Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Wind]

Strat, I can send some healing energy too to you with Omi if that's okay. We are also organizing a weekly global meditation where we could try to help more with your health problems.

cheese was the worst

Hah - the only "food" that my son can find in my kitchen - cheese - cheddar cheese from the raw milk of grass fed cows.

I buy and consume it in bulk (with lots of salt). Awesome stuff.

Strange is the diversity of human (and other being) nature.

Sorry to throw back to this, but I just saw it...I have a "cheese son" also! Makes me nuts.

Strat, sending energy your way, wishing you peace. I hope you can feel it with some surcease from your pain. I wish I had something more to offer besides my fervent hope that a viable solution arrives for you, sooner rather than later.

Dearest Strat, wishing you wellbeing
in every way.

I made it through the night and morning wasn't so bad. So no ER thank god. O2 was delivered today but they screwed up the order and I only got 1 k tank... Annoying but such is life.

For what it's worth I really appreciate the check up. It goes far in my book.

What's Omi?

Absolutely on the meditation. Meditation has been my savior so far so I'm open to this idea. I practice mindfulness often.

Reading my previous post is crazy. It's like a totally different person. I generally don't get worked up in life and am more or less a mellow dude. Just that kinda pain brings out an animalistic (or whatever) side of me.

She's a member here and I started to organize the meditation with her. We are trying also to practice some energy healing (reiki).

Glad you're much better, Strat.
Appreciate the update and thanks to Lady Valerie for asking.

Fixed broken link & linked it to Omi’s most recent post on the “Sunday Weekly Global Meditation” thread.

Oops, Wind. I'm missed your post. And I'm a slow poster.

Oh ok, yeah that'd be great. Much appreciated.

God damn today was rough. Another hole in my wall im in so much ****ing pain. I tried finding a CH pain scale that someone came up with a while ago but I cant find it cause googles new ****ing bs algorithi ****ed up everything. Also people are censoring 'suicide headaches' and thats really pissing me off i'll pay everything i onw to be locked in the room with the cock sucker that thinks thats a good idea its causing so much more harm than good it needs to be talked about.

if someone can find that pain scale that i'm thinking of it'd be great, it was specific to cluster headaches. I think it started with a 'k' but I'm not sure. ER may happen this weekend nor looking good fml. I'll hang in there because there's no option but ****.

The KIP Scale - drag the chart/image to your desktop.
Source: Created by cluster headache patient, Bob Kipple.

RANKING EVERY TYPE OF HEADACHE BY HOW PAINFUL THEY ARE

From ‘suicide’ headaches to migraines, here’s where each sits on the agony scale:

1) Cluster Headache (aka, Suicide Headache): Cluster headaches tend to strike in groups, hence the name, and they only affect one side of the head. On the side being affected, the eyelid droops, the eye tears, the pupil becomes smaller and the nostril runs. Cluster headaches also affect men three to four times more often than women, according to Loder.

As per the pain, it’s really, really bad. “Cluster headaches are noticeably severe to the point where patients often can’t control themselves during a headache — they may bang their head, pace the room or become violent,” Loder explains. “A long time ago, I wrote an article about medical-legal consequences of cluster headaches, and there are some very interesting stories in the literature: One person held a SWAT team at bay [by holding a hostage], because he wanted medicine for his cluster headache.”

Making matters even worse, the exact cause of cluster headaches is unknown, meaning there’s no cure. Doctors can provide preventative treatments (including inflammation-suppressing medications) in an attempt to subdue attacks, or they can administer fast-acting pain relievers to help you press through the agony.

All of which leads Loder to believe that cluster headaches should sit atop the pain scale.

2) Hemorrhage Headache: Headaches associated with bleeding in the brain are “way up there” on the list, according to Loder. There’s just one problem: “Many of these people don’t live to tell us about them, so it’s hard to rank these kinds of things,” she says. Even still, any headache resulting from bleeding in the brain — Loder specifically points to gunshot wounds and aneurysms as potential causes of this — deserves a top spot on the list.

3) Migraine: Migraines are characterized by pounding headaches (often on one side of the head) that can last for days at a time. Worse yet, that pain is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Women are also three times more likely to experience migraines than men, because hormonal fluctuations — which occur more often in women — can trigger them.

Because migraines are a neurological disorder, if you suffer from migraines, you have a genetic predisposition for your brain cells to misfire (which is the real cause behind the pain associated with migraines). Every migraine sufferer has his or her own set of ‘triggers’ that ignite this hurricane in their brain, but here are a few common triggers: Alcohol, artificial sweeteners, cigarette smoke, hormonal changes, stress, sleep deprivation, dehydration, heat and excessive noise.

