I’m With You
Leigh, you will be amazed by and proud of what you can do with the help of Daily Strength and your willpower! Willpower is NOT my middle name. After 40+ years of smoking, and many quit attempts using every known aide, I was still smoking. Then I found Daily Strength. Now 23 days cold turkey! Read lots on DS. Learn. Prepare. A popular read is Allen Carr's The Easy Way To Stop Smoking. You may be able to download it, no charge, by using this link: http://www.geocities.com/purplkoal. If that link won't work for you (does for some, doesn't for others). I can email a download directly to you, but am not able to paste the download here for you. You probably also can get the book from your local library. You can quit, if I can. Here's some other helps: A list of things that might help with your quit Posted on 12/27/08, 04:55 am 1. Drink lots of water. It will help to flush the toxins out faster as well as easing the cravings. 2. Do what your body asks. Feel like crying? - go ahead. Feel like sleeping? - do it. Want to scream? - then scream. Angry? - punch a pillow 3. Reward yourself often, daily at the least. The rewards do a lot to help the brain repair itself from the damage inflicted by nicotine. 4. Know that the craving will only last about 3-5 minutes. You can get through 3-5 minutes. 5. Change as many of your routines that are associated with smoking as you can, so that you begin to break the associations between your actions and smoking. 6. If you feel a crave then go for a walk. 7. Deep breathing 8. Lots of rest 9. Eat smaller meals but more frequently 10. Write journals and read old posts on Daily Strength 11. Post in the daily Roll call and Pledge on Daily Strength 12. Remember the 5 Ds : Delay smoking : Distract yourself : Drink water : Deep breathe : Discuss what you are going through 13. Read Allen Carr's book "The easy way to quit smoking" This can be downloaded from http://www.geocities.com/purplkoal... 14. Visit this other good website - www.whyquit.com 15. Get yourself a quit counter. For example see http://www.dedicateddesigns.com/qk.

Support Groups
Close Migraine Headaches
To hopefully find the support of others that "know how I feel" about migraines. Not everybody understands how this impacts your whole life.
Treatments
- Aspirin Working / Worked
- Too much can cause rebounds
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- Not a fan of fragrances at all...If I am having a good day it only takes coming into contact with someone with perfume/cologne on to immediately set off a migraine. I vote for a non fragrance section in restaurants...Ha!
- Axert Working / Worked
- Side effects are lesser (more intense) from other migraine treatments I have tried
- Imitrex Working / Worked
- Have just switched back to this...today
- Medrol Too Soon to Tell
- Currently taking Medrol to try to break a migraine cycle I am in. I have used this course of action before. It will help reduce inflammation of the vessels in my head.
