Hi Kimi

Quote From: kimikomine

If it is going from your eye along the temple it could be one or two of the cranial nerves causing the problem. The Trigeminal nerve is sensory and mixed and originates at the pons and is distributed to areas of the forehead, maxilary region and mandibular. The facial nerve is responsible for a lot of pain that can trigger pain in the eye, ear, head.  

  

It could also be a tension headhead. Does the pain stop at the temple or do you feel it in the back region (occiput) bone in the back of your head? That would be tension. If you have never had this and it doesn't go away I would'n't mess with it. If you can get to an MD you might want a professional opinion.  

  

OH. One more thing. Do you have any pain directly in the eye? 

I hope that you are doing wonderful.  Just got back from a much needed vacation with S/O, it was lovely, we needed to get away from work, we havent been on a vacation since January. 

  

Thanks for the info.  I think a lot of it is tension and the computer.  Before I started using the computer everyday I had 20-20 vision and now, not so much.  Damn computer :)  I also have no idea where any of those things are that you mentioned :)

If you go on line and look up words like: temporal, cranial nerves. Also if you go to HealthMD you might find some useful info. The only reason I know that jargon is because I just finished 1000 hours of medical massage therapy. I am in the process of getting my license. If you had this before, you know how long it lasts and all but I wouldn't play around with anything like that. Also the jugular nerve runs along those points you are having discomfort in. If you are in real pain, dont try to diagnose...........go to an MD. :) The reason for computers to blame is due to the way our eyes have to focus and the amount of eye movement can have a major impact. The computer screen is horrible for the eyes.When I don't turn on my computer for just one day, I notice my vision is clearer (I have 20-20) and as strange as this may sound, I even have better color in my face. 

  

The computer bounces rays and images at us that we can't see with the naked eye but our visions are suffering horribly due to the wonderful invention of the computer. I hope you feel better soon.

Men wouldn't resort to porn if...

Cheating is wrong.  Let me state that right off.  And indulging in porn IS a form of adultry.  However, men would never have to resort to this if women would just do their wifely duties the way we want it.  A girl who can cook would never put cheese in her entrees if her husband was allergic to cheese, would she?  No.  So, just do what we want, the way we want and you won't find this month's "Barely Legal" centerfold tacked to the headboard.

When you say you don't let your wife know about how you feel about her stomache, don't you think that she can feel it from you. From your actions? I mean I cut my hair really short this summer and my husband didn't like it, he never said anything but I could tell. We tend to know our spouses better then we relieze. I am just wondering if you relieze that sometime things you don't say but feel are just as painful to a woman. It is something to think about, anyway.  

  

I am not trying to be rude, I relieze you don't like me, but I just thought maybe someone should point out that you are hurting her by not being honest with her. I mean you are not even giving her the chance to focus on that area and maybe fix it. Anyway it is just something you may want to think about, there are many ways of dealing with this and amybe the way you have choosen is not helping either of you. There is nothing wrong with porn, I believe that strongly, but there are some real problems when you use porn to escape something you don't want to deal with in your marriage.  

  

I am not going to say that you using porn is hurting her that is for her to decide but if you are being unturthful about why you are using it and what you are having a hard time dealing with then you are not really doing either of you a favor. You say you love her so I am sure that hurting her is the last thing you what to do, but maybe by saving her feelings by not openly expressing what you are feeling, is hurting her. I hope that you think about that. 

  

Take Care, Jeff

And in your world, that might be what would make you happy in a relationship. But in my world, when there is more then one person involved it is now a matter of the two being able to come to a happy medium where both can walk away and feel real good about themselves, and their lovers. 

  

Do you really believe that ONE person could do EVERYTHING you would want? Wow. You have real high expectations. I wish you luck.

She has to already be aware of it, unless of course, she's blind, which she isn't.  I know that she knows how I feel about it, even though she hasn't come right out and said it.  This is one of many things that women are supposed to be on top of and handle themselves.  Its not up to me to say, Hey hon, your stomach and the way it looks really turns me off, why don't you go and get plastic surgery to correct it?  That would hurt her a lot more than me not saying anything at all. 

  

I'm not using porn to escape something I don't want to deal with in my marriage.  How many times do I have to say this damnit?  I'm using porn as a SUPPLEMENT to it, just like your husband is doing.  Don't give me that crap that he's using it to see the act of sex!  If that's the case, does this also mean that he's using porn to escape something HE doesn't want to deal with in his marriage?  Since he apparently doesn't "see" the act of sex while he's actually having sex with you or doesn't like what he sees, so he has to seek it out in porn?  No need to answer.  I already know why he does it. 

  

I understand (or trying very hard to) that you're just asking these questions out of either curiosity or trying to cut me down, I'm not sure which.  Before you post your questions to me, maybe you should look within your own marriage and ask your husband these questions.  You may be surprised at the answer you get (IF he tells you the truth).

Like I said I was not tryong  to be rude. The  fact is that I have asked these very same questions in my own marriage. That is what 2 people in a honest relationship do. Please don't assume you know anything about my marriage, just as I don't assume to know anything about yours. Thus is the point of asking questions. I noticed that you had said in pervious posts yesterday, that you don't want to hurt your wife so you just don't say anything about the problem you have with her stomahe, so I wondered if maybe you ever thought that being honest with her would be better for the both of you. Obivously you don't and that is fine as long as you are willing and happy to live like that. I am not your judge nor would I want to be. I just how you relieze that women are more perceptive then you give us credit for. 

  

As far aa my own marriage trust me I would not be posting anything to you if I had not already tried it and it worked. The fact is that my husband and I do not struggle sexually or with each other appearances, but there have been other things that we have both struggled with and we had to learn to be honest about it, no matter how hard it was to do it.  

  

Porn is not something that I believe that men use for all the same reasons unlike alot of people here. I believe that each person has their own reasons, and when you say you use it as a supplement, I think that is the same as saying you use it to help you cope with the  problems you are having about your wives stomache.  

  

I am triyng to be as nice to you as possible, trust me that is not easy for me. All I ask is that you don't assume that I am attacking you, because trust me that is the one thing I am trying not to do.

interesting thing about channels a la carte!

did anyone here the news? I heard that the fcc wants to make channels a la carte meaning you pay for only the channels you want. The motive behind this is suppossed to be to make tv more decent and cut obsenity. Now they said theY dont think it will happen anytime soon. Which i think sux , cuz i would love to do it. Then you can just get rid of bad channels that have porny stuff on. And it will make the cable channels crack down on obsenity.
Anyway thats what the news said. I have complained about stuff on tv to the fcc. Please if anyone is concerned with anything on tv go to the fcc website. I think its fcc.gov, and write to them. We need to voice or opionions.
