I can still stay within the forum rules, though!

Do you ever play EVE with a headache?
Most people say they play while they are drunk,
but what about the next day?

CAN you play EVE with a headache?
I'm sure it would drive me nuts.

Not every headache is equal of course. Some are worse than others.
This one feels like it will pass soonish, and I can speed it up by drinking green tea.


So, how's your eve experience after a drinking night?

I only had four lebowski and 0.2l beer. It was the beer tbh,
I never get headaches from anything else but. ^_^


*spreads headache meds around the thread* :)


What is grey and what is blue?
Is it a Vexor, a Charon or a colourful hue?
I'm going to buy one to rase the stake
But first I need to get rid of this damn headache!

I suffer with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea, which means my airway collapses when I sleep so my brain needs to keep waking me up just enough to start the breathing again. This basically means I get none or very little REM sleep, so sleep headaches are a daily occurrence along with extreme tiredness, lack of concentration or ability to focus and the strain it puts on my heart and other organs.

Are you a smoker?


Negative, I'm also fit and healthy and rarely drink.



you should get a c-pap, wife has sleep apnoea and a c-pap basicly saved her nights.

You should stop suggesting things.


Aww but its fun!

Suggest illogical things to confuse people.

Does your heart skip a beat regularly and then makes a big one?
Usually one feels it. It can come in combination with the spontanous inhale.

One "forgets" (i know cases were I rather call it "lazyness" tbh) to breathe ...
... the heart slows down ... eventually stops ...
... body emits a good dosage of adrenaline ...
... mind reacts with a short panic like effect ...
... and the inhale comes next to a big beat of the heart.


Apologies for the late reply.

Can't say that I experience anything like that, I do have a cpap machine as its the standard treatment here in the UK. However I can't use it as it makes me feel clostrophobic and the feeling of increased pressure being forced into my airways to keep them open is quite uncomfortable, so much so that I cannot sleep. As you can imagine this doesn't do much to solve the issue, however the doctor thinks I need to stick with it, but after 2 years of trying with the cpap my patience is wearing thin with hospitals.

I have no idea what a cpap is.

And, tbh, most western medicine does nothing to actually *solve* issues.

I forget what cpap stands for, its essentially a breathing mask with a filtered air pump attached. It's supposed to help with sleep apnoea by maintaining air pressure in your airways by forcing them open.

Ah. Weird.

I know apnoe as when someone stops breathing from "lazyness".
Like, heavy smokers can have it. Nicotine does that over time.
I don't know how to express that properly.


The way you describe it, it's mechanical.
The way I see it, it's not.


Let me guess... no one really knows what causes your "airways" to get thinner?
And ... wouldn't the same effect come from exactly as I say it?

Simply "lazyness", which leads to shallower breathing,
which leads to the airways not being widened ?


Very interesting.

The best explanation they have given me is that my airways relax when I am sleeping causing the obstruction in my airways. Strangely, I have taken singing lessons to improve the strength in my airways yet have little to no improvement. I have been told by my partner that I still try to breathe when having an apnoea, lasting anywhere from 10-50 seconds each time. So yes I have a lazy airway in a way, but why it is affecting me out of the normal range of patients is beyond me.

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean.
The muscles relax more and more over time.

I still haven't found a way to fix this.

For me it's getting worse when I smoke too much over the course of the day,
because although nicotine is a stimulant, it also causes muscles to relax.

It's even worse when I smoke too much weed, (which we europeans tend to mix with tobacco)
because then I notice that I am literally forgetting to breathe. Weed. Depending on the type,
it causes the mind to go into overdrive. It's an illusion, though, as the body should be able to
breathe automatically ... which it doesn't, due to the chemical influence.


You don't have this throughout the day?
I feel like that question didn't get answered.
The best way to notice is when you suddenly breathe in deeply,
which means you have pretty much stopped breathing the minutes before that.

The bottom line question is ... what mental or chemical influence causes your muscles to relax so much?

Apologies, I don't stop breathing that often, perhaps 3-5 times per day.

I am personally not a drug user, I try not to use pain killers to remedy pain unless I cannot cope.
I wonder if there are any genetic causes for this.

Sorry sol, can't tell the poor guy to lick his elbows...

I'd smack your doctor. My wife had to go through something like 8 mask before she found one that she was comfy with. And it took like 2 weeks of constant use to start getting used to, and 1 month till she no longer noticed it. But after that month... she sleeps way better. It was a pita for her, and took around a month to find the right mask. But I strongly recommend that you keep trying, at least for her it changed her whole life. But yea, kick your doctor. you need a different mask setup.

And if you GOT a different mask setup.. still kick your doctor cause its fun lol
