K Wave Rider Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 My sister developed migranes in her mid-30's, suffered with them for a few years and then eliminated them completely with small, daily doses of melatonin at bedtime. Keeping headaches at bay without drugs <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've tried melatonin...It knocks me out for a while, and then I wake up in the middle of the night, with a sort of chemical, feeling like I was drugged effect, and have trouble getting back to sleep. Maybe I took to much? 200mcg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metamucil Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Kwave, Try taking a daily dose of omega 3 fish oil. It will help to relieve inflamation, which could help with the headaches. Lots of other benefits too. Try two grams a day. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I ve been reading quite a bit lately about Fish Oil and it's anti-inflammatory properties, and the links between inflammation and adult onset diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Anybody know where to get some high quality stuff? And Metamucil, if you stop by, any thoughts on this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> KW, Many of the suggestions above are harmless, but hard evidence is lacking. There are many types of headache. Migraine is a special category, with several subcategories. If you really want to get to the bottom of this, it is best to have a proper medical check (Neurologist) and get an accurate diagnosis. Only then can various 'natural' and perhaps pharmaceutical avenues be explored (the latter being more important as the frequency and debility of migraine go up), if indicated. If these are not new, it is one thing. If new onset or of a different nature, more reason to get a good checkup and follow more orthodox advice. Sorry, no quick fixes, but infrequent attacks mostly end up receiving a combo of NSAID, e.g., ibuprofen and acetaminophen (Tylenol). With greater disability, stronger drugs (the 'triptans') are prescribed. Anyway, proper diagnosis first....before embarking on multiple routes for treatment/palliation, imo.

Tzu Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 You guys know how much I love da big round numbers... Naz Comp right at a huge one on Furday.... Could be a move towards low 2300's on deck....but if we don't start down ASAP, LOA... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ya, that massive upper resistance line is a dousy. The biggest in years if we break out. QQQQ 45 area looks like the key? The longer term charts seem to show 45 on the QQQQ as a solid brick wall. If you check out my ta channels we will break out on any move above. It seems this should take volume? What is your opinion on that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't see any long-term significance to the 45 level on the Q's. The next major resistance level is not until 51+. That's 13% higher. Obvious support at 42.75-43.25. Super-important support at 40ish. The dilemma is that, while I see the Q's looking to head to the next level of key resistance at $51ish, I'm not sure it can get there with the current rally since I'm seeing some pretty important key resistance levels only 4-6% higher with tech bellwethers like IXCO, SWH and others. If the IXCO is stopped at 1151-1177, as I suspect, then the Q's will be stopped as well since the IXCO represents the tech stock universe (over 500 components). The Q's are 56% technology-weighted. As you might imagine, the QQQQs and the IXCO have moved largely in tandem. The QQQQs have gained 132% since Oct 2002. The IXCO has gained 124%. Both the QQQQs and IXCO fell exactly 84% between March 2000 and Oct 2002. So the moves have been nearly identical from 2000-2007. But the pct moves and initial declines to and from the March 2000 top were somewhat different given that the largecrap techs were significant outperforming the broader techs near the end of the bubble. For example, the neckline of the 99-00 bubble on the QQQQs was 51+, 13% higher than current prices. But the bubble neckline was 1151-1177 on the IXCO, just 4-6% higher than today's print. Also, the first chart print on the IXCO was 1150 back in 1998 while it was 40.22 for the QQQQs. The QQQQs moved up 196% from late 1998 to March 2000 while the IXCO only moved up 160%. For the last few years, it has become a battle of competing resistance and support for the Q's and the IXCO. The major points of resistance for the Q's were 40ish, 42.75ish and now 51ish while the key levels on the IXCO were 975-1000 and now 1151-1177. The Q's tagged 40 back in late 2004 and got turned away for nearly a year. Then they ran up to 42.75-43.25 in early 2006 and got turned away for nearly a year again. The IXCO reached its target of 975-1000 in early 2004. It appeared the Q's were ready to tackle 40, but they were held back by the fact that the IXCO was at resistance. The Q's tagged 42.75-43.25 in early 2006. It appeared that the IXCO was ready to tackle its next level at 1151-1177 but it was held back by the fact that the Q's were at resistance. And so it goes. Now we again have a situation where the IXCO is nearing key resistance (4-6% higher) while the Q's have 13% more room to run. But it is likely the Q's will be held back by the IXCO just like in early 2004. If this transpires, it creates the potential for a up/down/up scenario, or possibly an up/down/up/down scenario. Here's one scenario that might fit: ----IXCO rises 4-6% to 1151-1177 while QQQQs rise to 47.12-48.00. ----Then we see a correction back towards QQQQ 42.75-43.25. A 10%+ selloff. ----Then a glory run to QQQQ 51ish, a 20% rally, with bigcrap tech in the lead. ----Then possibly a much larger correction back to mega-molto-longterm-support at IXCO 975-1000 and QQQQ 40ish. A 20% selloff or so. (Sep/Oct?) Either way, watch 40ish, 43ish and then 51ish on the Q's. Those levels should tell you all you need to know. Also watch 975-1000 and 1151-1177 on the IXCO. All this, of course, is pure guesstimation. But these major charts have been genuflecting to key levels for many, many years. I am making the assumption they will continue to do so. Long-term, if the IXCO can ultimately move above 1151-1177 and the Q's above 51ish, it could set up a massive tech rally of 40-50% or more in 2008 and 2009. My targets for such a rally would be IXCO 1469-1770 (+33% to +60% from current levels) and QQQQ 57-69 (+26% to +53% from current levels.) It needs to be stressed that the 51ish level on the Q's and the 1151-1177 level on the IXCO are the last remaining key levels of resistance before these fine investment vehicles re-enter the Realm of the Bubble. If/when that happens, LOA. But first they have to deal with these very key resistance levels. And they are unlikely to give way without a fight. And if, perchance, the Q's were to fall back under $40, that would be EXTREMELY bearish. