The Retirement Thread

[Lee_M]

My wife is a Cluster Headache sufferer which are seriously nasty. They are not called suicide headaches for nothing. Similar-ish to a migraine but a migraine with attitude amped fully up.

Eased off since post menopause though and touch wood I hope they stay away.

GP's know naff all about them and you need a neurologist to diagnose properly.

Has this been on your radar?

Yep, I get migraines and cluster headaches as well!

I'm an expert on the various forms of headaches, had them ever since I got concussion aged 11 when a girl fell on my head in PE 😳

Fortunately I have Penne with leek, mushroom and cream cheese sauce on my cooker.........otherwise I'd be banging on your door.

They look excellent! 👌

Ninja. Mine has 2 drawers which I recommend.

Did the neurologist ever pinpoint a cause?

Never spoke to one. Never got past the Doctor.

GP cannot diagnose cluster headaches - needs neuro scans to evaluate T5 brain receptors to diagnose. It's a serious neuro issue.

Sounds like GP has just had a stab in the dark at a diagnoses based on minimal knowledge.

Glad you are no longer suffering though.

Morning. Been awake since around 3am and eventually just got up. Just not sleepy and very muggy too. There’s a fine drizzle that’s nearly off so I’ll just head out now I think.

 

[Dave7]

In my defence your honour......I thought the clock showed 05.15 when it was actually 04.15.
By the time I realised, I was sat with a coffee.
Not sure what to do now.

You can come out a walk with me.

Just turned music off and now settling down to sleep.

Coooeee. Been awake for ages. Listened to the rain while it lasted all of 5 mins. Quite humid here with lots of hazy mist over the hills.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning from a bright and breezy Coventry, I've been awake since half four.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Morning all

Off to Minehead on the train at 10.30 to pick up MrsD's car.
It'll be nice to be chauffeured around for a change.
She's taking me out for lunch tomorrow.

Morning all fellow retirees.
It's a cloudy start to the day here, but fain is not forecast today. It is quite humid though.
Dog walking, grass cutting and general domestic duties are the order of the day.
I'll get a bimble out on the bike later as I need to go to the local shops for some essentials.
