The brain baby kicketh.
Welcome to day ten of the continuing saga of my headache.
I consulted the wisdom of western medicine. They said "Your blood pressure is too high. Double your normal dose. Your pain will go away when your blood pressure is under 120/80. At 120/80 I have to do 20 jumping jacks before I can make any major decisions. But my head still hurts. So I got some pills that will take the pain away, only they are habit forming so I won't take them near "as directed".
My head still hurts so I consulted the wisdom of eastern medicine. The headache was gone in about an hour of acupuncture and the brain baby spent the evening trying to regroup, and pull itself together. I also got some tea that taste like pure bitter garnished with a flower and a sprig of mint. Four doses, and I go back on Thursday. I was awake a whole hour before my headache was. It was nice. She said stress, sent my liver yang out of balance. Yeah. I got stress. Yeah, I got a liver. I guess I've got some yang too. I would think on this more but I'm tired from all the jumping jacks already.
Is it can be naping times now?

Let me know if and when you need to go home - say the word and I'll take you home so that you can nap...

Woody, can you get a CT scan? It may be a vessel that needs immediate attention, esp. if it has been unrelentless for this long. You's got the insurance--USE IT MAN! I don't want anything bad to happen to you.
