This Is Getting Ridiculous

Sara keeps deciding she doesn't want to be around anymore, so without a designated host person, things are getting bad. I mean, switching so much it's insane, and it's hard to know who's where when and with who else. And we're getting killer headaches that won't go away. I mean I've taken Asprin, Extra Strength Tylenol, and prescription strength Ibuprofen at the same time and it still feels like the head's going to explode.

I hate to say it but without Sara here as the host I don't know what to do. Monica's been pulled down into the dark somewhere that I can't find her. I always thought I could handle stuff because I'm older than both of them but I guess I just don't have the experience.

point taken, i worded that badly; also i should have stated my sources were drs. lydia gross & mohan nair in taped interviews from the early 90s (not that that makes them right!).

i'm still interested in your take on why the headaches happen.

Any correlation between cerebral blood flow and switching is unproven because there have not been sufficient, if any, scientific studies to support the hypothesis.

We don't have a take on why people get headaches. It could be stress, changes in hormone levels, changes in blood flow, changes in blood pressure, changes in levels of neurotransmitters, a psychosomatic response. The headaches could be unrelated to switching. The headaches could be causing the switching. The cause of the headaches could be causing the switching. There are lots of possibilities; none of which will ever be studied, so it's pointless to hypothesize. It doesn't really matter why you have a headache.
