As one migraine came on, I looked at my watch to see if it was lunch time & discovered that I couldn't see the watch, much less read the time.

That one was a cracker.

Fortunately, after an hour or so in a darkened room, it wore off.

I've suffered with migraine since I was a child. A combination of tiredness, computers, alchohol etc can trigger it now but I can spot it early.

Did have a new type of migraine about 6 months ago, which to be honest scared the tulip out of me. Got in the car and was driving, all of a sudden I lost forward version. I could see out of the corners of my eyes but in the middle was a constant swirl the sort you can apply to pictures to blank out faces. I then couldn't judge distance and almost hit the car in front.

I drove another minute and then decided I couldn't actually see, so pulled over and walked the rest of the way home.

I had no headache whatsoever. It lasted for six hours and I thought I was going blind. Went and saw the doctor and as I got there is subsided.

Turns out you can have en eye migraine(silent migraine). That one I really dont recommend!!!

Migrane's are one of those things like flu. Soooo many people complain about having flu so they take a day off or have a migrane so take a day off. I have had a full blown attack of both and they do not last a day!!! They are truely awful. Anyone that has 'flu' and has a day off has their card marked in my book. There are headaches and there are day colds that are no where near a migrane/flu.

Makes me laugh when someonehas a day off with migrane and then sends some mails midday. With a proper migrane a lit laptop screen is just sheer hell.

Give her some credit that her hubby actually called in though. I couldn't see the bloody keybad to dial when I had mine.

I've only ever had one Migraine attack and I thought I was dying.

It was quite a strange sensation, I couldn't see what I was looking at, just my peripheral vision.

It turns out that because my (CRT)monitor was set at 75hz and the fllourescent lights were at 50hz that a "beat" was being detected by my brain - which it did not like at all, no sirree Bob.

How the heck can you do it stood up??

Too much risk of project slippage if you ask me.

Oh, and if the lady is a lot shorter - this does not bear thinking about!!!!

Oh dear. Shall we draw you a picture?

Your lack of imagination doesn't bode well for your new lady friend.

You sound too worried about things going wrong, relax what the worst that could happen.

It's not brain surgery, no one is going to die. Most of the time.

I was told you couldn't get caught if you did it standing up, see.

Getting laid has changed you.

It bloody changed you too!

[MaryPoppins]

As long as she is poorly all weekend, I will feel a lot happier

You can probably tell I despise her.

Getting laid has changed you.

After school?

Unless you're her manager what's the problem? Despise is a very strong word to use when referring to a colleague.

If you are her manager then have a word with HR - it should never be personal.
