Got through the wood burning and liquid manure phases, air is fresh and clean, but still getting 2-3 CH's each night and here it's June already, while in pain, I think of the Kips scale and concluded that the hell with numbers, wouldn't make much difference if the headache were 10% worse or less as this is a 0-10 scale, a linear progression, don't have to tell you that they are miserable, and you can't do anything else until they pass. I have heard of viruses that linger on for months, I don't like the terms beast, shadow, devil, or whatever, this is not the middle ages, my nose is constantly sore and if it flares up, I am dead, you know the routine. Now for my question, if there is a low grade virus, are there any kind of medications to knock it out? My understanding is that there are not medications of this type, only anti-bacterial, but we are told that medicine is making rapid advances, predisone is the last thing I would want to take if I still have this virus as it would be prolonged and screw pyschotropic drugs, maybe the word beast is not so bad after all, CHer's still get mid-evil treatment.
