ABOUT ME:

I retired from teaching and consulting online due to the increased frequency and length of my migraines in 2007. I'm under the care of a neurologist in Grosse Pointe Woods, Mi., who specializes in patients with migraine. This increase has built up over the past 12 years and I am experiencing 3 -4 migraines per week.  I am post menopausal, use biofeedback, am aware of my food and environmental triggers, and have recently begun yoga in an attempt to further improve my overall health.  I have a supportive and understanding family, but feel frustrated at the loss of career and abilities.  I am looking forward to learning to look forward to the things I can do rather than what I cannot, and to sharing the support and education that I hope to gain through joining this group. Thanks.
