[OpNet] Pain Killers


Singularity

Recommended Posts

My apologies for using the forum like this but I am at my wits end. Earlier today, my head started to hurt like it never has before and it is really starting to frustrate me. Adrenocilin and mox have not worked for me in almost six years and every baseline home remedy and old wives' tales have not done the trick either. I even took a nap and it was still there when I woke up.

So, does anyone have a solution for a headache aside drugs, tea, or sleep? Anything?

Or if he didn't want to call in the quacks he could always use a telepath to change the pain perception to pleasure.

Do you know any telepaths?

Have a box of kleenex handy if you're experiencing migraine level pain. As pleasure it'll probably translate to orgasm or intense brotherly love i.e. being stoned. Hard to say without knowing you better. Not that I want to think about you until after you don't need the kleenex box.

Sorry, Bandwidth, but I do not think Neil can fix it. My body can regenerate just about everything his powers can heal.

Not a bad idea, Doctor, considering that my better half is a telepath. I will have to ask Regan when I get home.

Does anyone else have ideas in case things do not work out?

Yes of course and I had absolutely no way of knowing that despite the fifteen thousand fan-sites dedicated to you and your significant other. Mostly her, but she has all the ingredients for inspiring that sort of hormonally insipid fascination through no fault of her own.

While you're asking her to get you off you might consider having her take a peek for damage or a psychosomatic cause.

I see our little world on the OpNet is busy tonight. You've drawn a small crowd Singularity.

I guess if you've tried the Nova stuff, maybe the human stuff might work for you as well. We are all made from the same stock.

Maybe an MRI will show something, though I'm pretty sure somebody around these parts could give you their own little Quantum powered version of it.

Doctor Crow, telepathicly changing the receptors only masks the reality that something is happening. Besides, I've seen some pretty incapacitating orgasms.

Franklin, sorry for the delay. I've got some officious crap to deal with and haven't had the time to follow my chosen profession. I think the problem may be caused by a radical shift in your quantum signature ... but an incident lasting as long as what you are describing is beyond anything I've experienced before.

I can try to help. PM me the where and when if you want to meet?

Medication rarely works on novas. The treatment of each nova is almost always one of a kind. What works for me most likely wouldn't work for you. I have used many of interesting devices on myself to relieve pain. From all across the light wave length. I found that good pulse of radio can cure more built pressure in the skull. It feels odd and requires a great deal of training. I think I am the only one with a working machine of this nature. I could use it on you, to see if it works.

Oh, I am posting here because I am waiting for an old friend to get off work.

Lots of people know how, Doc. It doesn't take much in the way of smarts, expertise, or money to gain access to the Opnet these days and post away. Funny thing is, it also doesn't take much in the way of compassion or people skills to be nice to one another.

Now, if you have a problem with my very preliminary diagnosis, please let me know. I am always open to new ways of approaching problems. I figure that we all win when somebody walks away as healthy, if not healthier, than before they felt compelled to came asking for help.

What is it that you feel "lots of people know how to do"?

How does that make you "feel"?

How many self help books do you read in a day?

Even if I had the complete lack of self esteemed necessary to desire discussing a preliminary diagnosis with yet another A.M.A. certified quack, you'd first have to have a preliminary diagnosis. You might not consider this "nice", it doesn't conform to the prevailing feel-goodism approach to witch doctoring, but I don't equivocate possessing the enthusiasm a 10 year old has for the newest toy as being a preliminary diagnosis. He could have contacted a witch doctor privately to get a hole drilled in his head to "release the evil spirits" but chose not to.

I can understand the reluctance.

Your bluntness aside, Doctor Crow, I appreciate your advice. And that you took the time to actually consider who was asking the question and what you know about their background.

I am rather busy at the moment, Neil, but maybe we can set something up in about a week or so. I am not certain if this is a quantum signature issue; I have experienced those before and it has never lasted this long or in such a fashion.

A MRI would be a good idea once I see Neil, Bandwidth, however I do not look forward to being a guinea pig. As far as I know, it is just a headache. Also, I do not know how Neil would be able to inject the contrast dye, needles do not work on me.

My apologies everyone, I forgot to add a symptom: the headache does go away when I am dorm'ed down.

I am able to push past the pain easily enough to do things normally, Amped, but I really have not needed to exert myself beyond flying (and, as someone new to that whole airborne experience, I have to say it is a rather cool feeling). Perhaps if Neil's skills do not do the trick I could try chasing you to see if the endorphins work. It will be just like that scene in Rocky... however we would need an old man to tell me I will "eat lightning and crap thunder!"

The machine sounds like it might have potential. Signy, but I am rather adverse to being a test subject, as I mentioned. I had many MRIs done on me when I was with DeVries and Utopia, so that is one thing, but a new hunk of technology is something else.

This isn't bluntness. Bluntness would be pointing out that most doctors are parasites whose assitance to their victims is an accidental side effects of their own selfish needs, coupled with the necessity of keeping the malpractice premiums at a managable level.

Or that sending PMs with questions, when the originating account is too full to accept the answers, is a waste of time.

Best of luck. You're going to need it.

