Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 DOES ANYONE HAVE A BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBETHE HEAD PAIN BETTER THAN MINE? > (FEELS LIKE SOMEONE PUT AN ELASTIC BAND AROUND MY NECK AND CUT OFF ALL CICULATION) Hi , That's a pretty good description. This is what I used to say: Imagine that you are crossing the street and you get hit square in the head by the mirror of a Mack truck that was going 80 mph in a 30 mph zone. That's NOT how my headaches feel. Now, imagine that it's 3 days later and the experts at the hospital have rebuilt your skull using wires, screws and pins .. but they were out of pain medication. That's NOT how it feels either. Finally, imagine that you were released from the hospital on day 3 and are on your way to get some pain medications at the nearest pharmacy and that same Mack Truck (doing 80 mph in a 30 mph zone) hits you AGAIN.. THAT'S what my headaches feel like.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 No access to a computer? What about the Public Library--anyone can use the computers there. As for the main question, she should contact the pharmecutical companies directly.
