Stress tried to kill me

[Cammy]

Hi dreamers: Thank you about the kratom suggestion. Unfortunately we had a mega bad reaction to it in that it caused an epic migraine - what I call an 11 out of 10 migraine (meaning maximum pain with the added bonus of vomiting). Not being one to give up, and to make sure it wasn't just a coincidence, we tried it a second time with the same result, so I guess it's a no-go for us. I still appreciate your help, and it's too bad that we are ultra sensitive to this product in the migraine department.

We are armed with some useful meds that we can take when things get out of control. I'm going to try to get back to my dentist appointment, but this time my doctor has given me some pre-dental appointment meds to get me through the procedure without flaring my BP into the stratosphere.

Again, thank you for trying to help - it was very much appreciated. As is typical of me, a lot of things that can help me, including psychotropic meds, have a nasty effect on me in terms of migraines. I am very sensitive to a lot of different migraine triggers including such things as Aspartame and sulphides that are often used to keep salad bars fresh. One thing that drives me nuts is that most of the under the tongue meds are sweetened with Aspartame, and hence are unuseable for me. My other huge trigger is MSG - this is a big one. I've been fortunate in finding a Chinese food restaurant that does not use any MSG at all and for the first time in decades I get to enjoy this food again. The last time I got a large dose of MSG was two decades ago, and I was sick for a week and in the hospital for two days thanks to being poisoned by the stuff. One of those things I guess.
