I don't like what they've done-just so typical of the real world.. Water down the achievements of the top dogs and have the scroungy dogs get the reward.

 
:coffee2: Good morning everyone. 62 yesterday morning now it's 42 and cold!🥶 Big wind event yesterday afternoon usherd in a cold front. Snow in N. Florida yesterday too, nothing like that here. Tucked in sipping coffee. I feel for you northern folks as anything below 60 is brutal.

Right now I've got 33º, and probably won't see 60º until sometime in April.
No doubt there's many here with it a hell of a lot colder than that.

Confused mate. You said this a week ago.
" I get migraines! Oh! What fun that is! My vision goes,every noise is agonizing"
So magnum shotguns and high powered firearms going off like canons don't fit in the "every noise is agonising" category. Iv fired magnums and they aint quiet mate.
Interesting.

Yeah. If I have a migraine every noise sucks,but if I dont have one there's no issues! Also just because its a magnum doesn't mean in running 3in magnum shells.
Migraines aren't constant! Not everything sets them off!
The fact is most men dont get migraines. Just bad headaches. I took a blow to the head to get mine.
Migraines also have triggers that can set them off. Fresh asphalt the smell will get me,patterns, pressure systems/storms,Green NVG's and other things. Noises dont bother me unless I currently have a migraine otherwise im fine!

So yeah. If I had i migraine I wouldn't shoot anything! Im usually curled up in bed or the bathroom floor. If I dont have one. Then I can shoot all day or do whatever I want.

I shoot enough that magnum, +p ammo,308,ect dont bother me 1 bit. Shotgun rounds alone i shoot 250-500rnds a month in the spring and summer. That doesn't count 9mm,10mm,45acp,308,556,7.62×39.

Lost 4 hours yesterday; getting pressure off neck bones.
Oh there's other bones that have had it but it's more often a neck headache . The rest of the fading bones just aches.

Move wrong one time....it can last a month.

You get one of those neck/headaches. Take 1 ibuprofen, 1 acetaminophen and 1 benadryl. It will give you the relief you need!
Google migraine cocktail.
 
Mornin all.

Peek out the window includes the neighbors car not quite to axel depth in snow.
It will be a shoveling extravaganza day here. Been shoveling and brooming out back for the dogs. Building a snowbank for a wind break on west side on the deck.

Somehow I had earmarked Monday as go get canned dog food for one of the dogs weatherwise. Maybe that was last Monday...
Plow truck is on a quarter tank. Guess if the main road is usable I better buy five gallons in a can. The thought of driving the truck in anymore salt is kind of frightening.

Have lots of venison brats and rice still though!

Wait , I got an award? Yee Haa!
what is it...
 
These help for those who care about thier hearing. Im not a huge fan because it makes getting a proper cheeknweld against the stock impossible. So sometimes I wear the in ear surefire ear plugs.
These in the pic will also hook up to most common military and police comms so they work for hearing protection and communication. I can also hear everything with them on,but when a noise goes over a certain decibel level they cut that noise way down.

Have had migraines my whole life. Grew out of migraine part somewhat and figured out most of the triggers. Still get one time to time but mostly mild sinus headaches. Always envious of people that don't get headaches at all. Now it's more of the tinnitus ringing for me. Have blocked most of it out or the wife's chattering has :laughing7:

Finished the Acetaminophen bottle yesterday.
400mg ibuprofen every 4 hrs.. I've taken 600 for last tooth extraction and it was about right for my lower back to quit trying to rule my life. But that's hard on the stomach and kidneys.

If my neck bones aren't wrestling each other and making everything jam up my sinuses are fine . Kinda,

Was on all kinds of painkillers after being crushed.
Oxy, Neurontin, others.
That I lost part of my cognizance by going into survival mode doesn't surprise me.
But enough meds to make me drool weren't helping me find what was left to think with. And still didn't stop the spasms and pain.
So I got weaned off them all.

Way I see it it is better to have my bones say take a break that to mask the problem.

I lose days as far as productivity. Unearned hangover symptoms. So what?
Except today. Lots of snow to deal with and stay out of the ditch. That will induce a different kind of headache.

Ears are howling. Caffeine ramping up permanent tinnitus. But caffeine is still my drug of choice today. Add noise shock of p.t.s.d. and that's a different headache. I'm fine if I know the noise is going to happen. Having been crushed by surprise is a permanent avoid surprise affair. Which of course can't be done.
Multiple surprises though and jumpy is a mild term..
Yes I can still tolerate going to shoots. I expect to hear shots fired there.

So I have to not go back to trying to mask with drugs. IF I dull my senses it makes it worse trying to have them on high power to detect alerts. L.o.l..

Thats awsome that they've become less frequent!
Most people dont understand the difference between a headache and a migraine. If you're walking,talking and doing your thing...headache.
If you're laying in the bathroom with tears and your head feels like its gonna explode...migraine.

Google migraine cocktail.
If you use Google for your doctoring needs you need to reconsider options.
(Personally I think that just F'D up, that's just my opinion of approaching it)

But each to their own, some get a hang nail and the world stops turning.
Some blue the air when they just duct tape a wound(that should be sewed up), and carry on working. :dontknow:

Seriously if the headache is in the rear part of the head it's neck related (not saying it wouldn't turn into a migraine)
Neck therapy is the easiest way to ease the pain-totally reduce to a heavy feeling within -20 minutes after doing a simple set of maneuvers.

Turn/tilt/up/down 10X in one direction then do 10X in the opposite direction.
Approx. 40 seconds to do a set of 10 (slow and controlled)
The final set is to roll the shoulders forward then back in a 10X set.

In 1994 I rear ended somebody in a winter slide on a street. The result was I totalled my Lincoln Mark 7 off. I hadn't slept in 42 hours and was going home. (actually I was right in front of the condo).
My head went forward then back, and I can still hear all the cracking and snapping in my ears.

The following year I had 300 days of head banging headaches, and I went to therapy 3 times a week.

I've beat the body up where I know that regular maintenance on the neck (everyday sometimes) chiropractor for alignment every 2 weeks keeps me going.

But hitting a chemical cocktail isn't the answer to anything, it's only masking the symptoms that should/can be corrected.

I don't understand then how you can even shoot a 12ga. off while having a puking headache or where you feel like it.
Very confused by what you've said, or saying.
I have had very few of those where claw the eyeballs out because the pain isn't going away, move in the dark, and the gut juices feel like they're flying.

But you say you go shooting a shoulder bouncing 12ga?
Nope I don't see it-and am having a hard time actually believing it.

If I had to shoot anything while having a migraine it will be tears, piss, shit, or a puke.
I'm being straight up honest here, as I have had some pain in my life.
 
Some people definitely have a low pain threshold and cry about every little cut or scrape. I have a pretty good threshold for pain but if something makes me itch I go bonkers. I'll wear long pants and shirt sleeves in hot weather so I don't get sunburned or bug bit.

I only googled the migraine cocktail because I was curious. My doctor said its legit. Now anything else I dont google. If you do whatever is wrong google tells you the worst. I dont like going to the doctor as it is so to let google get me all worked up is a no!
