Have 'em check your blood pressure. When I was diagnosed with migraines, the doctor prescribed me with a low-dose blood pressure medication in spite of the fact that my BP is and always has been very, very low.

Oh and also, check your magnesium levels. Friend of mine had severe migraines for a long time, went to the doctor, doc told her to take magnesium supplements....boom...helped her a lot.
Heh.....listen to us Roth Army Armchair Doctors, lol.Comment

Just thought I'd pop in here and let everyone know what's been going on. I had some more terrible headaches Sunday night and had to be taken to the emergency room. To make a long story short, after a cat scan and an mri I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, which is excess fluid on the brain. I had surgery Wed morning to install something call a shunt, a drain tube that goes from the back of my skull to my stomach and drains all of the excess fluid from my brain. I'm currently recovering with family, and I haven't had any more headaches. Thanks everybody for the support and well wishes!Comment

Like I said it was a good thing you got in to the doctor when you did. Out of the normal headaches that start at the back of the head are usually a sign of something more serious. Hopefully draining off the fluid will do the trick. Good thing you caught it early. When the fluid gets infected you have real troubles.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I liked it better than the shark fin soup. They harvest these bird nests out of these cliffs made by a specific species of bird. They make the nests with their saliva and whatever they scrounge up. They make the soup by boiling the bird's nest and straining it a bunch of times. I did not know this at the time. I thought it was just the name of the soup. Fortunately it was considered a delicasy and only served at special occasions or at expensive dinners. Most the time we just went out for dim sum. But them you got grass jello but that's a whole other story.
I still have my old school uniform from those days. It looks just like something Angus Young would wear. LOL! I lost my virginity in Hong Kong too. In a part of the island named Happy Valley of all places. LOL! Maybe bird's net soup is an afrodisiac.Last edited by Nitro Express; 03-17-2012, 08:19 PM.No!
