grass or no grass ?
Original Message   Apr 12, 2005 8:27 pm
hi guys...

this is kinda out there so if necessary remove it .

im in the process of cleaning up my property now that its spring here.

i have next to no landscaping as yet.

my driveway is pretty good but thats it,basically i have 4 acres of trees.lots of hardwood and softwood.

i have been removing as much of the dead and hard looking trees and thinning out the rest.

its starting to look kinda park like.

i have lend of a huge wood chipper that i have been putting all the brush and tops into.ill post pics of it in action later

i save the big stuff for firewood.

anyway i have been wondering that once i get done should i plant grass between the trees or just let it grow up into ferns and other woodsy stuff.i plan to try to average 10 or so feet between the trees,this will encourage them to grow tall and allow me room to work around them.

when i started you could hardley walk between them

i should mention that i dont like mowing lawns but i do have a good variety of riders and tractors at work i could use.

and i really hate pushing a mower. 

thanks for any input ...

Hey Windy

Can I see you try that line on a group of women?  I'd like to watch them 'batch your process'.....

Hey Paula,

They are seasonal and I have been tested for allergies.  Funny thing is that the tests showed nothing.  My doctor the ding dong that he is says it's all in my head.  Well duhhhhhhhhh where else would a headache be in a female?  I've tried different meds and they won't do a thing, I've tried cold and that doesn't work either.  So I figure that I have to live through the blinding pain and do some work.  The hardest thing is to get sleep.  The marching band doesn't stop for anything.  But I get to look on the bright side - winter is coming.

No headaches in winter!!!!!!  That's some of last years snow.  It doesn't show the true amount, but only if it was winter now.

I'm gonna try and take it easy today, not work too hard.  Hopefully the band will keep to a mild session.

Sherri, believe it or not but a good massage that works on the knots in your back and lots of water afterwards followed by heat applied to the area where the knots were works wonders on the headache. I am a nurse and can't still figure out why.

Hope you feel better.

Try to keep hydrated Sherri.  Headaches usually start with not much water is present in the body.

Paula baby???

You'll notice the phrase "Magic Fingers" doesn't appear ANYWHERE in my name......if that gives you a hint on your chances for a massage...

Do you know what allergies they tested you for?  Unfortuantely, the allergy tests are not 100 percent reliable....a person can have an allergy and not have it show up on testing.  Have you tried decongestants or antihistamines?  What about a sinus evaluation to see if you have polyps or anything else going on with your sinuses?  Sorry, don't mean to be nosy but the fact that your migraines are seasonal makes me think there has to be SOMETHING that you can take to combat whatever it is about the change of seasons that brings this on.

First off Sherri I am sorry you are not feeling well.

You are describing what is called a "Cluster Headache".  Unfortunately they can be seasonal and they can be stimulated by seasonal allergens despite you having had a negative allergy test.  There are actually many medicines at your disposal that can be tried, some even over the counter, some very inexpensive and relatively safe prescriptions, some, expensive prescriptions when we are talking about the newer ones.  Unfortunately it will be tough to find THE one without some patience on your part (easy for me to say I am not in pain I know, sorry) and co-operation on your Providers part in being willing to work with you to try different medications to find one that works.

Send me an IM if you would like and I will send you a really nice medical reference for you to read that gives you some good info and medication choices at your disposal.  It can be technical in spots so any questions you may have let me know and I will help you out with what it means.  I deal with folks with headaches all the time at work and many of the meds I am extremely familiar with already.

I do want to say that there is no need to suffer if there are treatment regimens that you have not tried and it sounds like there are many.  Once all are tried and you have exhausted say even a neurology consult there is still no need to suffer without some help if you need it.

Finally sleep is important, I know again easy for me to say but do try to get some.  Some over the counter help is already at your disposal, don't be afraid to use it.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.  You try to get yourself feeling better in the meantime.

C

ps.  Your Doctor is correct in that it IS in your head, it is however completely physiological not psychological.  At this point I agree with your "ding dong" assesment of him/her.
