Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Hi Terry, Gosh, I hope those pesky headaches go away. And I hear what you're saying about the size of the group. When I get too behind I have to skim and sometimes delete on the basis of the heading or when I see a great thread that is already getting tons of great input. But I have to cross my fingers and hope I'm not missing anything I could be helping with. I'm still trying for the lotto so I can quit my day (night) job. I'm nowhere as computer savvy as the rest of the group, but maybe more care to subject headings would help. I know using OT has helped a lot, and also entering my name in the subject heading when it's lab related helps me. We greatly value your alt background and your experiences with ATDs and recipes so maybe entering more precise subject headings would help until the computer gurus here come up with a better solution. Have to ask, though--have you tried feverfew at all? or vitamin B2 or magnesium? For me, estrogen helped rather mysteriously, and when I quit taking it the headaches never came back. Hope you find some comfort soon, Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2002 Report Share Posted November 16, 2002 Hi Terry, You spoke my words exactly. I haven't been posting much either and the posts get overwhelming for me. The sad thing is I miss posting with everyone, but just don't have the time anymore. When I get behind I have to just delete and I don't like doing that. I feel for you on the migraines since I've lived with them since I was a child and know about the cluster ones. And understand about the menopause hormone roller coaster since I've been riding the roller coaster for a little over a year now. Some days I feel like I take more vitamin and herbs than I eat food. LOL! I've always enjoyed your posts and alt treatment. Here is hoping you get some relief from your headaches. Debbie R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 Hi Terry I hope you get on top of this headache very soon. I can't imagine having one for so long and not go absolutely loopy. I agree that the posts are overwhelming. I haven't been able to do more than skim and join in occasionally. Between my two babies (who are both doing really well and are beautiful) and the house I haven't much spare time. I'm not sure if splitting is answer. I would be afraid that the group wouldn't be the same. It has grown so much since I joined in 2000 and this is a great thing. Because while I'm busy and your feeling poorly others are here to keep it actively and relevant. If we had sub groups I'm think it may become elitist and slow at times and we could miss someone's experience that may be important to us. I'm sure that everyone appreciates that personal circumstances sometimes prevents us from being really involved in the everyday postings at times. It does take a bit of time to skim through the posts and to answer the occasional one, but for me this helps me still feel connected. It is really important to have accurate subject lines so that everyone can join the lines that interest them. Apart from this I don't know what else would help. Anyway - must go - duty calls!!!
