You hang in there! Curl up all you want, but get those thougths out of your head.

I've been shadowing the last 2 days too. Just fight the damn beast! Whack him with caffeine, oxygen and whatever else works for you. I've been hitting him with melatonin, too. And watch what you eat! No alcohol, nuts, aspartame, citrics for me!

Many things will work to abort shadows. Coffee, Red Bull, exercise (for some people), sex (for some), ice or heat. Have you thought of maybe taking a triptan or using 02?
