Crazy Q, but are the cookies soft and chewy or more of a hard ginger snappy type cookie?

 

[Jodi]

Monolith - No they havn't gone away yet. It's been almost 2 weeks now

Jill - I'm glad you like them and you must make big cookies because I got 2 dozen out of them

Semi - They are soft cookies.

Jodi - any chance you're having a really bad allergy season? Whatever the cause...I hope the headaches stop already. Hang in there chica.

 

[Jodi]

I wish it was just that but it's not

Hey... there's an idea. Maybe you should down some anti-histamines, see if it does anything.

 

[senimoni]

Hmm that sounds really good! Can't wait to try!!

 

[Jodi]

I already tried with Benadryl. I've tried everything

 

[Rocco32]

Are you sleeping alright?

 

[Monolith]

Here's a random, left field idea... have you changed any settings on your monitor recently? Or maybe got a new one? As a techie, youre probably familiar with this... but if you set the refresh rate too low, it can give you headaches.

 

[senimoni]

Which Benadryl are you using, I find the allergy and sinus(green pills) work great while the other variations do not help at all. I get headaches all the time.

Edit - For me, most medications work best if I can catch the headache before it is full blown, so it may not work now.

 

[Jodi]

I've been sleeping like a rock lately and no I haven't touched the refresh rate on any of my monitors. Thank guys for trying to help. I truly appreciate it

Its the caffiene. Stop denying it. Of course they will get worse. That is why its called withdrawal.

So why not just take even more caffeine?

I think I know why you keep having headaches, you can't go banging your head into walls over little snacks like that.

Do you chew gum? If not, do you clench your teeth when under stress? Could be TMJ.

 

[Jodi]

Today sucked at the gym. My squats didn't go well and I don't know why but energy was low. I think the headaches are taking a toll.

Then I was done my last set of DB CG and I sat up from the bench and someone was doing DB curls right in front of me and I they brought the DB right down on my right wrist. Right on my fucking metal plate along my ulna bone. My wrist is swollen and along my ulna where I had my surgery already has a huge bruise on it. I was so freaking mad that I yelled at the moron to never stand in front of anyone like that. What an IDIOT! I mean was he thinking anyway. I could barely do the VBar pressdowns and I had to lower the weight considerable. I'm icing it now and at least tomorrow is an off day it this won't restrict me on Thursday.

As usual each set is 1-2 reps shy of failure

3 BB Squats: 195x7, 185x7, 185x7
3 Leg Ext: 135x9, 135x7, 130x6
3 Incline Bench: 105x9, 105x6, 100x7
3 Cable Crossovers: 30x9, 35x8, 35x6
3 Military DB Shoulder Press: 35x9, 35x8, 35x7
3 DB CG Press: 40x9, 40x8, 40x7
3 VBar Pressdown: 60x5, 50x4, 40x9

I don't chew gum often. My stress is at an all time low too. TMJ - I had that when I was younger and had it fixed, its no longer an issue for me. Thanks though I do need to see a doctor but I can't just yet.

 

[Cate]

Im stinky

 

[PreMier]

What a total ass! I would have yelled to. People are so fucking inconsiderate... Dont even get me started

I think you did pretty good on squats. You havent done them in a long time, and things take time. You will get there

I hope your headaches get better soon

 

[Jodi]

OMG - I was so furious. I seriously could have told him where he could shove that dumbell but I didn't want to cause a scene more than it was. As it is a few guys came running over to make sure I was alright and they hollered at the guy as well. It just makes me so mad because I've had this metal plate for 5 years and I've never hurt myself and I'm always careful. Then comes some moron and hits it with at 45lb db. The plate is attached to my bone and OMG................the pain

I falling apart.

 

[PreMier]

I cant even imagine... Is it from a serious fracture? How did you break it?

My grandfather rolled an ATV and broke his ankle severly. He has a metal plate and 6 screws in there. He says it bothers him big time when its cold out.

 

[senimoni]

What is a DB CG?

 

[PreMier]

DB= DumBell CG=Close Grip

Well believe it or not I was a tomboy when I was younger (go figure ) and I loved climbing trees. Well, I missed a branch one time and fell 20ft and broke both my wrists at the same time. My left wrist was a clean break and healed quickly. On my right wrist I broke the growth plate on the radius so my right arm grew slower than my left. Anyway, the ulna bone in my right wrist grew at its normal speed so when I was done growing my ulna bone was up in my hand and it forced my wrist to always bend inwards causing me problems and arthritis. So, 5 years ago they opened it up and cut out a chunk of the ulna bone and pieced it back together with 7 screws and a metal plate called the rayhack device (nice name ) I have a nice clean scar because it was done by laser but you can feel the plate and screws along the bone and its still somewhat tender. I lost some of the nerve endings and most of the muscle that was there is now non-existant. I was in a cast for 6 months and then 3 months of therapy. I've been careful ever since and I've never injured it. Good thing I'm left handed

 

[Monolith]

Eh, ive had a few people do that to me, too. No impacts, but i'll be doing flat DB presses for example... and some crackhead will drag a bench over almost right on top of mine and start trying to do lateral raises or some shit. It really makes you wonder WTF is wrong with these people.

Well, on the bright side, maybe the pain in your wrist will mask the headaches?
