Some doctors and scientists have described the pain resulting from cluster headaches as the most intense pain a human can endure \u2014 worse than giving birth, burns or broken bones. \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Now I wouldn\u2019t say the pain has been as severe as giving birth.<!--more-->\u00a0 I\u2019ve never given birth, but the fact that I was able to function to a certain extent is my indicator that it was a step below birth.\u00a0 However, I have been in some serious pain for 3 days now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I would describe the pain as a long headache with a throbbing feeling directly behind my left eye accompanied by bouts of nausea and restlessness.<\/p>\n<p>Brutal.\u00a0 And of course w\/ all this going on, there has been no sleep.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been in so much pain that sleep has not been an option. I\u2019m already an insomniac and my Ambien has been no match.\u00a0 Fortunately as I\u00a0go deeper into\u00a0Day 3 of this anguish, I\u2019m feeling a little better.\u00a0 This is key because I believe my better half was prepared to tie me to the roof of his car and take me to the doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Anywho, I have found time to keep up with the news. Looks like Lil Wayne has been a tad bit sicker than the kid.\u00a0 He just got out of the hospital Tuesday after being in ICU for 6 days.\u00a0 YIKES!!<\/p>\n<p>He had a seizure last week while on a video shoot.\u00a0 Went to the hospital, got released then re-entered the hospital again on the 12<sup>th<\/sup> because of another bout of seizures.\u00a0 \u00a0TMZ had him on his death bed.\u00a0 His camp denied the severity and said he was doing fine.\u00a0 I believe somewhere in the middle is the truth.\u00a0 He&#8217;s\u00a0had a whole slew of guests.\u00a0 Most which only stayed for minutes.\u00a0 As someone who\u2019s been in the hospital, that\u2019s usually a sign that the person isn\u2019t coherent. When I was alert, I damn near had to throw folk out.\u00a0 When I was recovering, they stayed for a few minutes and left. Your friends don&#8217;t want to see you like that.\u00a0Not saying he was being read last rites, just saying there was a reason he was in ICU for 6 DAYS!! His camp can deny all they want but the hospital doesn\u2019t sponsor vacations.<\/p>\n<p>Although this hasn\u2019t been confirmed \u2013 actually it was denied by his camp\u2026go figure \u00a0\u2013 word on the street is that his last bout was brought on by an overdose of codeine.\u00a0 Wayne is known for sipping &#8220;sizzurp&#8221; &#8211;\u00a0 a mix of juice and cough syrup. His stomach was reportedly pumped at least three times.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Truth is no one will know for sure unless his medical records are released but can I be honest?\u00a0 I\u2019m pretty sure drinking sizzurp doesn\u2019t help if you have some neurological issues (i.e., seizures). Furthermore<b>\u2026(back on soapbox with a ice pack on my left eye)<\/b> who surrounds artists like Lil Wayne?\u00a0 You mean to tell me there\u2019s no one there who thought seizures and codeine don\u2019t mix.\u00a0 I could never stand by and watch someone I &#8220;love,&#8221; do this to themselves.\u00a0 Either they would need to change or I would have to leave the circle. I couldn\u2019t have blood on my hands when it ends badly. Perhaps they \u201clove\u201d the money more than they love Wayne. <a href=\"http:\/\/ohsodj.wordpress.com\/key-phrases\/\"><b>#IJS<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 And what about the media?
