I highly maintain that PDF files are my arch nemesis. They always have been and always will, damn them!
However there are two other nemesis that are wrecking my life. The first, migraines. Me head takes it upon itself to set world records of thumping horrdiness every single week. One of these days I will be found with a huge smile upon my face and my head lying smashed against a wall. Yes, I have medication but it shall not be defeated!

The second, The Safe Place. The Safe Place is an unknown vortex that swirls about unseen in my life sooking in everything I put away in a safe place so it won't get lost. My sunglasses, for example, were sat down safely on the dining room table and turned up two years later in my brother's bedroom. There are many many things I have lost to The Safe Place and I now try and sit things in only mildly safe places.

My main worry is that when I finally conk it, having smashed my head against the wall in glee of course, The Safe Place will see its victory and happily spew out everything I've lost all over my mourning family, showering them in pants, socks, my other pink shoe, pencils, cds, books, uni work, my one set of chalk pastels and more. They will return home covered in my lost items to find my laptop happily loading every single PDF file I ever struggled with.

Have you tried Foxit Reader rather than Adobe Acrobat?

I've never even heard of it!
Might have to give it a go.

chamomile tea
i've suffered with migraines for years, a cup of chamomile tea is often very helpful. the medication, not so helpful.

The medication usually does work, it just takes 2 hours to kick in.
I thank you kindly for this new information! My sister just bought a box and there's no way I'm not trying some now. =D

best to drink it an hour before bed
if you've never tried it before, as it can make you drowsy at first. just make sure you don't add milk ;)

GO TO A DOCTOR
I resisted going to a doctor for my migraines. Turns out they were hypertension related and now my kidneys are shot.

I repeat - GO TO A DOCTOR

my ex used to suffer with migranes
turns out it was the pill she was on, thickened her blood and made it clot more easily in her brain (ie migrane). changed the pill, migranes stopped.
