Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Chuck,
why don't you just eat ice cream as soon as the hit begins? At least that would taste good - and it actually did abort one attack back in my chronic days.
But just ONE hit ONCE and I cannot recall what flavour I had... 
Best wishes & PF days,
Sanna

Lady Anne Finche, Viscountess Conway 1631-1678 – interesting lady, interesting story
http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/philosophers/conway.html
Anne's headaches increase in frequency and pain requiring her to spend days in her darkened chamber. She attempts all treatments, including coffee and tobacco, as well as the famous Ens veneris of Robert Boyle, prepared by his own hands. Other cures, some very dangerous, such as opium, mercury, and laudenum are also attempted.
1656. April, Anne's excrutiating pain forces her to decide to journey to France to undergo a surgery known as the trepan. (Without anesthetics, the skull is opened to allow pressure to be released). More refuses to allow her to undertake the journey with only her servants in accompaniment, and joins her in her journey. The French surgeons were fearful of opening Anne's skull and opened her jugular arteries instead.

“All pain and torment stimulates the life or spirit existing in everything which suffers. As we see from constant experience and as reason teaches us, this must necessarily happen because through pain and suffering whatever grossness or crassness is contracted by the spirit or body is diminished; and so the imprisoned spirit is set free and becomes more spiritual and, consequently, more active and effective through suffering.” (Principles, Chap VII, s.1).

Yes, Ben--very interesting. I hadn't heard of her before.
"From her teens, Anne Conway suffered from bouts of inexplicable pain, the main symptom of which was an unrelievable headache. These 'fits' grew more intense, more frequent and more prolonged as she grew older. This medical condition was a major shaping factor in her life"
As it has been in the lives of many of us. What struck me particularly was her obvious desire to find meaning within her pain--some purpose or reason for it to exist. Anne Conway, at least, found a reason. At least to her own satisfaction. I never have.
The connection to cabbalistic writings was interesting as well. Remember the movie "Pi"? The probable CH'r who was the subject of the movie was obsessed with finding meaning inherent in the universe, and his pain drove him to seek it. He looked for that meaning by way of cabbalism. Just coincidence, surely, but interesting all the same.
I've often wondered about those who came before us--brothers and sisters unknown and long gone. CH, I think, has probably been around as long as there have been human beings. I think Anne Conway was most likely one of us.
Thanks, Ben.
Best wishes,
George
