stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:17:20 PM)
found out something interesting last night about a medication i am on
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:17:31 PM)
what's that?
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:17:45 PM)
they put me on a medicine for headaches, yet i noticed my headaches since then have been getting more frequent and severe
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:18:02 PM)
that's no good
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:18:09 PM)
did you tell your doc?
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:18:23 PM)
the medicine is highly addictive and causes rebound headaches, so when you taper off of it, you get a headache, not from the health problem, but the medication withdrawl
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:18:31 PM)
oh i will next month when i see him
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:18:55 PM)
so you fix one problem and cause another
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:19:17 PM)
is it for migraine headaches?
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:19:22 PM)
yeah basically, i'm sticking to my lortab if at all possible
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:19:33 PM)
it's fioricet, which is for a variety of headaches
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:19:58 PM)
i'm very lucky in that i hardly ever have a headache
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:20:11 PM)
i was that way until 2 months ago
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:20:28 PM)
do you know why you are getting them now?
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:21:00 PM)
could be sinuses, or tension, or migraines, have to have a ct scan when our van is modified so i can get around again
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:21:29 PM)
hope you don't have to wait too long for that
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:21:37 PM)

stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:23:42 PM)
tedious and a right pain. lol
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:23:56 PM)
cabulance is one way to be transported to medical or hospital appts.
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:24:33 PM)
i dunno, my doc gave me the name of the company, but can't find it in the online yellow pages
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:24:38 PM)
so maybe it went out of business
hen (Oct 12, 2008 6:25:35 PM)

beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:27:59 PM)

stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:28:25 PM)
wouldn't be able to afford that
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:28:44 PM)

hen (Oct 12, 2008 6:42:21 PM)

stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:43:09 PM)
my mom was trying so hard not to laugh. was going to change the sheets today but it's still right in the middle of a cold front, so we'll do it tomorrow when it's warmer
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:43:19 PM)

hen (Oct 12, 2008 6:43:19 PM)
ha ha ha
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:43:45 PM)
my kitty has a bad habit of scratching on things to get my attention
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:43:56 PM)
she'll pee in front of me when she's mad, she knows i can't get to her to stop it
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:44:42 PM)
if i wouldn't hurt her i'd throw something at her when she does that
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:45:22 PM)
i wonder if you vet would have any ideas on what to do to get her to stop
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:45:56 PM)
not sure, she doesn't do it very often, but i just wanted to beat her last night. lol
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:46:04 PM)
carpet is one thing, my bed is another
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:46:24 PM)

beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:48:38 PM)
but loved to bark
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:48:46 PM)
lol
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:49:12 PM)
it doesn't take much for those dogs to get fat
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:49:18 PM)
even when he knew you he barked when you arrived and barked when you left
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:49:41 PM)
you got that right, he was 18lbs
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:50:19 PM)
how much does your doggie weigh?
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:51:08 PM)
well we have 4, the chihuahua/pomeranian is about 14 pounds, then the other 3 vary between 4 and 6 pounds
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:52:42 PM)
can you carry the light ones?
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:53:36 PM)
i can't pick them up off the ground, but the 4 pounder (my little pee'er) i can manage if she is on my lap in the chair or something
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:53:48 PM)
the others are not sure enough of the chair to do that yet
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:54:12 PM)
my kitty that is 7 lbs sits on my lap
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:54:36 PM)
we used to have a chihuahua/rat terrier dog that did that, he loved to go for a ride
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 6:54:45 PM)
she's sitting with me right now
stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 6:55:18 PM)

stephh1 (Oct 12, 2008 7:02:35 PM)
they are really good about not getting in the way, think they are smart enough to realize that i have a big heavy chair and if they didn't move they would be hurting. lol
beckdildal (Oct 12, 2008 7:03:27 PM)
