Earth-Angel Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 i wish it was over sweet edna. i wish more than anything that it was. and you are correct farin, it is believed to be the most painful affliction known to man. i blogged about it on myspace a few days ago, trying to explain it, but unless you have experienced it, there is nothing to liken it to really. and it sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 My pagan gods are working full time these days... with or without incense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 wow, Sue... I remember you saying something about this quite a while back, but I never did understand what it was. Then I found this Description and I can't even imagine how you must feel. Sending positive thoughts to you, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Susannn I feel terrible and I WISH I was there with you. It sounds absolutely awful and I believe it's even worse than what they describe on all the sites. Can anything be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I am sorry to hear you are going through such an ordeal, Sue. My mom used to get migraines (I know, completely different) that would knock her out for days. Could be any little thing that triggered it, too. I see that it usually effects people over 50. Lucky you... Have you tried acupuncture? That has worked well for my back pains and other pains. Eastern medicine has got some pretty effective cures if you can let your scientific mind take a break from what us Westerners perceive as a viable treatment.

OLD 55 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I'm very sorry to hear of your pain Sue. And I hope your Mother-In-Law recovers quickly, Laurie. I'll say a Rosary for you both tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 How is everybody doing today? I have two dozen of pagan gods working for me and my friends so they´d better have their work done or they might be fired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 thanks Marc unfortunately, acupuncture is known to make it worse or lures you into false security worsening the next attack (i blogged about it more on myspace). Trust me, i have investigated every possible option over the last year. medication i also have to be careful with as almost everything not over the counter (and most things over the counter anyway) disagree with my other daily meds which i cannot stop taking or cannot change. it feels like i am caged inside my face at the moment. it's absolutely excruciating. i've been having a constant attack for well on 4 hours now with lightning and stabbing pains in my cheek, temple and lower lip. i got a quarter cup of soup in yesterday which triggered another attack anyway. i can't eat anything, i can't get any liquids in as it triggers an attack just touching my lips on anything, let alone swallowing. it's the most hopeless feeling. thank you Darryl , any good thoughts my way would really be appreciated from anyone. prayers would be especially welcome. i absolutely hate asking for help. you must know how incredibly desperate i am when i do. i am quite simply at the end of the rope. how is your mother-in-law doing Laurie? any news?

The Seeker Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Sue, this sounds truly terrible and I can't imagine how painful this must be, but know that I'm thinking of you and hoping it will get better, just like everyone else on here.

_Laurie_ Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Wow Sue, you know we are thinking of you, and I know it's hard for us to imagine what you are going through...I hope you find something that will relieve the pain...please keep us posted... Well Sue, Her doctor said he could not find anything abnormal in the second CAT SCAN, and the Neurologist was suppose to look at her yesterday. My husband left early this morning for the hospital, so we are still waiting for some answers. She had 2 seizures overnight, which she's never had before. She's on oxygen and is hooked up to an IV. She's talking still, but not making any sense. The doctor said that since she had some experience of dementia (SPELL?) before the fall, that adds to the complications of things...so that's where we stand now.... She did yell out my daughter's name and started crying. My daughter is very upset right now, coz she has been taking care of her grandmother for awhile, and helping her grandparents all that she could...I'll keep you posted...

MarcM Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I am sorry to hear that, Laurie. That has got to be scary. Makes one wish things in the real world can be wrapped up neatly like on House or ER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Dear Sue, I am very sorry to hear about all the pain you are going through. I suffer from migraines, which knock me about for a couple of days and I think the world is going to end. So I cannot imagine the magnitude of pain you are going through. You are a very brave woman And I hope all goes well for your mother in law Laurie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
