LOL – bag of potatoes. Yeah, that’s scary – now the doctors don’t need *any* info to hand out a script???
That’s good and interesting you got confirmation about the altitude.
Loved the pics! Those are some funny birds. And I see you're eating your salmon -- good girl!

Oh boy, what a dreadful week! I had a continual headache for 7 days in a row. I got so fed up, I contemplated that we just go back home. After 3 days, I got worried, as it is normal to have a 3 day h/ache but not 7! I tried panadol next day with no effect so then wondered if it was the bed or perhaps the swimming and maybe inflammation so then ibuprofen without effect. Next day I took codeine and actually got worse. Then I was quite despondent and decided the following day to try the panadol and ibuprofen together and finally that night I saw some improvement. The bed still seems to prevent me from sleeping, so I have got a foam thing to put on top to make it a bit softer. See how I go tonight.
Aw, gee, gD. Not fair! Is it sinus? In which case, you might want to try sleeping half-sitting up. Or is your neck in an unsupported position? Are you getting enough fresh air in the camper at night? Is your in-house masseur doing his treatments? :)

Thanks Sheila for your suggstions - you could be right about the air flow - we had everything pretty much shut up bar one little vent because of the cold. I had also tried 3 diffrent pillows. NO, he wasn't doing my neck because my lower back, butt and legs ache so much and that takes long enough! ANyway, I gave them a miss for the night and got him to do my neck. The base of my spine seemed okay, but he foun an extremely sore spot a bit lower down, above shoulder blade on the spine, the bone that was very sore. nOt sure if that is the cause, but put some tiger balm on it.
I did notice I was spitting up again each morning - this happens from time totime and and get straight onto raw garlic and it usually fixes that. Not sure if that is related to headaches. I did eat scones and have a cuppaccino at a take-away, so have noted that.
Duck pond that I used to visit 37 years ago with my children when I went to this town to shop!
Corell that snuggles into you and gives you "cuddles"! He was in the van next to us.
Looks like some ducks made it here from this thread; http://antidepressantwithdrawal.info...7508#post17508
Keep walking. Just keep walking.
Aww, a snugly bird....Well, there are a lot of changed variables, gD. You're doing a lot of good things to problem-solve. Blessings to your hubby for being such a good sport! Massage helps enormously.

Hi again everyone. We are back home again. What a shocker of a trip! I left with a headache, had 5 headaches each week (with 2 good days) and came home with a headache and again next day.
I have had a couple of good days since then so it will be wait and see if this was just my 2 good days or I continue to settle back down and improve in that area.
Who knows, I might have had those headaches even if I was at home, so it was better I was out and about with them I guess, seeing some pretty sights!
I seem to love old tumble down houses - perhaps they remind me of myself! I loved the pretty autumn trees also.
You and I have a lot of taper symptoms in common – intense muscle tightness and headache. You’re taking a lot of good steps, especially your husband’s targeted massage and your relaxation exercises (which you didn’t do on vacation, so that’s a variable.)
Two things I would seriously consider are – a chiropractic adjustment maybe once a month, and do you do stretching? I stretch twice a day, and I am much worse if I skip it.
Nice pics! Thank you!
