Wha?? What's with all this DIY barbering? Even for an all-over clip, I just go up the road to Nobu, my great Japanese barber with a lisp, spend 10 minutes (max) in there, have a laugh, pay £5 and I'm on my way to Tesco.  |

Argh! Migraine!
Sudden onset of flashing lights and I can hardly read what's on the screen.
Time for bed.
I thought that it was better this morning but now the headache's coming on and I'm looking at the screen with one eye shut. Time to log off. |

For HH when you feel better: I'm sure you know this already, but one of the most helpful things I ever read on the subject of migraines said that it's just nature's way of telling you it's time to go and lie down in a darkened room for about three hours. A humorous way of saying that migraines generally seem to be induced by stress of one kind or another. Migraineurs seem to be typically - conscientious
- hard-working
- reluctant to go and lie down when they ought to
which is why their bodies intervene more dramatically. |

Massive thunderstorm here at the moment.
I can under-
Stand the thunder,
But the lightning
Is rather frightening.

Migraineurs seem to be typically - conscientious
- hard-working
- reluctant to go and lie down when they ought to
which is why their bodies intervene more dramatically. I do like an optimist! 3/4 hours Kitty? A mild migraine for me lasts 12 hours, a severe one 3 days. I've been hospitalised twice with them and the last time it took them 4 days to stabilise me and that was only when they'd resorted to diamorphine. Everybody is different and everyone who suffers with them has a different trigger. Some are dietary and they're the easiest of all because you just stop eating/drinking whatever it is that causes them. The rest of us have a multiple array of trigger/onsets. Mine are hormonal/stress/too much sleep/too little sleep. Perfectionist/conscientious personalities do seem to be more likely though, I'll grant you that one!  Sleeping them off is usually the only option without medication but I swear by these injections. They work in 10 minutes!!!!! |

My personal bête noir is allergies. I had a very bad time back in the '80s with allergic reactions and nobody seemed to be able to identify what was causing them. I was advised to try an "elimination diet" but after about three days on rice, water, and I forget what else was allowed, I was so miserable I gave up. Then there was the doctor who, for the benefit of a student, played noughts and crosses on my back!  |

Re. allergies - they seem to have progressed quite a lot with that, blood tests and the like. The elimination thing is how they work out what causes dietary migraines because it isn't always cheese and chocolate. I finally ended up on just spring water and jacket potatoes - then just water - and still got them.
Have you tried acupuncture Kitty? I went for acupuncture for migraine which didn't work at all but bizarrely the treatment cleared up my hay fever for ever! It's all very odd.

Hay fever tends to clear up eventually, anyway. I had it badly until I was 23 or so, then it just stopped, and my son was much the same. I've never had a migraine, but a friend of mine, who used to suffer badly from them, now (at over 60!) never gets one.

Thanks for that Mary. There may be something for me to look forward to in being a pensioner later on!
Hayfever is weird. I never suffered from it until I was pregnant with my first child and then I was terrible for about 10 years - till I had the acupuncture for migraine in fact. Most people who suffer as children seem to grow out of it from what I've seen.
That peanut allergy is the most frightening. Thank goodness it is very rare. I used to know someone who once nearly died from a bee sting and was terrified every summer after that in case it happened again.
So glad you've never had a migraine Mary and I hope you never do. I was about to say I wouldn't wish it on anyone but actually.... thinking about various people in the news lately.....<devilwithhornssmiley>

Thanks for your good wishes over the last 24 hours.
I'm feeling much recovered now (sitting with friends watching Wimbledon helped).
I think it could have had something to do with stress in my personal life at the moment, but who knows? Hope it doesn't happen again any time soon.
