* Bofra has fallen asleep with his face burried in the piece of chocolate cake he just grabbed...

Wow sorry I got here late but HURRAY for minque and all the other people who started this here fine establishment of a shop, is there any cake left? oh and I need a large extra thick coffee as I haven't been getting sleep while touring this fine town for days now....wow it was scary over in the back alleys behind the great houses planning building, they just about got me before I ran outta there. I hope thats the worst this town has...if so I think I might settle down here. Cake?

* Bofra lookes up and hands jchamber a bit of a newly baked carrot-cake with a big smile.

Hmm, speaking of coffee, I've been drinking coffee since i was 5 years old (yes, seriously! At the start it was 90% milk and 10% coffee, but still coffee) and I've just now realized that it does wonders if you need to stay awake! Coffee is practically a part of my life and I never thought of the effects since it's practically a custom to me. However I usually drink it in the morning, but this day a couple of months ago I thought "Hey, isn't coffee supposed to make you stay awake easier?" (I had to finish a paper late in the night) so I put the coffee machine to work.

And geez, it's true, it really makes your sleepness dissapear in an instance! Quite handy!

Oh, and I don't believe in all that stuff about coffee being unhealthy and all, anyway if it is I'll notice eventually

Coffee does that because it contains a llot of caffeine, which is what keeps you awake. And apparently that's why it's bad for you, you develop a dependence on caffeine or something

I know that pretty well but thanks for the remainder, it's just caffeine works different on different people, and to me it doesn't affect me much, more that helping me stay awake. However, even though I've been drinking for almost my entire life it doesn't make me automatically an addict, I'm just fine not drinking coffe a day or a week if I must, I don't feel any different. However, as it's a part of my daily habits and I like it I don't see why I should stop, it's not like smoking anyway.

I've become more "immune" to caffeine rather than addict actually, when people say they can't sleep if they drink coffee late at night I, on the other hand, have no problem sleeping, it's just that it prevents me from falling asleep unwillingly .

I can do wel with caffeine, it takes quite a bit to move me into a spaz.. and I have to be with friends and then I just start bouncing on the walls.... which is fun with friends and a waky-talky and an endless stream of songs... good times, goooood times

Ugh, splitting migrane today, and I only had two periods to go until I was through the day. Dear god it hurt. I fell asleep for a while while trying to stay for light, but then I couldn't get back to sleep for like, two hours of pain.

*Grabs two bowls of ice cream, eating one and balancing the other on my head to cool off*

* Bofra gives Red a hug and wishes he gets better.

I'm probably one of those few lucky persons in the world who almost never get headache, I practically never get sick either. However the times I've been sick.... Oh God that was terrible... 42 degrees of feber to tell you the least. I actually hallucinated once, thought I saw rabbits jumping about my room.

Poor you Red, i know how you feel, i have migrane as well, but havnt had anything lately.

*poors red, a large cup of coffe, and give him a big hug, as well*

I sometimes get incredibly horrible headaches too.

I usually end up taking two paracetamol. If I don't take any, it's usually just getting worse slowely until a point where I can't stand the pain anymore. That other day, a sunday night, I had one that got really bad, so I decided to take two paracetamol but to my horror I discovered I didn't have any left. I checked which pharmacies were on emergency duty and was ready to call a taxi (the closest open one was pretty far away), but just as I sat down to look up the number I had another idea of where to check, a last ditch attempt. I was in luck and found the very very last two pills and took them. I spent the next half-hour under the shower to pass the time until the pain went away - that always helps me with headaches, having ho water run over my head.

I just talked to my sister on the phone and she told me she has a headache right now, so I told her to take a pill (she has a headache like once or twice a month), but she said she'd rather not unless it went really bad. Don't get that. It's not like aspirin or paracetamol are really strong medication, and really, taking one or two once or twice a month really can't be bad for you....?

Thanks for the hugs everyone, they helped my head along with about three pills and some ice cream.

I'm usually the same way, increadibly healthy. When I get my like, twice a year migrane, its terrible. My right eye wigs out and starts to lose vision, the pain is localized above my right eye, I get numb to the point of not being able to use my limbs, my brain seems to lack every day intelligence and I become clumbsy and slow with slight hallucinations.

I only breifly read your post here but I justed wanted to say that I don't take medicine unless I have some life threatening problem. Even if its just asprin

But I NEVER get sick... I only fake sick. Who knows?

Managed to find myself back to these boards again... Have migrane myself, doesn't come that often but my first encounter was something I doubt I will ever forget. Had to go home from school, sat down on the bed and I really couldn't get rid of the pain and I was about to get some water when I suddently just threw up two bloody times on my way to the kitchen... But damn it can hurt like hell.

As I'm talking a little about pain for the moment, lol we played rugby in the gym today. As a pretty fit person it was very nice to scorer and stuff, but everyone just jumps on you and bites and does what ever means to throw you in the ground. Got two nasty wounds right now, only flesh wounds but they hurt as hell

But it's a great sport, really nice to release some anger on others

I don't get headaches, sick, or hurt and on rare severe occasions I heal really fast and have off the charts pain tolerance, which is kinda bad b/c I don't always know when I am hurt, like I had to have ear sugery on my right ear that cost me half my hearing in that ear, all because I didn't realize that my Tube had fallen out and that my ear should have been in excrusiating pain and I felt nothing. Last April I was hit by a car at 50 m.p.h. while I was riding my bike I got up and walked away and was moving normal within a week or two (not limping). Still don't have all the muscles fully back to where they were though....slowed my running speed and my ability to run up walls has greatly been deminished.

Hey Fuzzy you're back, i missed you.

it seems that a lotof people here have migrane, but well, it's nothing we can do about it.

'coffe and cakes all round'

I'm not a doctor or anything, but I don't see why a couple of aspirins or paracetamol once in a while would be hurtful. However, I you have the habit to take an aspirin everytime you got a slight bit of pain your natural defencesystem would eventually retire and you would become sick a lot more often. It's the same if you never let yourself get a bit sick, like never eating something were it's date of expirement(sp?) has passed (this happenes a lot here in Sweden), the defencesystem will eventually say "why the heck am I doing here? This dude never give us any work" and retire. This, from personal experience.



You can/could actually run up walls?

Yeah, its probably the terrible weather most of North America is having. Us humans seem to have alot of sensitivity towards the weather system. I only really have migranes during strange weather, like these dragging winters and hot snaps.

I'll take some Green Tea with a nice plate of Ika Sushi. Mmm, Squid.

Dont tempt me Red, that sounded terribly tasing....mmmmm.

But about the strange weather, that may be right, as I dont have migrane when it's nice and shiny, a little windy or rainy. When it's storms, lightning, or just terribly hot, my head gets full of pain.

*takes a sip of green tea as well*

You serious? Ugh, I just don't understand the idea of eating raw fish... Tasted sushi once, almost had to spit it out, man, what's the deal?

I wonder if I'd survive in Japan, was actually considering living in Japan for a semester or a year, but now I've shortened the plan to just a month or so. Seems like a really wierd but interesting country.

What, sushi is good enough that, it was the tea that sounded terribly tasting, sorry for not making that clear. But I like sushi as well, but of course it is a matter of taste.

*cheers everyone, tea, coffee and soda is on me*
