(((Mari, Steve, Ginnie)))

thank you all for the thoughts and well wishes.

Mari thank you for all the great suggestions. i really couldn't do much for the tummy trouble this time due to the disabling headache. even nuking a potato was out, so rice was out, although it is very helpful. my mother said ginger would be an irritant even though i normally use it for nausea.

what i did eventually use by the time my head was mostly better were licorice chips. (99% pure liquorice, 1% anise 2mm squares - not those twisty gummy plastic things sold in the US.) i found out liquorice is used in ulcer treatment. it worked great but i'm still staying off my usual spicy foods for a week, just to be sure. No zoloft in case i get bad headaches because i really can't use NSAIDs either for a while. i still have a mild headache but it is not a big deal at this point.

the depression ebbs and flows... but no major change there. the "flows" are... bad.

thanks so much you guys :heartthrob:

Thank you dear Bizi. :hug::hug::hug:

It might take a while. it has been several days now. this is not migraine i think it's my back/neck.

i don't even really care... it is mild. :o the depression is worse than the headache. that... it eats at me.

if i weren't human, i'd be a donut. you know. big gaping hole in the middle. :cool:

Geez, maybe i could get a job at dunkin donuts... being dunked? :rolleyes:

Oh wait, no dunkin donuts here. in fact no donuts. except me. forever the oddball. :(

Sending you hugs Waves.

The only thing you have in common with a donut is that you are sweet.

Waves,
The depression -- you know what it is --- it is awful ---sometimes it helps to to remind ourselves that what were are up against is weaker than we are.

I hope your gi and headache issues will smooth out so you can start the Zoloft when you are ready.

'Sending donuts. The good kind -- whatever is your favorite.

Hi Waves. You are not(( Forever))((the))((oddball)). Those three words do not describe you. You are special. You are a true person of value,who has given so much to Neurotalk.

You are Forever the person with value,and worth,and are a very special person. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Dear DonnaThank you. I appreciate those hugs, you can't imagine how. i don't get too many in "real" life. :o thanks, and :hug::hug::hug: to you too.

interesting thought. i feel unsure of it. there are times i really feel unsure... i feel the lure. it is scary. i don't want it to be stronger than me.

OOOOH thank you! this is sure to help! ;) i love donuts! (the good kind). the plain kind rolled in sugar are my faves but i like other kinds too. i miss going out for donuts and coffee at unthinkable hours in the morning. i Dunkin Donuts was always safe coz there were always 3 squad cars worth of cops hanging out in there.
