I take beta blockers
daily to prevent them. Being on the birth control pill helps. But that week I go off the pill, I usually get 1. This month I had 3 during that week. Brutal because I was sick too.

beta blockers is the next step for my wife, i think.

My neurologist
and I aren’t sure whether they’re helping, or whether it’s the BC pills. I’m supposed to possibly try to go without the beta blockers once I see the neuro in Oct, but I’m nervous. Last year and early this year was like one long, never-ending migraine.
"I’m going to come after you." - Chris Carpenter
does the change of season effect you?
my allergies have been killing me the past week because the leaf’s are falling off the trees. i’ve had headaches & been sneezing none stop.

Weather definitely affects my migraine issues.
And, lucky me, I get sinus and tension headaches pretty much everyday. But yeah, those early and late summer storms that move in quickly usually bring migraine with it.
"I’m going to come after you." - Chris Carpenter
uh, i usually feel better after the storms clear the air
it’s been windy the last two days & that’s not helping me at all. its just blowing everything around. the cooler air helps too, but not when it’s blowing leaf & dust around.

Those sound like sinus headaches related to allergies.
I get those, too. I really should live somewhere else.

yeah, they're not migraines anymore
i actually grew out of them, i used to have them till i was about 15. my Dr said that happens sometimes, but not a lot.

He's now tied for 24th in the NL in steals, and I bet his success rate is top 10

is about his parents giving a nickname (french words) of Homer (four bagger) to a pitcher. David Dewitt is Homer’s given name. I’m still trying to figure out the Leninist to Rolls Royce line though.

it's just another ironic name. i presume that homer doesn't have a brother named
“rolls royce.” dan is just suggesting the parents may have a penchant for ironic or inappropriate names. like naming their slender son “fats” or their quarterback son “interception.”

Here's what I think happened.
Upon further review, I can establish that Yadi had eye-black on to start the game.
By his second PA, the eye black is smudged. I was watching MLB.tv (which I can’t get in HD b/c of a slower connection) via my TV, so this smearing may have looked like a bruise. My comment about his black eye was about an hour into the game.
What I’m trying to say is that I was wrong. Sorry ’bout that!