All in all, migraines are no fun. Your average over-the-counter pain relievers can be enough to help at least take the sharpest edge from the pain brought on by migraines, but doctors also recommend turning off the lights, applying a hot or cold compress to your head and consuming a small (note: small) amount of caffeine. In tiny amounts, caffeine can help enhance the pain-reducing effects of drugs like Tylenol and Aspirin.

4) Tension-Type Headache: Tension-type headaches are the most common type of headache, and they cause mild to moderate pain that may feel like either a tight band around your head or a weight on top of it. The pain typically lasts for 30 minutes to several days, and these headaches are often triggered by stress. Unlike migraines, tension-type headaches aren’t accompanied by nausea or vomiting, making them the most tolerable (but still painful) headache, according to Loder. Similar to migraines, tension-type headaches can be remedied with a combination of over-the-counter pain relievers and a hot or cold compress.

This isn't because of recent posts from Daozen, but the issues he's brought to the surface have re-triggered some old problems I've had with the world and the forum over the past few years which have never been resolved.
(I've not kept them secret, so I won't go into them again here.)
I need to devote a lot more time to my creative and my healing process, but since I've been a member here for such a long time, going on sabbatical hasn't ever severed the tie sufficiently for me to be able to do that, so I am going to request that I be unsubscribed.
I will surely check in to stay abreast of the important news, but this way, I won't be tempted to spend so much of my time posting it!
I trust others are well able to keep everyone up on the latest and most important issues that we all need to be aware of.
Hugs to the friends I've made here, and best wishes to everyone.

I'll miss you, Natalie.

Thank you for your dedication to inform everyone. I totally understand your decision. Not long ago I took a 5+ week vacation.
Godspeed on your journey. Continued health, creativity, love and wisdom, Dear Sweet Lady.

With heart,
Paula ♡

i see you. I have gone through what you are going through, i know full well the evil f*****g demon that causes a throbbing temple on one side. And i know how the longer it goes preventing sleep the more debilatiting it gets, i have looked myself in that dead weaping eye at 4 in the morning wondering how much more that god dam demon has to offer, vs. how much more i can take. And i have looked myself in the mirror also wondering how can keep my job like this!

i literally feel your pain dear strat. I weep for your pain. At my wits end first time i tried acupuncture treatments, and it worked! Have you tried that?

There is hope. Never forget that even in your worst moment! Never ever give up even when...

[Strat]

God bless you running deer that's it exactly.

Gracy May sorry to hear you have to dance with the devil as well. Will try acupuncture when I get a chance but that probably wont be anytime soon I really cant be leaving the house, I have to be near the o2 tank at all times. I'm having like 5 a day. They usually aren't as bad since I can get them at onset but some (like today and 2 days ago) are just too much.

For those of you PMing me god bless you all. I just dont have the energy to reply atm in detail, nothing personal.

Whilst i totally get avid's sadness, i fully respect onawah's decision (and i know, avid does, too).

Godspeed, Natalie!

[avid]

Don’t give in Natalie - just take a well earned break from these divisive idiots who need to sort themselves out soonest.
I just can’t understand why they keep disrespecting us, and Bill.
So many years of research and wisdom should not be disregarded.

Natalie, from one INFJ to another, I’ve lost count of how many times I wanted to unsubscribe, especially in the last 5-6 months. I’m aware that it’s more about me than out there. Cave time helps to resolve the stuck gunk.

Over the last several years, I see this withdraw pattern quickly resolving itself. I’m committed to life in balance, so I make sure I do the things that help with that daily goal. It includes knowing which battles to walk away from and which to engage. (disclaimer: it's a work in progress)

This post is not to persuade you to change your mind. It’s just a reminder that INFJ’s pick up on others energies and it’s important to separate the two. I know you know this. It's just that sometimes it helps to hear it in another’s voice.

[onawah]

Quite right, Paula. It's the accumulation of gunk that has finally got to me, and I can't put off the de-gunking any longer.
Sitting at my computer too many hours per day makes my "worry wart" happy, but has not contributed to my health, and now that the weather is nice, I can't justify that behavior any longer.
I have faith the conscientious members will remain vigilant, and hopefully some newcomers will join and keep things lively.

I found that I was becoming the battles that I was trying to fight. So now, I create the life: the above, the below and the all around that I signed up for. I'm no Pollyanna; I'm tapping into creator-being that I am. The one they desperately never want us to discover.

See you on the flip side. (Joseph P. Farrell) Where ever that flip side takes you.
