Question 1

thomas jefferson went to bed at dark and woke with the sun when retired. is that a good way to do it? remove draperies or shades?

Accepted Answer

Up with the sun: Sure, if you can get all the stuff you need to do done in that period of time. With the advent of electricity and mechanized farming, we don't need to do that anymore. This is why we are so in need of sleep!

Question 2

which hospitals do iv lidocaine for migraines or chronic pain? ive tried everything but this and only see thomas jefferson headache and ucsf offering.

Accepted Answer

Pick up your phone: There are big clinics elsewhere e.g. Ninan Mathew in Houston &amp; at U. of Michigan. You'll have to do actual legwork. You don't state where you live. Get a map, circle a radius of e.g. 500 mi around your hometown, look for tertiary-care headache docs within the circle, &amp; call 'em up &amp; ask. If no luck, go out 1000 miles, &amp; so on. But remember: giving IV lidocaine will be THEIR decision, not yours.
