Everything you said sounds just awful and so sorry, Mist, that you have to suffer like you do . Glad it's going to rain there, hope it will be relieving your pain . Hopefully your wife won't have to get the car battery . Many hugsWeather here finally broke and it looks like a week, or so of rain ahead. Glad of it though. Being a human barometer is no fun when it won't storm but keeps building toward it. When it does that it has a twofold effect on me. First, it makes me walk around feeling as though my skull will explode, or implode. Second, I need to avoid using the C-pap as it tries water boarding me. My wife hates hearing me laugh while gurgling in my sleep. Tell her I can't help it, I just naturally default to "I'm f-ing surviving and going to laugh at you for even thinking about torturing me" mode. She usually then threatens to go get the car battery, I shut up. *scared face* "Laugh then, furball!"
