Headaches vs. Migraines

by Coded Logic in

a while back a coworker was telling me she had a migraine in the morning and had to take some aspirin before coming to work.

i was like, "yeah, that wasn't a migraine dear.

that was just a headache.

I have had migraines my entire life the crazy thing is even with my head pounding out of control I would continue to work. About 5 years ago the doctor had me log my headaches and it was found that I was actually having as many as 20 migraines a month.

The doctors finally started me on a preventative which most people take 25 to 50 MG to control their migraines to bring my migraines under control the dosage over the years has been raised to 350 mg.

As you say it puts you to bed in pain mine never did this. The doctor at John Hopkins explained migraines will take different forms and since I suffered from them for 40 years I had learned to deal with the pain but what was getting bad 5 years ago it started to effect the nerve endings in my face. All the nerve endings were getting very sensitive whenever a migraine came on. It got to the point that I had to take pain killers just to take a shower because I could not tolerate water touching my face or head. Trying to brush my hair was next to impossible even putting on makeup became unbearable. Once they got my headaches under control the nerve endings were no longer sensitive.

My migraines do not make me throw up but when I get migraines it is weeks before I can tolerate the smell or taste of food. I just have to force myself to eat.

And when the Judge ask have they produced that list this month in the follow up hearing in the other case. That should have lots of names and places. Those bunkers might be full, there might just be a lot of people hiding.

To highlight how unfair shunning is

by joe134cd in

i'm going to relate a jw family that i know of that highlight how disproportionate disfellowshipping is.

both dad (elder) and mum are die hard jw.

the son was always a nasty boy and when he got into drugs it just intensified his personality 10 fold.

I would sorta of guess if there is no money and they need some type of care somebody is going to be calling on you. Although not a JW in the real world the same crap goes on. My sister the "Princess" does not talk to me handles everything with the nursing home like she is a big shot but she is so strung out on prescription drugs she has no clue which side is up let alone where down would be. My week started at 1:05PM on Sunday, it seems my sister was not answering her phone so the nursing home called me. OH, 89 year old mom tried to escape then chased 3 nurses down the hallway, then grabbed a pair of scissors and went after a nurse. They got drs orders to heavily sedate her. Next day my sister was called to a conference I told her in no uncertain terms you will not meet or speak to anyone at this facility unless I am on the speaker phone do you clearly understand these instructions? Finally I got through to her. Basically they want her out of there. BUT, this facility made a huge blunder they submitted her reapp and had my mother sign this legal document NOW what a cotton picking minute this woman was declared incompetent many many years ago. So when medicaid denied benefits 6 weeks ago guess who got the notice. NOW, I am trying to move this old violent woman with just her S.S. payment. Guess what just hit the fan!! This Italian lady ain't happy, nursing home ain't happy, corporate office just got involved cause the Italian lady hates chain of command!! Alz is one ugly disease especially if they are the violent type.

How do you deal with depression?

by BlackWolf in

jw
friends

i'm currently going through a bout of depression and my eating disorder has gotten worse.

ever since my parents actually told me that they are going to kick me out when i turn 18 i've felt kind of hopeless about my life.

my parents won't take me to the doctor because the psychiatrists won't have my "best interests" aka jw crap in mind, because really that's the root of all my problems.. i'm wondering if any of you guys have any advice with dealing with depression?

rebelfighter

I have never been a JW!! So the comments above about evil apostates do not apply here. I love all youth and have worked with youth in my spare time my entire adult life.

How are your parents treating your siblings now, how will they treat them in the future? Do you want your siblings to go through what your going through now? MHO, your parents are being very abusive. I was a much older parent but when both of my children reached the age of 17 they made their own decisions, went where they wanted and did what they wanted.

We live in a very large state but if you are any where near either my daughter or myself we WILL reach out to you somehow!! My daughter is a teacher, she is aware of your situation. PM ME please!

Please note my prior post.

Your state has a Child mental health care system and it is free up till you are 18. Also please go online and research your state laws for emancipation you may qualify for a couple of reasons primary because of the fact that your parents are withholding medical care. The age is 16. Please PM me as to what part of our state you live in.

Never a JW here. I'LL bet my bottom dollar when those dye hard JW's are old and need to be cared for guess who will be taking care of them? Not that son, more then likely it will be that daughter they shunned all along.

LoisLane,

Thank you for bringing this story forward I totally enjoyed it. The writer is great and for a non- JW it is very interesting how especially there own children will abandoned their elderly.

Interesting they can accuse a man of apostasy for talking about 1975 when he lived through it, "what have you been reading"? Check my age you dim wits!

I also find it very interesting the JWS pick and choose which Bible verses they will use. Although I no longer believe in the Bible I so remember many mentions of honoring your father and mother. I for one had a very hateful and violent mother BUT when she was in trouble I did not turn my back on her. I have spent the last 3 days trying to find another nursing home that will take this 89 year old wicked lady because she will not stop beating up staff and running away. 15 incident reports in 1 yr 6 months. That is about right, she would call the County Sheriff every time she beat me up and that is about the same average.

My advice to anyone DO NOT drink alcohol it will FRY your brain!!
