   Get thee to a doctor, woman!

   It’s just a headache. Probably weather-related or period-related. I’ve had them before. Don’t worry.

   I’m sorry, doll. Did you try the ice to the top of your neck?

4. freakgirl on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 9:56 am

   No. I’m too cold. I’m afraid I’ll never get warm again. I will attempt it later, if I lie down for a while.

   UPDATE: I took an allergy pill this morning, thinking maybe it’s some sort of weather-related thing. I take allergy pills all the time with no problem. This one has now made me dizzy and unable to properly focus my eyes.

   I AM FALLING APART, PEOPLE.

   Really, try the ice. I often use the same trick. Also, is the headache at the front of your head or the back. If it is in front try this trick - in the area between your thumb and index finger there is a vein - you can actually feel it. Squeeze that area as hard as you can for a few minutes and then release. Do this on each hand a couple of times and your headache should go away.

   After some lunch I think I’ll lie down and try the ice pack thing.

   It is in the front/top of my head. I’ll try the squeezy thing too. Although I’ve tried that in the past with little success. But who knows?

   I’m sorry you feel so bad. Headaches suck bigtime. Especially those that stick around. I have no tips to offer, only good vibes.

    Aside: I enjoy reading your comments even more, Marjon, now that I’m pronouncing your name correctly in my head.

    :: raises hand ::

    I taught him how!

    In MY head, I call them “Marion” and “Even.” It makes me laugh every time. Because I’m five.

12. Michael on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 1:01 pm

    I was pronouncing it a little like mahjong.

13. Marjon on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 1:20 pm

    Hehehe. I think most people pronounce it a little lik mahjong. When I’m in the US I always introduce myself as Marion. It’s easier.
    And then there are our last names…

    So how do you say the name?

15. Hugh on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 1:35 pm

    I’m not a big believer in signs from above, but…headache for days, when suddenly, a WILD FRICKIN’ TURKEY appears before you…I’m just sayin’ I have another idea for the ice.

16. Michael on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 3:14 pm

    Yeah, what Hugh said.

    I figure, even though it’s via the internets, then I’m not drinking alone. On a Thursday afternoon. At work.

17. Julia on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 3:22 pm

    Do you maybe have a sinus infection? You do not need to have any drainage (ewww, but it is a real medical term) to have one. Can you go to the doc?
    Feel better soon.

    I don’t think I have a sinus infection. I think I just have a headache that won’t go away. I’ll be fine. I’m just pissed off, that’s all. Exercising makes it hurt more and I’m stuck in a shame spiral about NOT exercising. Maybe I’ll just try and do some strength training instead.

    Hugh, good point about the wild turkey. One might think it was a sign from god, if one actually believed in god. More likely, just the universe trying to tell me something. And who am I to deny the universe? Since there were three turkeys, does that mean I have to have three shots? Three glasses? Three bottles?

19. Michael on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 3:42 pm

    Take a shot once. Twice. Three times.

    You’re a lady, right?

    ((sorry))

20. freakgirl on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 3:45 pm

    OH, I AM ALL WOMAN, MY FRIEND.

21. Hugh on Thursday, January 25, 2007 at 4:58 pm

    We have this classic old shotglass with pictures of Kentucky Colonels and the like on it.
    The lowest, 1/2 oz level is marked for “Bollweevils.”
    The regular, 1oz level is marked for “Yankees.”
    The 1-1/2 “rocks” level is marked for “Gentlemen and Ladies,”

    …and the little mark at the lip of the glass (must be 2.25 oz, never checked,) is for Rebels.

    Ah’m not sayin’…ah’m just sayin’.
