Didn't quite work here, thought of "Denmark", then "Emu", after that it went to rat sh*t......

Ok, that one nearly went over my head, but I gather your saying it does the same thing as the "chemical B" inhibitor but from another direction. But it still sounds like if you take it after the migraine hits your trying to fight an uphill battle, ie the blood vessels are already too large and your trying to reduce them rather than taking them before the migraine hits to control the cells at a normal balanced state.

Thats because Naratriptan is another "chemical B" inhibitor (see my earlier post), if you take it after the migraine has hit its about as useful as tits on fish.

Its the fwd end of the top of the NA intake manifold, no idea what would cause that tho.

Not good fella. I had an episode a few years ago where the migraine would keep me awake and the lack of rest was perpetuating the migraine, (nearly 3 weeks), in an act of desperation the missus called the doctor out and he gave me an injection to put me to sleep to break the viscious circle. I don't recall the name of the drug but its normally used as a first aid treatment for heart attack victims apparently, that worked, slept like a baby for three days and woke up fine and dandy, he wouldn't let me have the stuff on presciption tho.. LOL! I think you need to go see the "quack" fella.

Its been a couple of days, how are you feeling now Jake? Over it I Hope.

Just came back (Friday morning)!!!! Third time for Florida!!! Took time out to visit Titanmotorsports but unfortunately couldn't see there drag car as it was in the paint shop, saw loads of other Supra's there tho and a 900BHP (apparently) MR2, got a nice little "Shop tour", every Supra in there (bar one) was in for a big single conversion, two wide-bodies, one TRD and one Top Secret, there was an NA-T conversion going on as well but that was also in the paint shop so didn't get to see that either. Sorry I forgot to take the camera so no pics I'm afraid.

All I know is the Aftermath headache of a migraine makes me feel as thick as margarine!! LOL!

Its also been said that everyone will suffer at least one migraine in their lifetime.

Warning long post: Seems there are a few sufferers on here, myself included, I've been prescribed "Immigram" which is a tablet the size of an elephant’s suppository but thankfully is taken orally. I'm gonna post a description of the 'mechanics' of a migraine (for those that are interested) as explained to me by my Doctor. (CAVEAT; I'm no Doctor, I'm only repeating what was said to me.) There are 3 most common types of headache; 1) Dehydration (hangover typically) 2) Neurological (disorder of the nervous system usually due to over activity, 90% of headaches are these.) 3) Physiological (physical damage to the brain) Migraine falls into category 3 and I'll explain why (and this is the long part); There are 2 chemicals that are produced by glands with-in the brain that help to regulate the size of the brain cells and their ability to hold oxygen liberated from the blood, we'll call them chemicals A and B, A shrinks the cells and B enlarges them. Normally these chemicals are balanced. Next we need to talk about the migraine inceptor, more commonly known as the trigger. The trigger is any signal sent through the nervous system to the brain usually coming from 1 of the 6 senses (but not always), hence why it is common to hear of chocolate or flashing lights as "being the trigger". When the trigger signal is sent (from whatever source) it cause's the brain to create more chemical A and hence the brain cells to shrink, as they shrink the cells lose the ability to liberate oxygen from the blood and this is the point that you start to get the "Aura's" (tunnel vision, noises, colour blindness, etc) because the brain is starting to shut down (this usually lasts between 20 mins to a couple of hours). It’s interesting to note that at this point you still don't have a migraine yet, it gets worse... The brain is still savvy enough (obviously, else you wouldn't be conscious) to realise that if this goes on the brain will dye, however, it isn't savvy enough to calculate exactly how much of chemical B to create to bring the cells back into balance, so it makes too much of B. Its at this point that the migraine hits, in addition to your brain cells going from a slowly shrinking condition to an accelerated growing condition (shock enough) the brain will grow in size by about 2% roughly, which doesn't sound a lot but is enough to make the brain rub on the rough inside of your skull, this is why the majority of sufferers have to be laying down while enduring the migraine so as to minimise the movement of the head. At this point I will say that the brain damage that occurs at this point is very mild and the brain does recover completely. Some medications (like mine) are designed to inhibit the production of chemical B (not stop it completely) but the results of this can be just as difficult to live with as the side effects are scary, in my case it also causes my heart to slow dramatically and to pulse harder like its trying to jump out of my chest, sometimes I've just decided to live with the migraine than take the medicine. I've been getting migraines since I was 13 years old (20 years) and my "trigger" has never been found after quite a few years looking, some people find there trigger and control them that way others just have to suffer. Another point for discussion, migraines are apparently non-hereditary, however my mother gets migraines and my grandmother used to get migraines, my brother also gets them, anybody else got a family history? Finally, as said above, I am not a doctor I'm only repeating how it was explained to me, If anybody has any different explanation post it up as the only way any of us sufferers are gonna be able to get on top of it is to get this kind of info discussed.

Getting laid off sucks! I hope things work out for you fella, you could take it as an opportunity to try some other line of work, sometimes a change renews your enthusiasm.

I might be wrong, but it would have to be an imported bumper as any bumper for a UK car would have holes cut in it for the "Dildo's" wouldn't it?

The bourbon is a biscuit that just seems to have an air of superiority in my thinking, a "super-buscuit" you might say. But there is much to said of the humble Rich-Tea, sure, it won't stand up to anything more than a 3 second dunking, but you have to root for an under-dog sometimes too.

Bourbon!

Shouldn't that be 'only car bra on the board'?

Sounds like fun. I might even win something, best beard on the board?

Nah! His nose doesn't light up.

Thats really gonna put the Hipocratic Oath to the test...

Its only paint fellas! Its not like they've stuck a Veilside (coffee table) rear spoiler on it..... Those stripes may even be vinyl which is easy to take off. He wouldn't be the first person to stick vinyl strips on, would he SimonB?

Agreed.
