Somebody cut off my head?

There was a woman talking on the radio one day. She gradually sickened and weakened and doctors were completely fazed and could find no physical reason. Fortunately for her it somehow came out that to be totally organic in her garden she was making a geranium tea that she used as a pesticide. It nearly offed her.

So yes, the most unlikely things in concentration or abnormally used can be dangerous.

Hi, unlurking for the first time in a few years to throw in my two cents' worth.

First, I second the Midrin recommendation. Nothing else works for me. Second, I'm sad to hear Topamax didn't help you. It worked pretty well for me. The doctor put me on a six-month round of dosages, and it took mine down from weekly to monthly. Third, the dental thing has two angles, look at the occlusion of teeth, and make sure with your yearly dental x-rays that you don't have any hidden cavities that could be aggravating them. I had a bad root canal that made mine worse. Last, watch for food allergies and diabetes. When I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and began treatment, my incidence and severity plummeted.

Just ideas, and I can truly sympathize.

That`s a point! It was at the same time that I stopped the Pill and was diagnosed with type II diabetes that my migraines stopped

The strange thing is that two my friends are starting "the change" and have started getting migraines in almost the same breathe.

While pregnant with 3rd dd, I had a recurring dream that I was on a bus with the other two, I got off with one, but the other stayed on and I couldn't catch up with the bus. Probably explains why to this day I count heads on a continual basis at the mall or other out of the house activies.

Having children changes your life in profound ways, doesn't it?

When I have my grandchildren with me, I'm constantly doing head counts. That show about Adam Walsh really made me think about things like that.

Pat, the spider phobia is shared with my DH. He can handle anything around the house, even snakes, but I have to deal with the spiders.

I can cope with any other form of wildlife, but a large spider makes my stomach violently knot up!

My mother used to tease me by suddenly tossing a tomato stalk at me when I was a kid, as she knew I hated spiders. She didn`t MEAN to be mean, but I`d always jump a mile and let out a terrific shriek. She couldn`t understand ANYONE minding spiders and picked even the largest up quite happily.

On the other hand, she didn`t like mice or snakes, which never bothered me one bit. I think that it`s just those eight scurrying legs that give me the willies! My oldest and dearest schoolfriend STILL reminds me of the time we were walking and talking and I suddenly vanished. I`d spotted a spider descending on a thread from a tree branch and just somersaulted down the bank!!!

DH and I have an agreement - he deals with spiders - I deal with the moths and crickets that give HIM the creeps (and the occasional frog that hops in from the pond, and has him cowering in his chair with his feet up!) He`s nearly 6 ft tall, and weighs 280 lbs!!! LOL!

Well, the way I deal with spiders is to smash them flat. No touching.

But DH deals with the gekkos that get into the house, and actually came home from work in the middle of the day several years ago to deal with a snake on our back porch. I am truly, truly snake phobic.

Don't feel bad. We have a lot of toads around the house, and one day we saw one in the house. It was just me and middle dd and I wasn't about to touch it! DD laughed at me and chased it into a corner and put it outside. It's not that they are ugly, tho they certainly are...it's the way they can jump without warning and in directions you don't anticipate!

I'm hopeless with spiders too. A big one fell on my music when I was playing the piano when I was a kid. I can cope with them if there's no one else to get rid of them, but they really do freak me out.
