> Dear Vince,

> Your prayers are more than welcome, and much appreciated. I have had the worst week of ups and downs, that I'm surprised I'm still around. Mybe your prayers had something to do with it!
> I have just returned from a 6 hour visit to the ER for a severe headache I've had for 3 days straight. The docs insisted it had no relation to my bipolar disorder. Personally, I think it is caused by depression and the stress of trying to pretend that I'm normal for the rest of the world. I am getting realy tired of that, but I'm hanging on, even if it is by a very thin thread.
> The docs thought I may have meningitis because this was, and still is the worst headache I have ever experienced. They did a spinal tap, but had to stick the needle in EIGHT times before they could actually get any fluid! It was insane, but they kept me on morphine the whole time, and lidocane to numb the area. They said I'll feel like hell tomorrow, being sore and everything. They prescribed Ultram, do you know anything about this drug? WebMD wasn't really helpful on this one. Either way, knowing you are thinking of me makes my day a thousand times better! You'll be in my prayers tonight!

> love, AutumnAutumn, Can you get Xanix? It's not prescribed for headache but if you have a muscle tention headache (from stress), I promise that it will take care of your headache very quickly. Valium would be even better.
I know about Ultram but not alot. My brother uses it for back pain, but it never helped me very much with headaches. It's kind of an opoid without the addiction potential, I think.
Love to you and please take care,
Vince
