This happened when I was younger and living in a different state. I went and had an MRI done and we found nothing abnormal. It was suggested it might be sinuses, but that they really didn't know, only that it was not neurological at that time.
My concern is that I wake up often with headaches (similar to how it feels when one is dehydrated and suffering from a hangover), but that I don't know what causes them and so far have not really found a solution. I can only keep taking migraine strength Tylenol for so long, ya' know?
Have you tried taking a 24hr allergy med a few days in a row? If it's sinuses or allergy related, that could help settle inflammation. If nothing changes, then nothing lost.
Like Zyrtec or Claritin, I assume? No, but we have some.. I can always give it a go.1 -

In the 80s my doctor prescribed a medication for a migraine that had me on the sofa for a week.
15min after I took it, migraine was gone.
They sell the medication over the counter now.
Percogesic, it’s by the pain relievers at the drug store.
It’s only tylenol and some kind of antihistamine but it flat knocks my headaches out.
It does make me sleepy.
Just FYI 😊
Hope you find relief.0 -

I'll see if I can locate it. The migraine strength Tylenol does pretty good most of the time, but I don't want to become reliant on it. I'm always concerned that I'll develop a tolerance to certain OTC drugs.
I think last time, they prescribed me Zomig. It was weird, it dissolved on your tongue and tasted gross. Also, pretty sure it's a scheduled drug, so requires a lot of follow up appointments to keep getting scripts written for it.1 -

Zomig is a triptan and there are different modalities if you don't like the quick-melt.
I would check with your provider about the availably of prescriptions for Zomig.
If Zomig doesn't work, there are other drugs in the same class of triptans.0 -

- How the *kitten* did the cat get his jaws that high up on a moving target with no solid footing to actively bite through the curtain?

I am reminded once again of why I avoid the Debate forum on MFP. There are some truly *kitten* people with some truly *kitten* attitudes and opinions about people different than them. Holy yikes.

I rarely make plans with friends and when I do make plans in a fit of fake it till you make it, I often spend quite a bit of time hoping for inclement weather or a broken ankle so that I can cancel. I don’t really flake out anymore but I still often want to.
Last week I made plans to meet a friend today for some socially distant coffee and not once did I hope to be hospitalized beforehand. I am honestly disappointed that the snow has canceled our plans.
I’ve been trying to figure out what made me truly look forward to this get together. Yes I do like her but I usually like the people I make plans with so that’s not it.
The best I can figure is that I believe she truly likes me too. I often feel like my friends only tolerate me and that their friendship with me has more to do with their own altruism than anything worthwhile in me.
I have no pithy way to close out this book I accidentally wrote so that’s that11 -
Also. I’m listening to a book about overcoming social anxiety and it’s making me anxious. 🤦♀️8

I don't like the idea that there's only 1 acceptable way to think. I get that side of it a lot of time, but sometimes debate is just debate, not scientific trials and medical proof.4 -

I just got kicked out of a FB group for not taking a side in an argument. Lesson learned: always side with the person that has their finger on the ban button.6 -

I would never want to be part of a group with standards so low that would accept someone like me.
It's kinda of a win-win.6 -

has anyone else had a parent die relatively young, and now you are also sick and wonder if you'll die at the same age they did?
I cannot even imagine, and don't have adequate words. I hope you are able to fight this *kitten* of an illness. You're one amazing lady!1 -
My daughter, I thought we were done with this but she's being bullied again. She showed me messages she recieved and it really breaks my heart. People can be so cruel. Wish I felt better to be a better mom this week. I also wish she could follow my footsteps and leave social media aside a bit.14

This is one of the reasons why I am getting in shape: to be able to deal with the parents of bullies, if it comes to that (and in my neck of the woods...it will).
I’m sorry you are dealing with this. Kids can be so cruel.5 -
What’s on my mind?
Well, how would you feel if your BIL & SIL texted your husband asking him if he was aware that I started another Instagram page? (My husband doesn’t have Instagram)
WTF- how old am I? Why didn’t you come directly to me or include me in the group text.
I would have told ya straight up what , and why!?
Did you have a bad surgery experience... heck no, maybe I’d like to blog, and share so others would like to see what a breast lift and skin removal looks like! My nips- blacked out, my kitty was blobbed out.
That’s what’s on my mind! Why n the F?5 -

Thanks, hopefully it gets better.
Adults can be cruel too... I've dealt with that in these forums from grown adults 😆1 -

My mommy heart aches 💔
My mommy heart has been aching all day, she's had a hard time with this for a few years. It had stopped. I have a really good relationship with my daughter so she tells me mostly everything. She showed me what was happening and it really made me hate social media even more than I already did! She certainly doesn't need that, especially after the last couple of years and everything she's been through.4 -

I can understand why your mind would take you places like that, your age, the 25th anniversary of losing her.
To answer your question no, not a parent although my parents having heart attacks at relatively young ages so as I passed those ages as well, I found myself actually looking at every symptom as a possibility, but grandparents dying young, yes.
I feel it's a very normal thing to do and to fear. Our brains can't help but take us to those places sometimes. ALS is another one of those slow life-stealing diseases.
I'm learning to take one day at a time, enjoy it and get out of it what you can. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Keep taking care of yourself and find moments of laughter/love/happiness along the way. 4
