today was not so bright, the Headaches are getting very intense to the point of nearly passing out, feeling sick if something goes wrong its always seen to be a fri or bank holiday.

I was on the point of a 999 call, what should one do in this circumstance.if it comes to passing out,  will I regain consciousness, being on my own .?

    Think if u need to ring 999 don't bother it's a Bank Hol, just do it.

    Sound very much like the  migraines I  used to get years ago Have u any meds u can take to help?

    Sending u a big hug x

    Btw, this was actually from buttercup01 (don't ask!!)

    Maybe u should invest in one of those alarms that calls someone?. I'd hate to think of u being passed out n on your own. U could b there ages.

    I'll have to look more into it but I think u wear them as s pendant or like a watch n they ring thru to some central place to alert  there's.a problem.

     So you'd have to press it  before u  passed out... ah slight  hitch there buttercup...

    Reckon there's also something that alerts if there's no movement. Must look into further when more awake.Sorry!
