Popular Post Seat68 Posted May 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 A coincidence as I have had a migraine all morning. Possibly a little too much wine. Thankfully an ibruprofen seems to have shifted it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually just dormant now because once in a while I get mild symptoms. But for about 15 years, once every 6 weeks or so, it would strike in the middle of the night, usually waking me up and then I'd be writhing on the floor for over an hour. It is an indescribable pain. I almost vomited once because the pain was so horrible. To make matters worse, there is no cure or reliable remedy, nor is there an explanation of why it even happens. So glad the worst of it seems to have passed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proctalgia_fugax I feel your pain, brother. Mine also seems to happen randomly in the middle of the night but not as frequently. I’ve also found I’ve had less severe bouts a handful of times after intimate moments. Trying to hide the pain from partners has been pretty horrible. It honestly feels like someone is plunging a knife into the, ahem, affected area.

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) BBC Casualty: The set, the stories and 99% of the people on it. Can a nurse that is deaf actually be a nurse if she has no hearing for example + the set, looks like a set. words removed. When I was younger they used to plough trains into nuclear waste, its all very much "Jim has a really sore ankle" No one ever dies. People dropping drugs off IN a prison. Just **** off. Why don't they install a sturdy lock that leads to the roof, this would stop people who have had a shocker at the vending machine from ending it all and jumping. It must costs pennies to make. (My Mrs. really likes it but I want them and it to burn) (I am sure I have moaned about this before actually, every 10 years or so) Edited May 3, 2021 by Amsterdam_Neil_D 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s in it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, never bad enough to make me vomit. Looking at the Prevention section of that Wiki article, i think I'll opt to just put up with it occasionally.

Actually as 'serial drama' (it isn't quite a soap), I don't think it's as bad as some. I keep meaning to ask our neighbour what she thinks of it (she's an actual, real life A&E doctor). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 How on Earth do people buy into Coronation Street? A short cobbled road with about 15 houses and no traffic despite the pub, 2 shops, hairdressers, cafe, restaurant, car garage, factory, chip shop, fat food outlet, health centre, flower shop and taxi rank. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember him lying on the bed in fetal position vomiting like mad, Strange ... I had something similar in my teenage years and young/middle adulthood. I always called them my Sunday headaches. I always associate with dark Sunday late afternoons in Kings Heath. Mine were not like clockwork, maybe three times a year. And not as bad as your Dad's. I sometimes could walk them off by going into the daylight. Painful but it worked. Luckily ... not had too many in the last twenty or so years. 1999 ... visiting the Del Prado (Madrid) first and only on a Saturday. God, the Goya exhibit was depressing. This was the first time it was sufficiently bad where the headache induced vomitting. Then another in 2007 or thereabouts. Nothing since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
