RW> He would get these terrible headaches that would incapacitate him. I
RW> suffered with them while in my 20s, but they went away later. I remember
RW> the worst one I had...I could feel it coming and began to head for home.
 
When I lived in New Orleans, I'd get sinus headaches, sometimes on the
order of once a week.  They were so bad, that when I arrived home from
work, I'd have to use a nasal spray to unclog the passages, take some sinus
medication (I forgot the name), load up the ice bag and go straight to bed.
 If I tried to eat anything, I'd get sicker.  So, whenever I got those
attacks I had to do the above in order to go to work the next day.  It was
very painful and some people tell me they were a lot like migraines.
 
RW> I didn't get very far when it hit, full force. It hurt so bad that
RW> my vision was blacked out and I was blinded by the pain. I had to pull
RW> my car over to the curb and park for a while. When it subsided, I headed
RW> for home again. Made it and fell into bed after taking three aspirin. It
RW> was gone when I woke up the next day. After that I started to wear
RW> sunglasses when I went outside in daylight.
 
My experience was much the same as yours.  I had a throbbing headache on
the way home from work and I couldn't see much out of one eye.  I think it
was diesel fumes that caused this because after I moved to Houma in 1979,
those attacks went away.  It was like giving me a million dollars.
 
RW> Using that method, mine should be 152...it was 118/66 yesterday.
 
That seems low to me, but I'm not your doctor.
 
RW> Fortunately, all of us got my maternal grandmother's genes, no balding.
RW> Grandfathers were bald, on both sides of the family. My dad, sister and I
RW> got the light colored hair while my brother got the black hair from the
RW> maternal grandma...
 
I had two sons and two daughters.  One of the sons has blond hair and one
of my daughters has blonde hair.  The other two had dark hair from my
mother's side of the family.  I have dark hair also, but like most men my
age I am getting thin on top and thick in the middle.
