I am encouraged by Teri's SharePost. Many of my friends on Facebook are claiming that 2009 is the year! 2008 has personally been very difficult for me. I have had migraines for nearly 30 years, but this year they have gone out of control. It is only coming toward the end of the year that I am finding some resolve with a new medication that surprisingly was not intended to be prescribed for my migraines. Several new diagnoses have come about including 2 genetic disorders with 3 very naughty genes that have contributed to my headaches and potentially to other complications including at least one TIA and a new diagnosis of nonamnestic mild cognitive impairment. These are all things I will need to learn how to accept as well as the potential for future memory decline. It is showing in difficulty in learning new things. However, I am not looking to the negative in this coming new year, but to the positive in that I am on a very personal campaign to RECLAIM MY BRAIN from all that has been attacking it this past year. The Namenda has helped in many many ways. I am seeing much more clearly, brighter, and the headaches are not nearly as severe. Yes, there are some really bad days, but one bad day is better than seven in a row. I am attempting to learn a new computer program as well as be reassigned a new position so I can earn the rest of my retirement benefits.
I am happy to have found a place like My Migraine Connection to learn about other options and to see if I was on the right track!
Have a happy, less painful and prosperous 2009 everyone!
Chris
