I am THIS close to taking my first Tylenol in a decade

[u4ic]

I have the most massive headache. How anyone thinks we can put a production together in 4 rehearsals is...:crazy:


:banghead: :cry::nuke:

[billyskank]

1. ....

:hug:

:loveya:

[u4ic]

2. Ah, sweet billy!

How are you today? :loveya:




The hug is much appreciated... :hug:

[cwydro]

3. Terrible for your liver.

Take aspirin instead.

And I hope you feel better.:hug:

[u4ic]

4. Thank you, cwydro

:hug:

I know on an ongoing basis they're terrible for one's liver, but I need some instant relief. Egads, this is a doozy. I'm even nauseous (I don't have migraines).

Aspirin doesn't sit well with my tummy, unfortunately. (even on a full stomach)

Maybe I should just self medicate with the cast iron frying pan. It couldn't hurt any more than this...:silly:

[cwydro]

37. yikes!

Well I do hope you feel better.

[u4ic]

47. Thanks - I'm better this evening

It's still there, but not nearly as bad. :hi:

[SmokingJacket]

60. I only ever take Ibuprofen these days.

Not as bad for your liver, and knocks the headache RIGHT out.

[havocmom]

7. ABSOLUTELY!

Tylenol is for pain you want to keep around. Never noticed it doing anything but messing up a liver.

[billyskank]

10. It does work on a headache for me

although it can take up to an hour to take effect.

Except for caffeine withdrawal headaches, nothing seems to affect them.

[cwydro]

38. I guess it works for a lot of people

but for me, only aspirin works.

[Left Is Write]

41. It works great for me when I have a sore throat.

My liver is a-okay.

I take ibuprofen for headaches.

[Left Is Write]

40. I think a couple of Tylenol every ten years is just fine.

[cwydro]

43. I think

you're probably right...:hi:

[SPKrazy]

5. Geez, I Cannot Relate

Tylenol, Aleve, even Aspirin are all just part of the deal in my life.

Ibuprofen too sometimes.

Sorry your head hurts, take something for it though :hug:

[u4ic]

12. I don't even have anything on hand

which means I'd have to go out and buy some. Duh! In my pain, I just thought of it.:banghead:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Would a neck massage help?

I have a technique that's been known to put people to sleep. :)

[u4ic]

8. So you can take advantage of them?

:o




A neck massage would so do the trick!! *sigh*

[Neoma]

9. Tylenol isn't the best thing for that.

But what ever.

[u4ic]

14. What is then?

I haven't had this bad of a headache in years.

[Neoma]

36. Benadryl maybe.

Though I could be confusing that with something else.

[Left Is Write]

39. Benadryl is an antihistamine. It won't do a thing for a stress headache.

[Neoma]

42. Yeah, I don't remember the name then.

[some guy]

11. Stop

banging your head on that wall, and your headache will at least lessen. :P

:hi:

It is possible to put together a production in 4 rehearsals...













































































...as long as you have at least a month of daily practices between each rehearsal. :hug:

I'm sorry you have a headache and stress. :hug: :hug:

[u4ic]

15. LOL

I like your sense of time. :P

And some sage advice there on the head banging...

Thanks for the hugs. My blood pressure is starting to go down a bit. :hug:

[some guy]

31. glad I could give you a laugh

so what's the production going to be? And what's your role?

:hug: I hope you're feeling at least a bit better. :hug

[Roon]

13. I woke up with a headache the other day

It was terrible..the pain ran from my head down the back of my neck. I took aspirin all day long and it didn't work. So I finally took some ibuprofen and it knocked it out in 40 minutes.

[u4ic]

16. That's the type of headache

I'll see the chiropractor for. That's how I tend to get my headaches relieved.

He doesn't do anything for these stress headaches, though.

I may go out and get some ibuprofen. :pals:

[datasuspect]

17. bayer pharmaceuticals offers fine pain relief products

[u4ic]

19. Them were the days...

[datasuspect]

21. look at the "service items" selections on the menu

benzedrine is amphetamine

[MnFats]

18. I recommend narcotic painkillers. Morphine works wonders on a headache.

although Percocet will often do as well.

JUST KIDDING! for all the DEA agents monitoring DU!

[u4ic]

20. Morphine...the choice of terrorists!

Just in case the DEA somehow missed your post...:P

[datasuspect]

22. nine out of ten militant environmental activists agree

when flying major airlines, morphine is THE drug of choice for short term pain.

