Ive had an almost constant headache since October last year. Come to find out, its a nice side effect of Bipolar, and only with strong narcotics does it go away. I understand how you feel when you say you want to quit, ive been there many times in the last 6 months. You just have to remember to be strong, honey! Mind over matter, as they say. I know that sounds stupid when you are in pain and cant even think along a strait line, but it works for me.

I imagine myself as a small version of me, and picture the MimiMe walking into my head. MimiMe walks over to the headache and studys it for a minute. What color is it, what texture? is it red, black, yellow? Jagged edged, smooth, round? Big, small? Then, I picture MimiMe going over to a tool cabinet, and opening it. I carefully select a tool from the shelves, and go to work on the headache. I sand down rough edges, flatten out bumps, bleach away the angry colors. And, usually, as I picture the MimiMe 'fixing' my headache, it helps alot.

Im not sure if it will work for you, honey, but I sure hope it does.

Have you seen a doctor about getting some migraine medicine. I take Imitrex and it really helps relieve it for 8 hrs or so then I have to take another one. This morning I woke up with a migraine and the pain was so bad waiting 40 mins or so for the Imitrex to work was awful, I can't imagine dealing with it for 11 days straight. Hope you feel better soon.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
