Yeppers, don't they just drive you nuts? I had clinicals today with a woman who lives 3 hours away from school. Two of the girls were talking, one said she didn't know anyone from this town and the lady says, well, you are not missing much! Well, ...

Tweety, just out of curiosity, do you sleep with a fan blowing on you? You said that your HA are sinusy in nature. Without fail, if I sleep with a fan pointed on me, I wake up in the morning with a Horrible headache, and aching sinuses to boot. I...
