Im here...I stayed home today, I have been fighting this terrible sinus headache today....my eyes hurt so bad, adivl just isn't cutting it.
I posted the following analysis on another thread -- FYI:
CAVEATS:
** Polls in February are notoriously UNRELIABLE predicters of voter behavior in November!
** At this point in the election cycle, many pollsters (and their media purveyors/enablers) are using sampling/timing techniques to SHAPE public opinion rather than reflect it! [If you have any doubts, just note the incredible variance among the polls detailed below!!]
COMPARATIVES:
[Pay particular attention to ZOGBY'S POLL. Why? Because it is the only poll that analyzes the differences between voters in the Red states and voters in the Blue states. Toward this end, ZOGBY'S RESULTS ARE VERY ENCOURAGING; after all, the President holds a healthy lead in the Red states and is statistically tied with Kerry in the Blue states -- We couldn't ask for better polling results at this point in the election cycle!]

http://www.news.uconn.edu/rel04017.htm [WARNING: I believe that FoxNews is set to release poll results similar to Gallup's. AGAIN, at this point in the election cycle, ZOGBY seems to have the most relevant polling sample and results!!!!]
Have you tried taking 3 at a time? I know that's above the recommended dose, but I do it anyway if I have a bad migraine.
I figure it can't be any worse than the strong stuff some people get from their docs.
Anyway, the extra pill makes a big difference.
I'm sorry you're feeling bad . . . have you tried Exedrin for Migranes? It contains aspirin, tylenol (I can never remember the generic name) and caffeine. Works for me as good as my prescriptions.
Feel better!
