      Hi thanks for the recognizing my birthday. What type of surgery did you have? What are you doing for Thanksgiving. I plan to go to New York. I have no plans to spend another lonely holiday in my hometown all alone. Talk to you soon.

      Treatments

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
      I cried too much, worked myself up and gave myself headaches, felt worse after the sessions. Stopped. Considering returning.
      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      I was receiving the generic but decided to invest in the premium and it has been well worth it. I was experiencing light headedness with the generic. I need a lot more of it cause it isn't doing much.

    • Close Migraine Headaches

      My migraines start out with tension that I just can not free myself from. Then I get a pain behind my left eye. I have astigmatism in that eye and I am right handed. Then there is usually a sharp pain at the base of my skull and it shoots through my brain and just feels like a nail is being driven through. I have to sit in the dark and have no sound, I use ear plugs. That's a new discovery for me. Seems to be a little allergy related too.
