Dear Norma - I am sad to hear that you were suffering so. Me too.  I ended up in the hospital in March and the end of June.  March started out as a migraine visit and then my left lung collapsed and they found out with a bronchtoposy (furtunately I was out) that I have sarcoidosis disease - an auto immune disease of the lung and organs.  Right now I am being treated with tons of high dose prednisone to suppress the disease (I have put on nine pounds of water weight)- wish it helped the migraines because I ended up in the hosp. for 4 days of treatment at the end of June (Sulumedrol, dilaudid, DHE, benedryl, zofran to keep it all down and other things).  I am better now but not migraine free it just lowered the threshold.  Meanwhile I have to have lung treatments and I have a home nebulizer - I didn't need something else to worry about!  But I am still flying up to Portland this coming weekend for my mother's 80th birthday - I promised her I would bake her a cake and sarcoidosis and migraines or not here I come!  I just flew for the day to LAX and lunch in B. Hills to meet with our screen writing manager so I know I can fly and my Drs. gave me the okay.  So I hope you are feeling better! We are in the weather when every day is 100 plus so it's hot!  Can't keep the dogs out of the pool - I can't spend too much time in the pool because I have a fentanyl patch for pain and it gets a little loose.  Thanks for writing - I'm seeing a lot of aura so I better stop.  Thanks so much for thinking of me

hugs

Ian
