Definately praying for you g/f.

Looks like I have a new ailment to deal with. I woke up this morning with something wrong with my eyesight. Both eyes are affected. For 2 hours since I woke up, they're acting like I looked at a light bulb for a few seconds then looked away (you know what I'm talking about)... it's not going away though.
I can see, but only peripherally... this is kinda scary...

Yikes not good!  Praying it is only temporary.

Seems to be getting a bit better... Lisa wants me to have a glaucoma test, but #1 no one related by blood in my fam has ever had glaucoma #2 I am petrified to have that test - I actually am a wimp when it comes to an object coming at my eye to touch it, I am prone to panic attack when they do that test. I know it's all in the mind, but I can't help it - And #3 the symptoms are not classic of glaucoma, but rather migraine. I'm on day 4 of my migraine, but in the last 10 years, my migraines only affect my right eye - making it blurry.. never the left eye. This is affecting both eyes.
Not sure how much more I can take... I ain't got JOB's patience...

Yes, that does sound a bit like migraine symptoms.  And just because it hasn't happened to your left eye before doesn't mean that it can't affect it.  Do you take any special medication for your migraines?

Imitrex works well. Sometimes the bad ones need a second tablet a while later, but for the most part Imitrex helps a lot. This week I've had to take 1 or 2 a day for 4 days in a row.... starts to sap you of your energy.

Hmm, you might want to check with your primary care and see if you've gotten used to Imitrex and need to try something different.

Dirt roads and tight corners...


Yesterday was my last day at work!

We get samples in the Dr office I work in, and I've tried Maxalt, Zomig, Relpax... none helped much if at all. Imitrex always worked best. I can't take Fioricet as my MVP heart condition cannot handle caffeine.
When I was a teen, I use to take plain Tylenol over the counter - course the migraines have gotten 1000 times worse since then.
In my 20s, Tylenol with codeine helped, but wrecked my stomach. Norco or Percocet don't even touch migraines at all.
There are others on the market I could look into though, thanks for the recommend !

You know what happens when you ignore an Ice Bucket Challenge nomination?  Absolutely nothing.

Sitting cold and wet in a muddy fieldlistening to For King and Country. This is fun? 😛 looking forward to Skillet tomorrow evening.

Hey guys.

Message to tall people: just because you can see over my head, it does not mean I am not in front of you. Watch where you are walking!!

Currently enjoying Rhett Walker Band. Not bad, but would like to hear more rockers.

Just because I'm shorter than you, doesn't mean I am an armrest.

Two hours to skillet. Currently up: Colton Dixon.  Not too bad.

Ooh Skillet. I was so confused when I first heard of them because of their name.

Couldn't get to stage, but 20 ft from screen.

Feet stuck in mud. Bass knocking my knees.

When I'm in a place where the music is loud. The bass makes me feel like I'm going to explode. Literally. I feel uncomfortable because the inside of me feels like it's vibrating with the bass. :S Actually, I don't know how I am with rock because I haven't heard rock really loudly before. I have heard rap and similar stuff play really loud and I felt uncomfortable physically. I had to leave the room.

Four high school kids were camping on the festival grounds are in the hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning.  Not cool.

The guys from Skillet visited them before leaving town. Very cool!

I've a pastor friend who's at the LifeLight festival.

Missing random hero

Looking forward to red!

That is actually a physiological truth.  I don't remember all the details, but it has something to do with the low frequencies and the space the wave needs to complete the cycle.  That's also the reason we hear the bass from other cars on the road or coming from outside and not the treble.

Just got soaked by a 15 minute shower. Now we are cold and wet again.

That's interesting.