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 45 seems much more important to me. 51 seems like a blip. Please explain why the 10 year chart is not being looked at.....why no monthly chart to smooth things out? Everything else is awesome. I just don''t get why the 10 year is being ignored almost it seems. Am I wrong or is there something I am missing? rsi seems to agree with your 51ish target...why should I give that level more prevelance(?) than I am? I dont see it on the 10 year chart. The mixed signal williams % is interesting none the less.....no clue what it is. I was just checking out some different things. I really wish I had my Speed resistance lines right now. MArketscreen data is whacked. SRL lines in this environment are very helpful imo. but I have lost the option...... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know what you mean by a "10 year chart". The Q's have only been trading for 7 years, so I don't think a 10-year chart would be much help here. I look at price. If that doesn't work, I look at price. If that fails too, then I look at price. The more touches on a priceline, the more important. The bigger the reaction on a priceline, the more important. The bigger the index, the more important. QQQQ's debuted at 40.22 in late 1998. The first time back to 40.22 was a top (early 2005) when Q's topped at 40.21 and sold off 15%. Then Q's came back to 40.06 in Aug05 and topped, sold off 7%. Coincidence? Probably not. Then Q's ran to 43.23 in Jan06, in the vicinity of the post-9/11 high of 42.74. Then tested 40 three more times, back to 43.00, and fell 17%. Coincidence? Probably not. Now the Q's have busted thru the key 42.74-43.23 zone. Next stop, based on straightline price magnets, is 51ish: spike low in mid-99, spike low in Jan01, spike high in mid-01. Everyone sees these levels, so there's no secret sauce here. But they are working. So I'm going to assume they will keep working until they don't. Retracements are a bitch, especially for big fat pigs like the QQQQs. You can draw any trendline you like, but they haven't worked on a long-term chart like this. Maybe intraday or short-term, trendlines can work. But when trendlines and price collide, price wins. Or at least it has for quite a few years. What's nice about this chart is that key price and resistance levels are so well-established over many years. So everyone can see what's happening and act accordingly. Above 51, mega-bullish. Above 42.74-43.23 but below 51, bullish. Below 42.74-43.23 but above 40, chop suey. Below 40, bearish. Below 34-35, mega-bearish. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dont have a 7yr option. I kinda still disagree with trned line and price. I only say this because I am not convinced but would like to be sold on it. Seems time is the best solution for evidence here if I am wrong and need to reevaluate etc.. I don't see it in the stats. I think fractals are more important than price but we shall see over the next few months and my opinion may possibly be changed because of it. Specific price points are traps imo; thats why you get supports that get blown thru and immediately bottom afterwards??????? PErhaps ta has been successful so I never really have paid close enough attention. To be honest, ignoring 99% of things and just playing straight poker is a powerful talent for me but only when I get on a role and it is important to choose the time to get off.. Swing trading is my #1 talent for me. (Talent is percieved by the viewer I guess due to elephant dung theory) Maybe I have just been lucky with the strategy in itelsf You have to admit, fractals are extremely interesting and alot of it is absolutely 100% statistically possible Rock bottom is coming tomorrow.

PM me if you need more input. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks, I haven't been to see a Doc in over 20 years. Ever since I learned that the semi frequent bronchitis attacks I used to suffer when lived in Smogville, went away in about 7 days whether I took drugs or not. And more often than not, the pills made me even sicker before I got better. Turns out, rest was the big key for me, not drugs. I kid you not, I took some of this Erythromycin one time, and within a day, I was coughing up stuff over a foot long. After that experience, I said never again. BTW, since I left LA, haven't had trace of bronchitis ever. Probably the same story with the headaches, except, I can't seem to sleep once I get one of these MFers. Once I finally get to sleep the headache usually goes away. I just hate over drugging myself in order to get to sleep. But it probably is about time to at least get a checkup, eh? Just in case it is something more than just fatigue, and tension buildup.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wndysrf Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 K-Wave: I had cluster migraines since I was 14 years old. They would occur every 3 years, right on schedule. One a day, every day for 6 weeks, then they would be gone. I haven't had them since 2001, ever since I started eating more organic food, taking Fish Oil and Flax Oil, and avoided eating pizza, french fries, fried food, etc. I really thought I was stuck with those the rest of my life. But they appear to be gone forever now. But when I did have the headaches, I would take one Cafergot pill at the onset of the headache, and if I took it soon enough, it would knock it right out. If I waited 5 minutes too long, it would be too late, and I would have to suffer through it. The last two cycles I had, I took the Cafergot each time, on time, and it knocked it right out. Every time. Now I haven't had any in a long time, but I still keep those Cafergots around in the office, car, house, etc. just in case. Active ingredient, believe it or not, is caffeine.....
