ABOUT ME:

Heaven help me! I get migraines of various intensities and durations perhaps TWENTY times per month. There is no common denominator as to their causes. I can get migraines any time of day when doing any kind of activity. I avoid all the triggers that we all know precipitate headaches. Avoidance does not matter in my case. I have searched for years for a solution. I have seen psychologists, psychiatrists, soft massage therapists, aggressive hard massage therapists, acupuncturists,and neurologists. I have practiced yoga, stretching, aerobic exercising, swimming, and weight training. I am most recently taking topical magnesium chloride. Individuals, I understand, generally do not suffer very much from migraines when they are 65 years and older. WELL,HERE I AM!!!!!!!! Sometimes my migraines are mild enough to actually compose written work. My two migraine poems that I submitted in March, 2010 were actually composed during the throes of two separate migraines. It amazes me that I was able to be creative at these times. Maybe there is a redeeming value to these terrible visitors in my head. Sorry about the smiling male avatar in my profile. He should be frowning and holding his hands to his temples.
