2. I could envision a backpack with an enclosed carbon fiber flywheel that uses the
wind energy to spin up... when ready to land some small props could be extended to bring you safely to the ground, sort of like a Wile E Coyote operation.

3. My reading comp is bad this afternoon...
I was expecting a guy jumping in a 'squirrel suit' as in one of those big furry things like mascots wear.

Either that or he had a squirrel in his suit that had its own chute.

Bad Migraine today. Pain meds are helping and I just wanted to check out what was happening today.

6. You've picked the wrong person to mention meds to, but in a good way.

7. Thanks
My Dad and I have looked into this before (We both have it - genetic link back through at least four generations we have records for).

We discussed it with our former Neurologist (great guy, we tried everything at least once), and I don't remember what the outcome was off the top of my head (no pun intended) - I'll have to ask my dad later.
It coiuld be time to retry/relook into it.

Unfortunately everyone today is on the rebound theory. I have had rebound before and they feel different than normal migraines but most docs either have no clue or they are just blind to the fact that it doesn't work on everyone.
As is, I have had a Migraine everyday for the last 10-15 years (it starts to all meld together after five).

Acupuncture - check
Bio-feedback - Check (and still use it)
BoTox - Check
Nerve Block - Check
Nerve Freeze - Check
Hormones - Check
Preventatives - Check
Imitrex and derivatives - In the .007% of population that has very severe reaction to it.
and on.

9. I'm going to look into this - Tusen Takk
Every little bit helps and who knows, it could be the thing that finally does it.

11. Well I might expect good things judging from all the things I've heard from people
who were at their wits end. If you need "scientific" info or "medical info" I recommend this book which was written by 25 medical docs. They witnessed what would normally be referred to as miracles and put it in writing.
