" > Your signature gave me a real chuckle. Brief, but says it all. As a new Enbrel user (3 months), I feel the same way. I take my shots on Mon/Thurs, and the first thing I want to do is give myself that shot. Never thought I would look forward to giving myself an injection!! Also, I don't care what comes up about Enbrel--I will never go back to before Enbrel, only forward with the next new discovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 When I get floaters that usually means I'll have a head ache soon. So I find if I take a aspirin right away and lay my head down for a few minutes that takes care of everything. My doc said its a sign of a migraine.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 > When I get floaters that usually means I'll have a head ache soon. > > Elaine-NJ Are you sure those are " floaters " or are you seeing spots? When I think of a floater, I think of that annoying lil buildup that floats around in your eye. When I get a miagraine, I see spots (more like blank spaces in the air) about 20-30 minutes before the pain hits. I do the samething you do, I take some pain meds, make sure I've got some caffeine in me and lay down for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 I think you're right they are more like spots white flashing lights. I thought that what they were talking about. Well I learned something new that caffeine helps.
