[A Work in Progress]

Thanks MyOwn, I sweated up a storm yesterday working on cleaning and preparing my mother's house to get her home from the nursing home... slept somewhat better last night, and feel more clear this morning. I think you are right... I just needed some time to let my body/brain do some adjusting...

Hey, Nurse, sounds as if you are in quite a bit of distress. If you are around this morning, I'd suggest you go over and post something on the "need help now" section (it's called something like that). You will get a ton of good advice. And for starters... my own suggestion would be twofold: if it's partly a headache that is making you feel like you MUST have vodka, then take some advil or whatever; and also recognize that, of course, it isn't REALLY the headache, it is mostly your brain that is throwing a tantrum, and you want to adopt the stance of an adult working with a child... in large part, do soothing things and know that it will pass. It AWAYS does, if you allow it to.

best wishes,
