Sorry you had to go through that today.  I have been told that by a dr before and I wonder with some of the things we go through in life how that is possible  ::) but all we can do is try.  I am sure glad to hear that you are feeling better though.   :rose:

I don't have stress myself, but I have seen some free ebooks about it. Have you read any?

I hear ya and can sympathize since I too suffer with migraines as well as sinus problems.  Seems like some days nothing works.  Hope you get to feeling better.

Sorry you had a bad day.  Waiting in the ER didn't help either.  I hope you are feeling better now.

Hope you feel better. The emergency room sucks when you have to wait a long time.  I have been there many times with family.
The 8 hour trips were the worst.

Excuse me, oldbuddy. No stress?  ???

Doesn't that come naturally with being alive and all?  :-\

I have a friend that doesn't handle stress well.  With all she has going on I don't know that I'd handle it well myself.  I do know from experience that when I eat healthier, exercise and get involved at Church... most of the stress that comes my way is tolerated easier.

Dealing with pain and stress is what I do.  The doctor wants me to talk to someone to help with my anxiety issues and stress but i have not gone.  I have chronic pain, Fibromyalga (I don't know how to spell it and neither does my spell check.
and the anxiety is horrible but I don't know what to do.  I know I am tired of take all these medications I have to take.

Rather than rely on medical professionals, in a situation like that, I'd self prescribe.  B complex helps us deal with stress and calcium is a natural pain reliever and tranquilizer.  If your body can tolerate dairy, you can get B vitamins and calcium from milk.  You might also consider taking a mega dose in a situation like what you've described.

I would take a multivitamin, 10 tablets of B complex and 10 tablets of Caltrate plus D.  The calcium with vitamin D will also help you sleep it off.  Your body will thank you and you'll save yourself a trip to the ER.

 :heart:
Have a great day!

I would say eating better would help.  I have had six orthopedic surgeries that left me with pain all over.  A drastic change in my diet...and every one of those pains is gone!!!

You can fully get rid of stress. Stress is a part of everyone's every day life. When I get really stressed out sometime I will write about it. I feel like maybe if I get it out of my head and on to the paper it can help.
