Now...now....it is not hording...it being Conservation Minded!

Anyone care to contribute to my cause?

Taffy, Taffy, Taffy
When will you learn the conservation of chocolate is futile. Chocolate must be eaten in large quantities and as soon as possible.

Gasp....All these years I have been doing it wrong? Saving my chocolate for a rainy day? Dang!

(Of course I live in Wetern Washington....it is always wainy!)

How is your head, Beth? Any relief yet? Thinking about you.

Sally thanks for asking. Yesterday, I told my DSO that my hands actually hurt worse then my head, I was crocheting.

I believe that cold air from the a/c makes it worse. It was cooler 89, and rain yesterday so we had only fans. I put a warm neck wrap on and that seems to help.

Today so far, it hurts more, only about a 4, liveable. But a/c was put on last night and I was cold. I'm wrapped in a blanket now, listening to yesterdays, Hardball. Go figure. Sometimes I just step out the door to warm up for a couple minutes.

Your concern and kindness is greatly appreciated.

So now Beth....have you talked to the Dr. about those headaches?

What kind of a headache is it? Where do you feel the pain, and how does it come on? Is it constant?

I get what I have labeled as "spinal headaches". It starts in my upper spine, and it seems to radiate from that point to my shoulders, neck and upper back.

When I wake up in the morning, I am usually ok for a short while. As the day wears on, the "headache" extends from the spine (to those places mentioned), then eventually to up under my skull in the back. If I sit for any length of time, the headache will settle in my forehead.

They usually last about 3 weeks when I get them, and the only thing that works reasonably well is Naproxen (500 mg X 2 per day) and LAYING down a LOT!! The longer the opportunity to lay, the longer I can sit up without the pain getting progressively worse.

Is this the kind of headache, or is it more like a migraine?

BTW, I think this may be as a result of spinal lesions . . . at least that's the conclusion I've come to based on how it feels and where my lesions are.

No I have not talked to the doc. I see a new neuro on 8/1, I'll be sure and mention it.

BTW, we went through a 3lb bag of M&Ms in no time. Would you like a brownie, w/applesause instead of oil, and mini choco chips for fun?

You should save it for Sunny Days! Ha ha ha! Then it would get stale and yukky!

Chocolate never gets the chance to get stale or yukky in my house, unless I forget where I put it. E-GADS!!
