Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Lots of horns on this funky tune, not sure if they are trumpets. Not soothing but it gets you moving.

Very effective use of horns on that whole album, as I remember. Some of the rare music from that era that has aged well.

Question for the medical guys:

Is it alright to do a pain-reliever tag team against my headache, alternating between ibu 600s and Tylenol to get me through the night. I already had two doses of ibu 600 earlier today, switching to Tylenol 500 before dinner and planning another before bedtime. Killer headache, not migraine, but really bad.

It’s ok. Tylenol works by a different pathway and not harmful to take with nsaids. Hope it’s better!

Do you have any idea what caused it? That sounds like hell.

Recommended, in fact, but limit ibuprofen to no more than 2400 a day and preferably less.

I woke up with a headache this a.m., but not like that one. Heart rate variability was way down too.

Agree. I was taking a bunch of ibuprofen a couple years ago for some back discomfort, and somehow got a partial small bowel obstruction. It's not supposed to cause that, but we don't have another explanation. The experience was NOT pleasant.

Tylenol is 100% safe for everyone as long as you don't exceed the dosage and frequency listed on the bottle. There are precious few medicines one can say that about.

It's some really weird condition I've had for years, usually once or twice a year at most. Usually just s few jabs of pain over an hour or so, and then it's gone for another year or so, never even requiring treatment. This episode here is non stop since Sunday evening and really intense and I've never had to take pain relievers like this before.

Could be cluster headaches. Feels like an ice pick in your eye. Painful as all get-out but they are called clusters because you get a few of them in rapid succession, and then they go away.

p.s. if it's not going away and it really is cluster headaches, you can break the cycle with Velo Vol prednisone. See your doctor if it's not resolving to discuss.
