You'd think by now that someone would have come up with some sort of relief.

The shower option did occur to me except that diarrhoea was on the agenda as well and the thought of *that* sludging around my ankles didn't appeal! You're right too in that the earlier migraine was clearly a warning that Mr Migraine was merely cracking his knuckles ready for the Big One. Shame I only realised that afterwards!<BR/><BR/>Miles, Miles, MILES. Now my queasiness has come back!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Blakkat, I reckon I'll do that next time.

My mother has done this for years. She also uses suppositories for just such occasions when other, more traditionally taken medications, won't stay down. <BR/><BR/>I've had one or two episodes like you've described and it truly is an earthly manisfestation of hell. I'm glad you're on the other side of it.<BR/><BR/>Word Verication - foach.

I'...Kath, I'm so terribly sorry to be reading this. I'm a sufferer myself, although I do get some warning symptoms, and rarely get to the levels of pain that you have. Only a couple of times have I had the vomiting, and that's because I've taken the medication on an empty stomach. Now I sit in the darkest corner I can find and force down at least half a sandwich, followed by the two tablets. Then I crawl into bed and sleep for around six hours. Usually that's it for me, sometimes there's been a residual heavy head feeling which can kick off another episode, so I've learned to continue the medication on those days. <BR/>About the volume of food eaten and expelled, this is becuase said food is now accompanied by several ounces (feels like pints, doesn't it?) of gastric fluids. This leads me to think that perhaps you could do your (mostly fluid) expelling in the shower? Cleanup would be a matter of turning on the taps....<BR/>Is it possible that your apprentice session is your early warning system? I seem to recall you've mentioned something similar. If this is the case you could try continuing the medication you take then for a few days and see if that keeps the major event locked into a stadium far, far away from you. Similar to me continuing my medication to avoid a kickback event. <BR/>I very much hope you are feeling much better now and able to joke and laugh with Love Chunks and Sapphire again.<BR/>P.S. It's possible the salmon was tainted even within it's useby date, such things happen, when foods are not kept refrigerated. I myself have seen shoppers carting fridge items all over the store in their trolleys, then changing their minds and returning the items to the fridge section. sometimes they just chuck them on the nearest shelf....Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
