I've Had A Migraine For The Last 5 Weeks, Been To The Hospital At Least The Same Amount Of Times For It, So Sunday I Can't Talk/walk/ Nada... I Go To Vegas Via Helicopter. I Even Asked For An M-60. They Wouldn't Gimme.... Frickin' Medics!!! Anyway I Get To The Er, Get All Kindsa Tests And Yay, A Tia For Me, That's A Small Stroke For The Medically Languaged Challenged... Turns Out I Got A Blockage In My Carotid Artery, That's Bein' Treated With Meds... But I Still Got The Migraine! Just Got Back From The Doc Who Gave Me A Shot Of Demerol, Which Ain't Kicked In, But I Asked For Potassium Chloride Fo My Heart... He Says They Only Do That On Death Row. Screw Hipocrates!!!!
Damned Hippocritical Oath!!
 
Demerol, mmmm....that nice warm happy feeling. To bad I only got it after being hit by a truck!

Dave,

Sorry to hear your head hurts bro. At least this event was less traumatic than your last one. Good to see you're alive enough to bitch about it:)

Take care Bro.
 
I am sorry to hear about your Transient Eschemic Attack!! And I KNOW what having a migraine for that long is like!! ( I had one for 3 months.) I am sorry that you are going through all this!! That sucks!!
 
Sorry to hear about your illness but let's get to the important parts, did you score any nurses?
 
ask for ergotamine. it is made from mushrooms (synthasized). It dilates the blood vessels which constrict during migraine attacks.

hope you get a lot better a lot sooner.
 
THANKS FOR THE WELL WISHES AGAIN, GUYS, I DUNNO ABOUT DEMEROL BEING MORE POWERFUL THAN SMACK THO... NEVER TRIED THE LATER, BUT I GOT MY SCRIPS FILLED FOR MORPHINE TODAY AND FEEL BETTER ALREADY.
KAMIKAZIMOJO MY JEWISH AMERICAN PRINCESS FRIEND, ALAS, NO, NO SCORING NURSES, I ACCIDENTALLY RESTED MY HAND ON A BOOB DURING A BLOOD PRESSURE TEST THO, THAT COUNT? NEVER HEARD OF ergotamine.... ONLY EXPERIENCE I HAD WITH MUSHROOMS INVOLVED MY FIRST VIEWING OF A MIKE TYSON FIGHT AND BEING UNABLE TO STOP LAUGHING WHEN I HEARD HIM SPEAK. I WAS CONVINCED I COULD KICK HIS ASS WITH A VOICE LIKE THAT. HEY DID I EVER CLAIM TO BE SMART?
ANYHOW, I WENT BACK TO THE DOC THIS AM AND AGAINASKED FOR A LETHAL INJECTION. THE NURSE SAID, "ARE YOU SERIOU?" I TOOK MY GLASSES OFF AND SAID "DO I LOOK LIKE I'M KIDDING?" THEY TOOK ME INTO THE EXAM ROOM RIGHT AWAY.... THE DOC SAID "I GAVE YOU DEMEROL YESTERDAY."" I SPLAINED THAT IT WORE OFF AGAIN AND BEGGED, BUT HE SAID IT'S TOO MUCH. HE GAVE ME A SCRIP FOR SOMETHING I NEVER HEARD F, THAT MY PHARMACY'S WERE OUTTA STOCK ON SO I'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GET THAT. MEANWHILE THE MORPHINE OUGHTA KEEP ME OUTTA THE HOSPITAL FOR A BIT. I'LL P[OST AGAIN IF I CROAK OR SOMETHING. THANKS FOR LETTING ME RANT/VET/WHATEVER.

Damm V.G.! Sorry to hear your still in pain. Hopefully the new meds will help.

There's a cute young thing that takes my blood pressure at the docs...she does the same thing with the arm under the boob thing. She wonders why my b.p. is so high....well if you didn't have your 25 year old firm boob sitting on my arm it wouldn't be quite so high!!
 
Pain is both natures way of telling us to slow down, and to remind us that we are alive... given that I only have 2 joints left to injure, I think mine is of the 'slow down' variety, I'll be doing good to get another 20yrs out of my body if I keep this pace up.

2.5-3 weeks of the last 4 I've had my knee wrapped up so I could even stand on it. The only thing that does anything to the pain is flexoral, but then I'm a vegetable for a few hours. Killed the pain with motrin last week, 10x400mg super strength motrin to get rid of the pain(over 3hrs :eek:).

There are days *I* go looking for some .45 therapy...
 
Ergotamine is a mold that has been found on grains especially rye. A big problem in the old days. One of the components is lysergic acid the parent chemical of LSD. Needless to say the people exposed to ergotamine experience hallusinations . The last big outbreak was in Switzerland about 60 years ago , they ran around biting trees etc !!!
 
Demerol sucks. That’s the kind of stuff they give you for minor dental pain. You need Dilaudid or something...
 
This is what we did for my wife. She has VERY bad knees, a crumbling spine, etc. Her orthopedic doctor recommended the pain clinic. Our local pain clinic is run by a couple of anethesiologists. These guys are MUCH better educated on the causes and treatment of pain than your average MD. They also aren't afraid to give VERY strong drugs when necessary.
The pain clinic keeps in touch with my wife's other doctors and reports to them regularly so they know what's going on. The other doctors still treat my wife's various problems, but the pain clinic handles ALL prescriptions for pain medicine.
My wife is doing MUCH better since she started going there over a year ago.
I highly recommend you try this approach.
Good Luck!

VG in another life you were required to touch boobies. At least you could when you pulled up in that big truck with the pretty lights and the loud horns and such... or was that on the job as a medic???? :D:D:D


Wishing you no pain in the head.

VG,

I wish you luck with the pain. As others said the pain reminds you you're alive. Potassium Chloride is suppose to burn worse than anything you can imagine (from my long ago days working in animal biology).

Accidental mass ergotamine poisoning (by eating moldy corn) is one of the popular theories as to how the Salem Witch Trials got started.

Edited to say my mind is filled with useless trival junk. ;)
 
Hang in there, Mr.Gerbil! If you're a real vampire, just drink some blooooooood, and you'll feel better!

All the best,
John
