| [slm] these headaches are often due to too little drinking so, you have to drink at least 2 litres a day [] , the body really needs it; best to drink, is no... not mecca cola , but simple pure water; and not too much tea and coffee. also working for too long at the good ole computaa strains the eyes which again causes headaches; of course a lot of people have to sit at the computer for long, you cant avoid this; but one good thing is to relax in between; eg every half hour stretch a bit the armsas if you just got out of bed and yawn, and hands and fingers, and legs and esp for the eyes look out of the window and fix the eye on a far-off point, so that the eye gets a kind of alternation from concentrating on the montior which is sometimes also too near to the eyes and a good nap also does it wassalam hayat |

| [slm] sigh...quit the IT field 8) When i used to be in the field after one year only, I started getting horrible headaches from facing the computer ALL DAY :'( :'( :'( A couple things that help (while you are looking for a landscaping job ;) ) -Get reading glasses (if you wear contacts), if not just glasses that help diffuse the rays from the computer.. -Get the screen cover thingie...also double your protection -take lotsa breaks (like hayat said) and lotsa water -Even if you can't get up, look away from the screen every 15 minutes or so...and really stare at something in the horizon (of your cubicle) to allow your eyes to rest, and muscles to relax. -look for another job- like a writer in the meadows of spain, under the shade of hundred year oak trees, amidst the rhythmic songs of nature, and breezes of eternity to wipe the stress away from your face and infuse the light into the depth of your heart :) -If you can't find another job take a long walk at lunch and meditate on the above :-* aight bro..the glasses really really helped me out...and contacts in general tend to add to the headache phenomenon, so try to use them sparingly (like spayyshall occassions when you are going to meet Mrs-Jaihoon-to-be:) Sissy in ze technological love hate relationship :-) [wlm] |

| [slm] Wow, how ironic. Just tonite I had a horrible headache spurned from work; but i have been having them often ever since i started work. I think mine however are instigated by sitting in 1.5+ hrs of traffic EACH way. :'( Not fun... Perhaps to help relieve the headaches, is if you are in front of the computer screen all day, to take occasional breaks to rest ones eyes. And definitely too much caffeine either from tea/coffee/soda strains ones nerves. Dhikr would also help relieve ones nerves, or moderate exercise. Maybe I should heed my own advice. ;D Here, have a caffeine free [] wassaalam |

| [quote author=.Jaihoon. link=board=madrasa;num=1065699663;start=0#0 date=10/09/03 at 08:41:03] [slm] Does anyone suffers from after office stress symptoms? I am referring to severe headaches. What should one do in such circumstances. A doctor told to just relax to give rest to ur nerves. Anyone has any suggestions? jazak Allah khair [/quote] Yes we all do and you are not alone in this. Shukr of Allah. Have you tried that I ask it every day. Just look around and this is how I understand for myself. [quote] "........was the 92nd American soldier to die in Iraq since George Bush declared major combat over on 1 May. These are just the known dead. The fate of others, killed in the Iraqi countryside, passes unnoticed. Early yesterday I visited a fruit-growing village called Dhuluaya 50 miles north of Baghdad where Ali Saleh, a farmer, had just buried his 10-year-old daughter Namara. Last Friday mortar bombs - nobody knows who fired them - started raining down on his house. He and the rest of his family scrambled to safety but Namara was crippled by polio and could not get out of the way of a large chunk of concrete. It crushed her to death......" [/quote] I can do a 24 hour 7 day week on call at the data farm I work and still its easier than consoling her father and if she was alive try and answer her question." Why?" or console the mother of that soldier, when she asks "Why?" A loss of a life is a loss of a life. Nuff said...... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/03/magazine_your_perspective_on_the_world0_3_9_october_2003/html/8.stm [quote] “While in Egypt I visited a typical Nubian village home. “The lifestyle they lead is so simplistic, they have so little, that when I left I felt humbled to have met her.” [/quote] Look around ;-) Its all always "Akkare Pacch" or the other shore is always green. The challenge is to look at whom Allah has given less than what Allah has given you in the material and thank Allah for it. ~Dhameer |

| [slm] If you massage the area of your hand between your thumb and forefinger...that's instant relief. By the time the effects of a na-ice ginger and honey tea kick in...you should be alright. Don't stress out too much! Wasalaam. |

| [slm] [quote]look for another job- like a writer in the meadows of spain, under the shade of hundred year oak trees, amidst the rhythmic songs of nature, and breezes of eternity to wipe the stress away from your face and infuse the light into the depth of your heart [/quote] Ah, such excellent advice! Seriously - there's a reason why these things are called [i]quratul 'ain[/i] (excuse the transliteration)...which PCs most definitely are not! Dhikr/prayer therefore is an [i]excellent[/i] remedy as I discovered on my last job... Having said that, alhamdulillah there's good in all things of course - sit in front of the PC and I get to talk to my fellow Madinites during my skiving - uh, [i]breaks[/i] :) I fully empathise wit ze technological love hate relationship sis Maliha ;D Br Jaihoon I [i]would[/i] also suggest a niice tel maalish - massaging the head (esp back of the neck) is soo soothing - except that won't do much for your appearance...hehe :P In which case JustOne's advice works as a wonderful "plan B" for me :) Wasalaam |
