certain foods that brought them on but did not know why she got them even when avoiding those foods.
ReplyDeleteA number of years later she had her gall bladder removed for some unrelated reason and never had another headache after that. She never called them migraines but I'm sure that is what was going on.
I would not suggest that you have yours removed but there does seem to be a relationship between gall bladder problems and migraines. Ever talk to your doctors about gall bladder problems?
Ed, My gall bladder has never shown any trouble during blood tests or physicals so the docs have left it alone.
DeleteFeel you pain OFM.
ReplyDeleteMy trigger is ammonia. I worked with anhydrous ammonia for years and suddenly could not smell it without getting a two day headache. Now I have to stay away from window cleaner and most house hold cleaners now. I tried all the Migraine drugs and they did not help. One time I found what did and keep one with me at all times. That changed my life.
I hope you find relief for your migraines in 2013, or at least have fewer of them. When I get them I am miserable. I have a prescription, but I always need a dark, cool, quiet place to lay down for hours until the medicine works.
