well not like i planned to..... i did mention i was "starting" new job but the actual offer was totally nothing like i expected its pays like nearly 1/2 as wat as i already am getting =( *sigh* i dunno wat to do....
Awww? Thats sad... Is there more advancement with this job? Are the benefits good or better than the other one..? Weigh the pros and cons, between what you have now and the potential job.. Sometimes the pros of the future job outweigh the fact that for a time, you wont be getting paid as much as the former one, as in my situation..
Reno, I hope you can get everything sorted out =) Im sure you will. I have to go get ready to leave on a little trip, see ya!
enjoy ur lil trip la! =) well i was THAT close from walking out on my current job to start the new one i basically just need to say im resigning ot manager and that was it... but i was smart enuff to hold out just long enuff to see new job contract pros: more related to my field of studies cons: pays heaps less, and im officially a graduate with masters now, its more of a "sales" from wat i see, and theres only limited development i've pretty much decided... guess need to find more >< i want a holiday trip too!! come to syd =P

Just wanted to give you guys an update =). Initially I started this thread, really to see if I could find out a remedy to help ease a migraine that I would be suffering from quicker e.g. In a situation in which I am already in pain with the migraine, to take something to ease the pain faster than the methods that I already use.. However, a huge thank you to everyone and to Tundra_RS, your suggestions were awesome, lol I've been able to drink at least 40oz of water each day since last week Friday. In that time frame, I have only suffered from a migraine once and it was my mothers fault lol anywayyy, thank you again! and lol anytime you want to come to the Tampa bay area, I'll make some space for ya, Reno...-blush2 lol jk

Can you tell where the migraine is located? Where does it hurt most? There are many types of Migraines: Migraine without aura This is the most commonly seen form of migraine; patients who primarily suffer from migraine without aura may also have attacks of migraine with aura. According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders it is a recurrent headache disorder manifesting in attacks lasting 4-72 hours. Typical characteristics of the headache are unilateral location, pulsating quality, moderate or severe intensity, aggravation by routine physical activity and association with nausea and/or photophobia and phonophobia. In order to diagnose migraine without aura, there must have been at least 5 attacks not attributable to another cause that fulfill the following criteria: 1. Headache attacks lasting 4-72 hours when untreated 2. At least two of the following characteristics: Unilateral location Pulsating quality Moderate or severe pain intensity Aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity 3. During the headache there must be at least one of the following associated symptom clusters: Nausea and/or vomiting Photophobia and phonophobia Where these criteria are not fully met, the problem may be classified as "probable migraine without aura" but other diagnoses such as "episodic tension type headache" must also be excluded. Migraine with aura This is the second most commonly seen form of migraine: patients who primarily suffer from migraine with aura may also have attacks of migraine without aura. According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders it is a recurrent disorder manifesting in attacks of reversible focal neurological symptoms that usually develop gradually over 5-20 minutes and last for less than 60 minutes. Headache with the features of "migraine without aura" usually follows the aura symptoms. Less commonly, the aura may occur without a subsequent headache or the headache may be non-migrainous in type. In order to diagnose migraine with aura, there must have been at least 2 attacks not attributable to another cause that fulfill the following criteria: 1. Aura consisting of at least one of the following, but no muscle weakness or paralysis: Fully reversible visual symptoms (e.g. flickering lights, spots, lines, loss of vision) Fully reversible sensory symptoms (e.g. pins and needles, numbness) Fully reversible dysphasia (speech disturbance) 2. Aura has at least two of the following characteristics: Visual symptoms affecting just one side of the field of vision and/or sensory symptoms affecting just one side of the body At least one aura symptom develops gradually over more than 5 minutes and/or different aura symptoms occur one after the other over more than 5 minutes Each symptom lasts from 5-60 minutes Where these criteria are not fully met, a diagnosis of "probable migraine with aura" may be considered, although other neurological causes must also be excluded. If the picture complies with the criteria but includes one-sided muscular weakness or paralysis, a diagnosis of "sporadic hemiplegic migraine" or "familial hemiplegic migraine" should be considered. Basilar type migraine Basilar type migraine (BTM), formerly known as basilar artery migraine (BAM) or basilar migraine (BM), is an uncommon type of complicated migraine with symptoms that result from brainstem dysfunction. Serious episodes of BTM can lead to stroke, coma, or even death. The use of triptans and other vasoconstrictors as abortive treatments in BTM is contraindicated. Abortive treatments for BTM often focus on vasodilation and restoration of normal blood flow to the vertebrobasilar territory and subsequent return of normal brainstem function. Familial hemiplegic migraine See also the main article on Familial hemiplegic migraine Familial hemiplegic migraine 'FHM' is a type of migraine with a possible polygenetic component. These migraine attacks may last 4-72 hours and are apparently caused by ion channel mutations, three types of which have been identified to date. Patients who experience this syndrome have relatively typical migraine headaches preceded and/or accompanied by reversible limb weakness on