you are holding onto a rod of metal.
Dangeling from the other end is your best friend hanging over a bottomless gorge.
Within the metal rod is a heater element that raises the temperature to searing heat.
It only heats your end though.
What do you do?
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Assuming the rod is free to drop when you let go, and that there is nothing else that you can use there is no option but to drop the rod at some point.
Pure cookery means that you will be unable to hold on once the heater heats up, even if you manage to overcome the pain.
Your relationship with your friend defines how much pain you will accept before your hand automatically drops them. The pain you receive is inversely proportional to the guilt you feel at the loss.
Of course, csince the gorge is bottomless, your friend will not die! no impact at the bottom, since the bottom is not present.

The thing is....
If I drop my resolve and take the medication.....
The fall could be impossible to stop.....
This is not a light decision.....

I'm just wondering what type of medication is being used. Is this just the normal off the counter medication, which means, it probably wouldn't be addictive. If it's not, well is it doctor prescribed aand what does he say 'bout this. If you haven't seen a doctor, I don't know. I STILL think you should see a doctor, since a headache shouldn't last for 16+ days without relief by itself. To answer your earlier question, well to a point where your arms are in pain, you're about to drop him anyways, how 'bout the other guy, he can't hold on too long either, unless his hands are glued to the pole. YOu can continue trying to pull the guy up, but there's no guaranteed success that you can 1.. support his weight, and 2. exert enough energy to lift the guy up. heh that's my opinion. Sometimes it just gets too hard to withstand the pain and you have to let it go.

I know you're really concerned about the mnedication. We've talked about that before. The risk isn't something to take lightly, but sooner or later, the benefit has to outweigh the risk. 16 days with a migraine is a fery long time. I'm assuming you have a history with this or similar medication so talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your concerns. He may have some suggestions or a different kind of medication or treatment. You can try to wait it out, but I know you must be getting to the point where you feel that's no longer possible.
Hope you feel better soon. {{HUGS}}

The answer is to take things under medical supervision and with decent intervention and help. a 16 day headache is not for self diagnosis. It may be simple. a vertebra out of place. It may be an ailment. Butget it checked
