Bleh wine... heck yeah to the Bourbon!

This is an outrageous statement.

It comes from a lifetime of being disappointed by human behavior.

in other words, I have a lot to ..not look forward to

You'll fit right in here.

Okay. I see that animated gif avatars aren't working (I'm not so sad about this). I'll check this out. I believe I have a fix but probably not this evening. I also hear that some people aren't getting emails on keyword alerts. I'll be testing this as well.

A girl at work was looking at pictures in my phone,
mostly of my kid
and when one was a pic of me,
she asked, "is this a picture of you when you were younger?"

of course that picture happens to feature a younger version of myself!

I don't think I ever heard of it? I've tried a lot of different things. Generally excedrin + essential oils + darkness + sleep seem to be the only things that get rid of it. Sometimes upping vitamin B works, but since I already take it, it doesn't seem to provide any additional help. This one started Saturday and has been getting progressively worse since, but I think it's finally starting to dissipate.

It is homeopathic, not that that matters to me when I'm in pain. But, it's kind of like IcyHot without the 'hot'. So, it's like having a cold compress on your forehead, for immediate relief. While that is happening the menthol, and other stuff, is absorbed through the skin and helps to get rid of the migraine. Midol is great, if you are choosing between OTC pain relievers. It has a mild muscle relaxant that can help if your migraine is triggered by stress, which can manifest as shoulder/back pain. This helps with that. It also has caffeine in it, which makes the medicine work faster too. The caffeine also helps to offset any lethargy from the muscle relaxer.
tl:dr
So, the HeadOn makes life bearable, while the Midol does it's magic. The caffeine gets you out of bed while you're waiting to feel better.

ALSO, if you have any IcyHot, that works too. Not nearly as well and it makes your eyes water. But if you're in pain, stopping the pain is the most important thing. Take the world's smallest amount of IcyHot and apply to the affected area. My migraines present behind my eyebrow, for instance. LESS IS MORE! You DO NOT wan to get any surplus near your eye.

So lucky! That would be amazing! I'm still completely serious about paying you, even for one tube, if you want. @kryssyy it works really, really well as a distraction because it's very, very cooling. Like menthol on crack.

Not that I want to but, yeah, I'd have to get paid for it. ONLY because they were $5 a tube and are impossible to find these days. I'll see if I can't hook it up.

my wife is plagued by migraines. poor woman can't drink more than one glass of wine without getting one. And stress and worry make them super intense. She tried lots of different things but for the last few years she has been using Axert and it knocks those things right out and she is able to function within an hour or so.

Hey guys, Kryssyy is on Jimmy Kimmel right now

Last time she was on tv she said she rubbed her butt on some Hawaiian rocks and then later had to apologize to everyone. That's such a @kryssyy thing to do.