one side as well as visual, sensory or speech difficulties. A non-familial form exists as well, "sporadic hemiplegic migraine" (SHM). It is often difficult to make the diagnosis between basilar-type migraine and hemiplegic migraine. When making the differential diagnosis is difficult, the deciding symptom is often the motor weakness or unilateral paralysis which can occur in FHM or SHM. While basilar-type migraine can present with tingling or numbness, true motor weakness and/or paralysis occur only in hemiplegic migraine. Abdominal migraine According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders abdominal migraine is a recurrent disorder of unknown origin which occurs mainly in children. It is characterised by episodes of moderate to severe central abdominal pain lasting 1-72 hours. There is usually associated nausea and vomiting but the child is entirely well between attacks. In order to diagnose abdominal migraine, there must be at least 5 attacks, not attributable to another cause, fulfilling the following criteria: 1. Attacks lasting 1-72 hours when untreated 2. Pain must have ALL of the following characteristics: Location in the midline, around the umbilicus or poorly localised Dull or 'just sore' quality Moderate or severe intensity 3. During an attack there must be at least two of the following: Loss of appetite Nausea Vomiting Pallor Most children with abdominal migraine will develop migraine headache later in life and the two may co-exist during adolescence. Acephalgic migraine Acephalgic migraine is a neurological syndrome. It is a variant of migraine in which the patient may experience aura symptoms such as scintillating scotoma, nausea, photophobia, hemiparesis and other migraine symptoms but does not experience headache. Acephalgic migraine is also referred to as amigrainous migraine, ocular migraine, or optical migraine. Sufferers of acephalgic migraine are more likely than the general population to develop classical migraine with headache. The prevention and treatment of acephalgic migraine is broadly the same as for classical migraine. However, because of the absence of "headache", diagnosis of acephalgic migraine is apt to be significantly delayed and the risk of misdiagnosis significantly increased. Visual snow might be a form of acephalgic migraine. If symptoms are primarily visual, it may be necessary to consult an ophthalmologist to rule out potential eye disease before considering this diagnosis
lol you're on your own with the tickets..lol eh? thirstier?? lol it might be the water that you are drinking.. What kind is it?? Maverick: Wow, a lot of information, thank you!!! Usually it is in the top and back of my head and in my eyes. Thats why when I have my migraines, I usually have to go to sleep, because the pain that I feel in my eyes and head is unbearable, I cannot stand to do anything else, but to try to sleep it off.. It can last for the whole day into the next day.. My eyes get ultra sensitive to light, I get very sensitive to sound, my ears hurt, occasionally my temples hurt, sometimes my forehead hurts, along with everywhere else.. The pain is a throbbing or pulsating type.. anyway, I hate em!!! lol Im glad that Im not getting as much so far..
Can you tell me more about when you have migraines? Sometimes your activities can be a clue to the source of your migraine. Sometime it is caused by wrong lighting or too long time behind a monitor (monitor can also be seen as a sort of lighting) Stress can also be a source. So did you see/notice any pattern in the migraine attacks? I'm asking this because I also had migraines in the past. But I found ways to fight it and now I rarely have it. Problem is, what works for me doesn't necessary work for you. That is why you need to explore your situation in order to come to a cure/remedy.
Have you already consulted a doctor about this? There are medications made especially for people who suffer from migraines (Tylenol is not one of them), and from what I've heard from a friend who also has this problem, a medication called "Maxalt" works very well to alleviate the pain. I have to say, if you are having a migraine, STAY AWAY from the computer - the glare of the screen will do nothing to help you clear the migraine. Drink plenty of fluids (though it seems you already are), eat a little as soon as you feel hungry even if you don't feel much like eating, and try lying down in a darkened room.
I dont know what else to tell you... I haven't noticed a pattern, it just happens.. Hm. I agree about that, I started a journal about my migraines, maybe then, if there is a pattern, I'll find it. when I have migraine, Im in bed. I cant and dont want to do anything else.. Maxalt?.. Do you know it's contents?.. If it's not natural, I most likely dont want it. Thank you though..I did go to the Doctor a long time ago about another problem I had with my head.. O.. Now that I think about it, it could be related! I will go again soon, hopefully. Thank you!
^They are different. lol As in distilled water is actually more healthy to drink than Spring water. Bet you didnt know that, huh?? But it tastes nastyy... =( Some water tastes bitter, some doesnt. I drink Spring water (Zephrhills) lol I think thats how you spell it, anyway, and I like it.
... and I thought that Spring water was healthier due to the minerals ... That is why I always take Perrier with a slice of lemon, when I travel business class Guess I'm wrong
mm, I love Perrier spring water.. Anyway, they say that distilled kills all the organisms that are usually left in the spring or natural water, its free of sodium, and impurities too, due to the process that it undergoes. It is the "purest" form of water lol it has nothing in it. Yes, it doesn't have the minerals, however, the majority of minerals that we take in doesn't come from water, but from the food that we eat, thus the lack of minerals in the water supposedly doesn't pose a problem. That's what the "experts" say lol but I still love my spring water.. You know, my mother drinks her water sometimes with the lemon, but *ewwwie* I dont care for that at all..
