Princess Poofy's Queendom

I thought I could cut down the med I have been taking, so I skipped one dose of the painkiller for last night.

Headache Complex

The past weekend, we went over to KL for a quick stint of food and shopping...

• Food - cool and cheap, generally. Madam Kwan is a rip-off; 18 is a fab chain
• Shopping - FOS is a great place for cool, causal stuff. Only pity was there wasn't any good work wear, which frankly, was what we are missing and out-growing...
• Weather - murky and rainy like here
• People - a lot more friendlier and nicer than expected! 
• Public tpt system - horrible for the sheer different operators, cards and non-connectivity of it all
• KFC benchmark - we eat KFC all over the world to compare it.. sadly, it isn't as good... 
• Airline - Jetstar has way decent seats and legroom vs Tiger...

Big rain plus small pain still. It's that kind of day i want to curl up and sleep. Waiting for the pain killers and relaxant to kick in. Hopefully after a nap, I'll be better and can do some housework. Laundry is piling and i do want to do a fried rice. We'll see.

Type or Cause

Characteristics*

Diagnostic Tests

Cluster

The pain is severe and piercing. It affects one side of the head and is
focused around the eye. The pain lasts 30 minutes to about 1 hour. People
with cluster headaches cannot lie down, frequently pace, and sometimes bang
their heads. Headaches occur in clusters, separated by periods when no
headaches occur. They are usually not worsened by light, sounds, or smells
and are not accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
On the same side as the pain, the nose runs, the eye tears, the eye lid
droops, and the area below the eye may swell.

Tests are the same as those for tension-type headaches.
Giant cell (temporal) arteritis
A throbbing pain is felt on one side of the head at the temple. The scalp
hurts when the hair is combed, and chewing hurts. The arteries in the
temples may be enlarged.
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is determined, and a biopsy of the
temporal artery is done.

Aches and pains may occur, particularly in the shoulders, thighs, and hips.
Vision may be lost.

I think the headache is really killing me! It started ard 8 last night and
kinda subsided a little when I sleep.
But I cannot turn at all, cuz any slight movements will trigger a massive
throbbing again...

And now it is back with a vengence when I wake up.... Rrrawr

This is so suitable for work... especially when it is apparent, my boss is
actually part of the same family as Dilbert's boss (

I can try to do this -->

Fully Accept the Situation,
Work to Change the Situation, or
Separate Yourself From It.

But for now...

Bad Day - Alvin & the Chipmunks

此时此刻,老娘我在这个会议里还真得很闷。好像从来没有用华文写过 Vox. 既然这是个特长的会议,我就可以闲话加长了! 看到桌上的 Qoo 水瓶,就知道我还是很有恒心地在灌水、灌蒲洱茶。 真是个慢长的下午...选一个新系统还真不容易。对这份 work 是又爱又恨, 大多数的人和事都还不错,就是有些害群之马让大家不快乐。Oh yea, 昨晚看电视时,才知道要播<幸福的抉择>了! AEN

My ILs just came back from china, with quite some bricks of premium pu-er black tea. So here's some intensive brewing of tea to last the week. It is supposedly good for digestion and weight loss. ;)
