I know forum traffic is rather slow, put post a roll-call....just say Hi.

First topic message reminder :

I know that all of us have our own battles. I'm having my own.

Just for the forum if you're skimming to take a look, just log in and say hello. It's ok lurker's I know it's hard to explain all the complexities, but at least just post a hello and a very brief status. I'll start.

--Mild migraines, lots of doc appoints, got another stent in my right coronary (heart) in Januray and vascular problems continue. Tons of meds, tons of doc appointments. But as long as the vascular aspect is treated the migraines are minimal.

Take care.

Bumping this because we haven't heard from a few people in a while.

I'm back at classes and counting down the days until I'm finished. Allergy season has been killer and I even missed my nerve blocks and Botox because my migraine was so bad I couldn't leave the house.

I can't wait for allergy season to pass!

Thanks for posting Milo....hoping you are ok!!! And yes, hoping good luck with school as well.

Usual stuff going on. Heart stuff is continuing to be a major issue. Been significantly running out of energy earlier in the day and getting short of breath. I'm seeing my cardiologist on Tuesday. Looks like I'm iron deficient. We're working on that one now. One after another, but--what are you going to do? Oh well.

A positive note, my health insurance premium only went up 7%. Much better than the consecutive 45% increases year over year for 3. Blasted insurance premium could almost cover a Porsche lease payment...lol.

On the ugh side, migraines have significantly increased. Could be due to spring/weather changes, or vascular changes.

Other than that, I'm getting outside and enjoying my biriding/photography.

I know you guys aren't feeling well--but do the best you can.

Take care,

-PF

Yes, I am really wondering what is going on with Cluelesskitty We havent heard from her in quite a while! I hope she is doing well and is very busy. Sadly, that isnt usually the case with all of us, is it?

I will add to everyone else that is having a hard time with migraine right now. I am always worse in the Spring, but not sure why. I dont have typical allergy symptoms, but I do feel worse after being outside. Which is really sad for me because I love being outside.

My daughter's wedding is a week from today. I am excited, but also very nervous since I am having significant head pain daily right now. Please keep me in your thoughts next weekend. We will have a house full of my in-laws. They are not real understanding of pain. My husband is a little irritated with me because he wants to do more things, but I cant.

Sometimes it has been a long 40 years with migraines.... Might be time for Welbutrin again, I am not prone to depression unless I have a long period without a break. Sending all of you healing thoughts.
Hugs,
Cindy

Hi Cindy !
My daughter married a couple of years ago. I was worried that migraine would spoil my day but it went fine.
The days before the wedding I was on a "high" because it was a special occasion. I soon landed the day after the wedding but it was worth it ! Wishing you a wonderful day ( angela pet )

[30yrsofheadache]

Thanks, Angela. I am hoping for the best. I'm glad you had a nice time at your daughter's special day
.Hugs,
Cindy

Sorry to hear Cheryl. Hope the road lightens up for you.

Risa -- that's very nice... even if it is due to global warming
