    • About Me

      There are many fun things about me. I'm close to my family and my boyfriend, and I love doing things outdoors like rollerblading and volleyball. Unfortunately I'm less likely to do those things when I'm anxious and experiencing chronic headaches. I know that doesn't define me but it seems to be what fills my mind and takes my energy.

      Good Morning, Just wanted to send you a hug and my thoughts for the day. Welsh Rune: In this fateful hour, I call upon all Heaven with its power And the sun with its brightness And the snow with its whiteness And the fire with all the strength it hath And the lightning with its rapid wrath And the sea with its deepness And the rocks with their steepness. All these I place, By Heaven's almighty help and grace, Between myself and the powers of darkness. -----------Traditional Navajo Song: The mountains, I become part of it..... The herbs, the ir tree, I become part of it.... The morning mists, the clouds, The gathering waters, I become part of it..... The wilderness, the dewdrops, the pollen, I become part of it. ---------Anonymous Whenever you can, let people know what tradition you are working with. And if they are part of it, show that to them. After all, it makes sense to be interested in and feel respect for what is part of your inheritance. ---------Margaret Mead I hope you have a very good day. Take care of yourself. Sending you hugs. Hugs, Sam

      Hello my friend, Here is a hug and my thoughts for the day. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesying. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. ----I Thessalonians 5:19-21 It's what we all wanted when we were children-to be loved and accepted exactly as we were then, not when we got taller or thinner or prettier....and we still want it...but we aren't going to get it from other people until we can get it from ourselves. ---------Louise Hay True healing is found in the memory of wholeness -----------------------Deepak Chopra Take very good care of yourself. Sending you hugs. Hugs, Sam

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I had my first migraine seven years ago. Since then my headaches have cycled into a headache everyday, all day, with migraines interspersed. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any medications which prevent or effectively treat my headaches.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Too Soon to Tell
      I have tried once or twice in the last few years. However, I did't continue the treatments long enough for them to have an effect. I am starting a regular program now.
    • Close Migraine Headaches

      I had my first migraine seven years ago. The headaches slowly happened more and more often until I now have headaches all day, every day. Luckily I was able to start taking medication that limited my migraines but the daily headaches are still draining and discouraging.

      Treatments

      Imitrex Somewhat Helpful
      Was somewhat helpful when I had the migraines.
      Elavil Working / Worked
      I started this medication in combination with Topamax. It did decrease the number of migraines I experienced but it has not positively affected my daily headaches.
    • Open Anxiety

      I started having anxiety and depression in high school. However, I now believe that the anxiety brought about the depression. I took medication for the depression which controlled the anxiety/depression for 8-9 years. However, I stopped taking the medication and several months later the anxiety started building until I had several anxiety attacks. I have started taking anxiety medication, which helps, but I find myself limiting how much I take because of the side effects.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      It has helpful, but the side effects make me want to limit the dosage.
      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      Minimized both depression and anxiety while I was taking it.