[u4ic]

24. Due to cop inflicted injuries...

[hfojvt]

23. Just say 'no' to drugs n/t

[u4ic]

25. I'd say yes to a neck and shoulder massage!

:D

[hfojvt]

27. and I would be happy to volunteer

I am afraid I would just be a clumsy amateur. I had a girl massage my back once without warning. I tolerated it for a couple of minutes before I finally had to ask 'is that supposed to hurt like hell?' Possibly I just had alot of tension.

[Whoa_Nelly]

26. Cold damp cloth on back of neck

can work wonders on easing a headache :hug:

[u4ic]

29. Thanks, hon, I'm going to try that

Now that I've had a sit down, it's easing up...very...slightly.

:hug:

[wildhorses]

28. sounds hectic --fun and nerve-wracking

and ALL those egos :P

:hug:

[u4ic]

30. It is all that

but egos...no. We're all pitching in to make it work. I don't know anyone there with anything but a healthy ego. :-)

[wildhorses]

32. cool---

i was teasin'...thought there would be one ham in the bunch:shrug:

feel better soon :hug:

[u4ic]

34. oink oink...

:P

[wildhorses]

35. oh me

you little piggie you :)

[Guava Jelly]

33. Hey 'U'

:hug:
You can only do what you can do.
I bet no matter what happens that you will be smashing when it comes to your part of the production.
:D I just Bet!!

(I could fawn over you or fight Forrest if that would help cheer you up m'friend):loveya:

[u4ic]

45. Hello m'friend!

I'm feeling a bit better now, thanks. Still have a bit of a headache, but I'll live.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! :hug:

[ForrestGump]

52. Any time, man. Any time.

Bring it on, boy.

You got a purty mouth...





:hide:

[Guava Jelly]

59. You feeling froggy??

I've stepped in bigger turds than you!
:mad: I'll murder him for you my sweet lady :loveya:

[QMPMom]

44. Ibuprofen liquigels. Those work the best for me and don't

upset my stomach. The pills upset my stomach.

I hope you feel better soon.

[u4ic]

46. Thanks, QMPMom

:hug:

I really hate taking any sort of painkiller - I didn't, in the end. A bit of a rest helped. :hi:

[ironflange]

48. What's the production?

Hi, long time no see. Are you in a play or something? Ironflange-girl is in a production of "Honk!", they've just started on it, but it doesn't hit the boards till the end of June.

Hope your widdow head is feeling better by now!

[u4ic]

49. Hey old man!

:D

Break a leg, IronflangeGirl! :toast: Is it a school or community production she's in?

Yes, I am. I'd rather not say what it is on the board... ;)

Thanks for the well wishes. It's better, but not 100%. Here's hoping a good sleep can clear it up...

[ironflange]

55. She is with a musical theatre troupe

They practise on Saturdays. Last June the group did a thing called "Tales From Oz," made up of bits from "The Wizard of Oz," "The Wiz," and "Wicked." Maddy was Glinda. It was a really fun show. The group participated in the youth music festival in Shizuoka, Japan, in July. Then, in September, I took her to Portland to see the touring production of "Wicked." What a show!



Maddy's in the middle, obviously. Alex as Elphaba decided against the green paint job.

[bbernardini]

51. Ah, "Honk!" What a spectacular show.

I was the musical director of that for a middle school production about...oh, let's see...4 years ago, I guess. Very clever songwriting, and brilliant orchestration.

[ironflange]

56. Maddy's the Cat

She's excited about it, says it's a really fun part. They're doing a shortened version, but it's still a pretty thick script the kids have to master. The directors really know their stuff, though, and we're all looking forward to the show.

[ForrestGump]

50. Better idea: let me rub your

(pause for effect)














temples.

Gently. :hug:

[u4ic]

53. That'll hit the spot!

Will you fold my laundry, too? :D



:hug:

[ForrestGump]

58. I sure will!

Drop 'em..... :evilgrin:







:hide:






:hug:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

54. Soak a washcloth in hot tapwater. Wring out and put on forehead.

Get up and repeat as needed to clear sinuses and release tension.

Industrial Strength Tylenol is awfully good stuff but that takes a doctor's visit.

[jgraz]

57. Get a friend to give you a hand massage

Have them press their fingertips into the meat of your thumbs and place pressure (usually with fingernails) on thr webs between your fingers. I use it to hold off some serious migraines, so it may help you.

[Maestro]

61. Hope you feel better soon

Work can definitely bring on the headaches. :hug:

[Taverner]

62. Can you take Asprin or Advil instead?

That stuff works much better for headaches...
