I've pretty much given up on the prescription meds because the side effects are sooo horrible for me. By the time the meds wear off I'm just so grateful to have lived through the experience that I no longer care if I'm in pain or not! I suppose that's a twisted sort of placebo effect, but honestly not the kind I'm looking for! And don't even get me started on the rebound headaches! So compared to "death by immetrex and/or it's cousins", I'm quite happy to accept whatever genuine placebo effect I can get from the natural stuff! :-)<br /><br />Anyhow, I hope you're feeling better soon.EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-32702555434456859422016-07-28T15:22:42.953-04:002016-07-28T15:22:42.953-04:00Ah, I can get all nerdy sciency on you. :) See w...Ah, I can get all nerdy sciency on you. :) See what happens when you are married to a fisheries biologist? It depends a lot not only on air temperatures, but on wind and waves.

My work is good now, but before this they were working on the cooling system for about a month. Then it was not so comfortable there either.<br /><br />Weeding has been nonexistent here also. One thing about weeds though--they'll still be there waiting for us when the weather cools a little.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-2736422232680460332016-07-28T07:14:28.250-04:002016-07-28T07:14:28.250-04:00I was not familiar with gopher tortoises, so I loo...I was not familiar with gopher tortoises, so I looked them up. Very interesting. We don't have them around here, but you're right, the holes look like they could be made by them.<br /><br />Good luck with the blanket flowers. I don't know how they'll do in your climate, but here they do well in heat. The flowers are very pretty, but the the leaves sometimes shrivel up. They might last all year for you, but here they are annuals. However, they reseed themselves fairly easily.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-77047782738669068822016-07-28T02:18:00.448-04:002016-07-28T02:18:00.448-04:00Working in an air-conditioned workplace each day g...Working in an air-conditioned workplace each day got me spoiled.

But at least I have medicine to take. I used to watch my father stay in a dark bedroom for days only to come out when he was sick. They didn't have immetrex and the likes back in his day.<br /><br />A trip to the beach with water warm enough to go into sounds like the perfect day. How long before the water cools down again?Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-32154580528347707342016-07-27T19:07:32.314-04:002016-07-27T19:07:32.314-04:00:( Sorry about your migraine.

Sounds awful. <br /><br />I took the kids to the beach today--about the only place we could stand to be outside in these temps. The benefit to the hot weather is that Lake Michigan is finally a decent temperature (it was in the 50s for a looong time).<br /><br />Pretty pictures, as always!Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-27549187615808578852016-07-27T17:32:14.828-04:002016-07-27T17:32:14.828-04:00I take prescription meds that make it mostly bette...I take prescription meds that make it mostly better for a while, but it's always there and then flairs again. So I'm functioning okay, but about half speed and kind of cranky.<br /><br />I have not taken your exact combo of supplements, but I did take a subset of them every day for several months for prevention and I saw no apparent change.

My all natural crazy cat lady remedy is to take the following supplements: magnesium, feverfew, evening primrose oil, mixed tocopherol vitamin E, and curcumin (or turmeric). I wash it all down with a hefty dose of green tea - iced green tea in this weather! It usually doesn't make it go entirely away, but it makes it bearable.<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better soon!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-74892511531587472812016-07-27T11:55:30.223-04:002016-07-27T11:55:30.223-04:00Lovely pictures.
