That's great your insurance pays for the entire amount. Our insurance is chintzy and just pays a small percentage. So, was it Imitrex that helped cause the kidney stones?

No, it was Topiramate. It is an anti-seizure drug for epilepsy actually, however in lower doses it is used for migraine prevention and management in those who have frequent acute or complicated episodes. It worked wonderfully for me in my migraine management and I didn't really suffer from any other side effects at all. Since the kidney stone side effect is a rare one it isn't something usually monitored for. I was just "lucky" I guess.

Oh, that's really too bad. Dang. I have several friends who suffer from migraines and none of them have ever found anything to relieve their pain. The fact that you had a medication that worked but now you can't take it because of other side effects, just SUCKS! I'm sorry about that. I really do hope you find something that works soon.

 

[Smart_Guy]

That I can do. I may end up using some of your toe and/or finger bones to use for tuning knobs for my bass.

Ma'am, I'd be honored

I think I literally just felt something get pinched or possibly even torn (if it's a muscle) in my hip. It hurts so much that I can't stand up at the moment without feeling sharp pain there.

It's definitely time for a visit to the doctor.

No kidding. You sound about 85 years old. Let us know how it goes.

Yeah... it really sucks to have so many injuries this early. I don't even want to think about what I could be like if I became 85.

It's pretty much a necessity to get in to a neurologist. For average migraine sufferers medications like sumatriptan and the ilk will often help quite well as they are pain relievers designed for migraines and can be taken at onset. For those with frequent migraines (1-2/wk or more) and/or complicated migraines a preventative may be used. These are usually in the brain-altering type of med families like anti-seizure, anti-anxiety, anti-depressant. It's just difficult, with the side effects, to find the right match for a person.

The anti-depressant route just may not be good for me given the reaction to even a low dose of one. I felt like crap, shaky and "off" the 3 days I took it. Now, first day off it and I feel the best I have in a while now.

That's interesting information. I'll have to ask more questions because from what I remember, they just take Imitrex and haven't really tried much else. I know for sure two of these friends definitely haven't gone to a neurologist. Thanks for the info!

No problem. You're welcome. Hope it helps.

I vote Draka. I mean, when was the last time a yellow flower beat up anybody?

I don't know, chimps can be rather violent.

If we're going by avatars though, I appear to have a fleet at my command.

That chimp was from a former life. I got my anger issues under control and no longer tear people's limbs off. Generally, I just spew pollen on them these days.

Ok. But it'll be a few days before I'm out of the thing that turns me back into a regular non-80's serial killer, and then I'll have to find my first victims, and then I'll have to find a way over to you, ponder why I'm killing such a cute guy, and then remember it's the rage of the missing Frubals.
I guess the lives of Daddy A_E and/or Uncle Sunstone are at risk right now (Maybe A_E, since he's so far behind on child support, but Uncle Phil did have a weird thing with Ms. Doll that left me mentally disturbed). Only by Frubals being restored and their warm fuzzy nurturing goodness returned can their lives be spared. The first movie will be Frubals: The Ax of Deth. There should be no less than 6 or 8 (Rex will be the victim of the 4th one, the one that doesn't seem right at first but justifiable once you see the story) of them, so I'll need a string of victims. Wirey may be the only safe one because his farts, even in death, will kill the mood. Revoltingest, because of his uncanny resemblance to Willy, is practically doomed to just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I predict his red plastic gas can in the shed is going to be shot with something that in no way will cause a spark, but his shed will go up in flames anyways, and him along with it. Draka and Buttercup will be those cute girls you wonder why'd they have to die, but you do get to see their pretty faces again, as their heads are displayed on a table, or car, I'd go with the Hannibal formaldehyde but I don't want to deviate too far from the 80'sness of it. Smart_Guy will be that guy, that one person that makes the killer pause, smile maybe even, but the rage takes over and that person ends up brutally murdered. The LHP room may seem abit more dark and brooding than normal for awhile, but just do the smart thing, which is pretty much anything you don't see in the movies, and you'll be ok.
Or maybe the Frubals will be returned and no one will have to die.

Just remember, you just now looked at me weird. I'm going to be in need of a victim who was the one who finally pushed me over the edge. You won't be my first victim in sequential order of the movie, but the flashbacks of my history are going to show you looking at me weird, me giving you a chilling stare in return (and it will be an emulation of that creepy stare little Japanese girls give in Japanese horror), and then show you in your home, me barging in, and your head getting lopped off by my completed Ax even though I could not have started on it by that point in time.

PLEASE NO!!!!

If my head is going to end up preserved and displayed on some car, can it at least be a classic car? Perhaps upon the hood of my father's 78 Cobra II Mustang? Like to see him try to clean that up with dusting polish and the rags he keeps for constant spot cleaning.

Sure. But that is only if I quit drooling over the car that is. And playing odes to the Mustang on my bass. And then cleave in half the first person who interrupts me. This can be Debate Slayer since he's the last one left alive on the page.
