Migrane - Brain Strain 4 Gain?

Perhaps it's the change in the weather from dry to wet or warm to cold, but November seems to be my personal migrane season. Dr. Lenny usually can control the problems with medical marijuana and iboprofen - the only meds that he is willing to take. Today the symptoms are acute and askew.

The headache i'm working on now has some new novel symptoms - it seems centered in the fillings in my back teeth. My nerve system is going squeamish with constant vibration - i somehow super-sensitized the whole area. This has caused neck pain, so i shall shed the day - unlax and try to calm down the mechanism, so that Dr. Lenny can be functional tomorrow. I will neither get a rabies shot, nor visit an MD, but will continue the regular regiment of morning coffee, followed by more morning coffee. Migranes mixed with caffeine withdrawals are nasty fare.

Now imagine this type of stuff patrolling cranial cavities. This wood eating fungus does some serious damage to structures that happen to get it - this one grows between the loose paint and the two by four. I like to use my pocket knife to demonstrate size in photo points - but knife sizes vary, so we added a nickel too. Notice the fractal dimension of the mold fungus and also the tree pattern - another case of geometry at work in natural systems.

I hope your pain is gone soon!! For me, a mixture of caffeine and alcohol sometimes works ...

"Say Goodbye to Migraine Headaches" is the cover story in the Dec. LifeExtension magazine by Sergey A. Dzugan, M.D, PhD: "I developed this treatment protocol out of a long-term clinical study in which the parients - 100% - achieved complete relief from migrain pain and related symptoms, including individuals who had difficult-to-treat migraine that had plagued them for more than 30 years."
