TheSaint Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 22 hours ago, adsii1970 said: I have been diagnosed with chronic hemiplegic migraines. When I do something, I do it well... It's reached the point in life where it is seriously easier to count my pain-free days than the days affected by migraines. Yes, I am still fully employed but there are triggers I cannot avoid and as I get older, I just find it harder to cope with. Perfumes, aftershaves, and colognes, certain cleaning products and air fresheners, and these new LED lights in all the classrooms and lecture halls do not help. I'm tired all the time, I fight depression caused by the duration of the migraines (on average, about four days in duration), and discovered when I hit 45 I could actually have two migraines - one on the left and one on the right side of the brain at the same time. I have anywhere from seven to ten migraines a month. I am also allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen which means I cannot take nearly 3/4 of currently prescribed migraine medications. Sorry if I became a downer in this conversation. If you haven't tried it yet, see if your doc will try Topiramate. When I first started having these I was getting them about every other month or so, which wasn't a bother. But after I had my surgery in 2014, I started having them once or twice a week (I blame the brain freeze), which was a bit more than I was prepared for, especially then. So my doc put me on Topiramate, and over the last six years it has really reduced the frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have the severest migraines (the ones where I look and sound like a stroke victim) as much, but I still have them. And often.

kerbiloid Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) "Underestimate for a wrong reason"? Upd. Alice thinks that Bob is weak because he wears green trousers, But the color of trousers doesn't matter. His arm is broken. So, actually she should think that he is weak as he couldn't lift 50 kg with that arm. But actually he can, once his arm gets healthy.

kerbiloid Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Not actually a thought, but a doubt/a question. At least since M$ bad habits, In programming they call "business logic", "business object", "document" various things which have no relation to moneymaking or occupations, but describe the data structure and program logic, and its isolated parts. Regardless of the programming, Is the word "business" money-colored, or it is an general abstract word applicable to any "thing, its purpose, and its behavior" in whole? Say, if a stone is grey, hard, can get wet or dry, is it its "business"? And what can be a proper word for "an isolated set of variables with decribed behavior" rather than "document" or "object"?

kerbiloid Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 in fighting movies they can kick with boots, beat with fists, and sometimes strike with (fore)head. But what's strange, in the gym they just kick and beat the punch bag with fists, but I never saw somebody standing next to the punch bag and repeatedly striking it with head.

probe137 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I actually found this on the internet but it would probably classify as a shower thought: If James Bond is the most well-known spy, wouldn't that make him the worst spy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably James Bond is considerably less well-known in the context of the films, or you'd be right: he wouldn't be a very useful secret agent.