I was referring to your comments specifically directed at myself, not your conversation with Neil or your assessment of the medical profession. The two of you can have at each other all you want, I am just trying to figure out how to stop this damn headache.

Whatever else did you think I would waste my time refering to?

Is your playmate gone for the day to realms from which she cannot be summoned back? Heed the advice given and deal with the pain, thence gaining a respite from the distraction to deal with the situation. It really couldn't be simpler. It would be interesting were she sensitive to quantum flucuations. That might be a telling experience.

You know, in reading this I just realized I don't think I've had a single moment of ill health since I erupted. How neat is that? No headaches, no waking up feeling plain icky, nothing. Day after day of pure health.

Wow.

Regan caught up with me and tried out your idea about an hour ago, Doctor: it worked but it is most definitely not a permanent solution.

Meditation normally does the trick, Long, but unfortunately not this time.

And Slattern, I thought you knew an orgasm was the best way to cure a headache. wink

Access the Opnet and spout off on whatever is pissing them off at the moment.

A bit sick of the arrogance and blanket assumptions.

Depends on the day. While most have little or no relevance to me, once in a while I come across some gem that's actually useful. I read something that actually helped my build a well once.

Care to clue the rest of us into the bitterness you possess to either me, or the medical tradition as a whole?
The preliminary diagnosis was that something was wrong in how his quantum interfaced with his flesh (the node), thus causing headaches. This is also known as "taint sickness", but since I don't consider taint a disease, or even a disorder, I approach it differently.

Reluctance? Whatever man. Someone asked for some medical advice and I'm trying to help him.

Franklin, it general I would like to see you sooner than later. No special facilities are necessary. I hope I can do what I can with just myself and what I can carry with me.

My Opnet message account developed a temporary problem which has since been solved. Thanks for point it out to me.

If I seem somewhat critical of the medical profession as a whole it is only that I find them to be the illigitimate penny-snatching gutter snipes of cadaver fondling grave robbers, who dispense concoctions of which they know little to treat conditions of which they know less in human being of whom they know nothing at all. Bless their greedy little hearts.

You, unfocused and callow though you might be, are merely another acolyte to the power structure. Stroke your holy tome of Gray's Anatomy lovingly. Whisper your hosannas of Hippocratic Oath in which ever version you've chosen to represent the "true oath". Remain true to the vision of Triton and the AMA as enforced by their Utopian lackeys defending the status quo. In the end its all just mortal fingers desperately trying to stop the leaks in the codemned dam of ignorance and avarice.

Still, I am so happy you've managed to actualize your "feelings" in a positive respectful manner. Its really a shame you completely failed to grasp the explanation I've already given you. Perhaps I'll run across someone closer to your mental abilities that explain it to you in simpler terms.

Meditation. Clearing the mind and lowering your stress is one of the best ways.

Also, I've found that combining this with pastoral virtual landscapes makes the experience rather enjoyable.

No but I can see where you might find it easiest to categorize the discussion in that manner. Generally most novas are like the average person you'd meet on the street; barely literate and incapable of critical thought not expressly intended to divine whats to be eaten later.

What I find fascinating is the near obsession with what was little more than a frat party gotten out of hand. The death toll was far higher in Macedonia.

Near obsession?

Fuck you. I erupted in Ibiza and lost everything, even my home, because of that 'frat party'.

Only a refugee?

Well Ms Refugee, ask yourself why that out of control frat party in Ibiza really happened.

If you make it that far you get to select one of three possible choices regarding your future. Return to the insipid mediocrity most refer to as "life", feed the obsession regarding something you don't understand, or get out there and wrap your hands around it's throat. If you're ever ready to make the real choice give me a call. No black dusters or overcoats. No accolades. No secret handshakes. It can be worth it if you're strong enough.

Most aren't.

Alaneda welcome to hell, the best of intentions are paved along all our roads. I think I saw you that day, I could be wrong. I have been wrong when recalling things from my dances.

But back to my main point you are in a world of children with super powers. You are in a game with no winner. I can only give you these words when you lose, pray to do so with grace.

Exile, I'm sorry that you lost so much during that night then lost your home in the aftermath. I remember your eatery from my last visit to the island. Cacophany was always talking about it and she took me there.

If there is anything I can do, drop me a line. Good luck and I wish you the best in this New Life.

Franklin: Sorry it took me so long to respond to this.

Unfortunately, I'd have to agree with Neil's initial assessment. Given that the pain ceases when you dorm, it is almost certainly a reaction between your quantum and your body, or perhaps between your node and your body.

You might want to go ahead and get that MRI. If your node has expanded enough to be near the portion of your brain that processes pain, quantum bleed off could be stimulating it directly, thus causing low levels of continuous pain. Otherwise, I'd guess at some form of chemical imbalance. Knowing how tough you are, getting a chemical fix to bypass your immune system would require quite a bit of personal tayloring.

If Neil can't do anything for you, feel free to drop by my lab. I'll see if there's something I can do to help.

Thanks, Jager, but the headache's gone.

In fact, thank you everyone for your advice, I appreciate it. I wish the headache would've gone away in a much easier fashion, and I know Regan would've preferred a different method (sorry, love shocked ), but everything worked out for the best.
