New...again

I was part of this online group several years ago and feel it is time to return.  I have suffered from migraines since I was 12.  The older I get the worse the migraines are.  I have probably 27 migraines per month.  I also have fibromyalgia, arthritis in my spine, bone spurs in my lower spine, depression, anxiety and degenerative disc disease.  The migraines trigger the fibro and the fibro triggers migraines...a vicious cycle.  I miss me...the things I used to be able to do, like working, working out, etc;  Right now I am trying to rebuild my life as it is, and not the way it was. It is hard to do but I don't want to get lost in this and I can feel it happening a little more everyday.  I go to church and Bible study and that seems to be my saving grace.

Hello, and wecome back! I think our time here has overlapped (I hopped aboard about 8 years ago.). At any rate, much support. I understand about feeling you're rebuilding but it's all new, and we can easily start to, as you quite eloquently put it, "get lost in this".

Cheers,
Leo

I remember you too! Welcome back. Maybe a dumb question but have you ever seen a headache specialist? Botox can be very helpful to control migraines and there are some new medications on the market. See you around the neighborhood!

    Welcome to the Perseid meteor showers, the "biggies" usually every year. (The Leonids beat 'em one year IMHO).AND today much of the northern hemisphere will see 5 to 99% solar eclipse. How cool is that? Your best bet is to be in the UK or norhtern Spain, where totality is excellent before sundown. Me, I'll get a super duper tiny itty bitty slice of it, so little that it won't be noticeable. New...
