    • About Me

      Well, I am really not sure what to say about myself. Huh! I am a very loving, kind, and caring person....I recently got my Bachelors in Clinical Psychology and am currently working in substance abuse while in graduate school pursuing a Masters in Human Services Okay enough with that.... I am in an interracial marriage. I am black and my husband is white. Our marriage has been great aside from some issues with his family but no matter how much they might be against us, we are still in love. I also suffer from severe migraines and some depressive moments.

    • Get Well Soon!

      From daninflorida August 10

      So sad reading about that nasty migraine. Sad and familiar. I've missed plenty of things and of course it's better to miss something that to go and collapse or just be sick and be the center of attention. You're very strong. If we were closer I'd give you a head massage. Hugs and more hugs, Dan

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Not Working
      Did not work
      Caffeine Working / Worked
      Coffee, Pepsi, and Cola
      Excedrin Working / Worked
      This works, but caused me to have bleeding.

      I started with the pills, then on to the injections and nasal treatment. Of all of them, I would only do the nasal again. Others have side effects of vomitting and feeling faint.

      this preventative is helpful, but has side effects of weight loss, memory loss, confusion, and depression.
