About Me
I am 38. I was diagnosed in 2008 as having Asperger's. I also have dysgraphia, dyslexia, NVLD and mild ADD. I recently got my first job in my field of study. I graduated in 2008 with my associates degree in human services. I am now in the process of finding a new job that is better suited to me. The one I have is not a good fit or a good match. I like travel, dance, music, cats, dogs, fish, the ocean, and to camp. I also like to draw, paint oils and watercolors.

Close Migraine Headaches
I had epilepsy as a child and was fortunate enough to outgrow it. But, I was left having migraines form the age of 13. I'm not sure if the two things are related but I think they are. For awhile I took imitrax and then later I started to use excederin migraine,lavander,accupunture etc.... Since I have been ou t of school they haven't been as bad, but I still get migraines pretty frequently.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Works well as long as you do it like once every two weeks or so - or more often.
- Caffeine Working / Worked
- Caffine like coca cola did work but I only used little amounts. I took 2 excederine with a gulp of coke and it usually broke the headaches with in 15 to 20 minutes provided it wasn't a really horrible one.
- Excedrin Working / Worked
- Yes, this works really well for me (excedrine migraine).
- Imitrex Working / Worked
- I only used this when I had to as a last resort. They either gave me a shot or a pill and it was hard for me to breath and somtimes it really made my head hurt temporarily.
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I started nutri-system 6 months ago. My got this for me as a present. I lost 40 pounds. I am now flying solo and I have lost 3 more pounds. I just need to find a way to fit more exercise into my day and not forget to do it. Exercising helps my mind clarity and I feel better. It also helps with my mild depression.
Treatments
