Thanks Mike. I think you hit the nail on the head. :D
I spent last night with a splitting headache (that wouldn't shift even with pain killers) and feeling really, really sick.
I'm still deciding if it was:
A) migraine (although i don't really get those)
B) A brain tumour
C) A result of eating food from my broken fridge
D) General stress from having to deal with a ridiculous workload, teenagers and teachers all day.
E) A brain tumour bought on by D)
Feeling a little better today and my new fridge has arrived so if it was C) I shouldn't get that problem again.
Yeah, I'd go for the B, D & E combo ..... multiple diagnoses are far more convincing and valuable in my experience. If ya gonna be sick you may as well hit the rev limiter. It's a greater life-affirmation/suffering ratio. There are alot about that just muck about with single solution set problems, and how lame is that, eh?
With C you generally get more belly action both ends. But you may not have, for some strange reason, disclosed this. The migraines choice is a cop-out, unless it was induced by the stress of waiting for the new fridge. I'd give it full legit status in that case. Ya just gotta have proper clinical cred nowadays.
Just a totally wild, random and off-the-wall query - absolutely unrelated to any of the above - how's the chocolate going? :-)
Would you like me to hit you on the head with another nail? :-)
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Yes, you can have a migraine from chocolate. I know, it's bizarre. How any rational set of physical laws could support that finding is beyond me .....

You may have a point about C. I've only had the severe nausea, but I'll keep you informed if that changes. :D
I'm going to stick with B, D and E and be sure to write that on my sick note when I return to work tomorrow.
My chocolate binge was a one night only affair and has successfully put me off chocolate for a while...i doubt that could have caused a migraine, I think I was starting to feel unwell before I hit the chocolate and am still rather surprised that the chocolate failed to cure me.
Of course a migraine could have been bought on by a weekend of eating take out food (due to lack of fridge).

Well, if it's involving a sick note - that changes everything. You should have said that from the start. My approach has been totally wrong. Like a perpendicular offset to reality. ( rolls eyes ..... ) :-)
One night stands with chocky just don't cut it either, and you are right about it's curative properties in that situation. Take-outs often have MSG ( mono-sodium-glutamate ) which could have produced your symptoms, but that's just some silly scientific stuff I was once taught.
But if in doubt go for Lassa Fever, Ebola, or a twisted ankle. In that order. In a pinch Bornholm Disease always gains you ground, and Globus Pharyngus rarely disappoints. [ Arsenic is for those with patience, and cyanide if you have none.] :-)
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Our clinic here DownUnda gives full value. The abuse is for free, we can give both first and second opinions at the one consult. Just ask at the desk. With a choice of both rude and polite secretaries to suit all tastes, we offer one stop shopping ... :-)

LOL.
On the plus side, being off work I can actually get some phonecalls made. So not only do I have a new fridge, I've just found out that the Child Support Agency have finally caught up with my kids father and are going to make him finally pay towards their support. :)
Yayyy! great news Es, and about time too, I'm so pleased to hear it.
Apropos your current confinement, could it have been the oven door finally giving up it's jaunty angle in life, succumbing to gravity, and dropping on your big toe? Studies in the past have shown that similar happenings have caused various symptoms of general debility.
The reccommended cure is usually a very loud expletive beginning with F, swiftly followed by the exit of the offending heat appliance part through the nearest window. Of course this is only totally satisfactory if the final resting place of said part is not cluttered with mops.
Hope this helps.

Yeah. It's been 3 years. He did send me a letter a couple of months ago saying that he was going to pay me in food vouchers...which offensive enough as it was, just made me laugh because I knew I wouldn't see those either.

The oven door is still hanging in there. I get paid on Monday so will probably splash out on a new oven then..if it hasn't burnt the house down. :D
On the plus side my dad managed to install a new electric window winder in my car door for me. So now I can actually wind down the car window (and best of all..wind it back up) and it's no longer held up with black tape.
I think I'll contact my home insurance people and see if they will cover new carpet to replace the carpet ruined when my old fridge shuffled off this mortal coil.

Just give up the stove...and use only the microwave oven...It's simpler that way.
