This may have been posted elsewhere, but there's a new treatment called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation that has started clinical trials. Hopefully, the early results will hold up, and the device could, at some point, provide you with relief.

For a second I read that as "started clitoral trials", and boy did that change the rest of this passage.

This may take me a while to shake off.

t blink, blink

Yeah, still dazed.

BWAH! The product trials from Adam & Eve are thataway...clitoral trials aplenty.

Kristin has a new tag.

Thanks, MFNLaw. That article made me a bit misty. I hope hope hope something comes of it. Or of anything, really. I'm about at the point of admitting these migraines are really fucking with my life.

Which sounds weird. Of course they've been affecting me adversely. But I'm cuffed by them, and the strain is starting to show.

I hope that something gives you substantial relief, and soon. Most people would have curled up and shut out the world, but you refuse to give in. Whatever you call it--gumption, intestinal fortitude, stubborness--I admire your ability to persevere. But, you're surviving, not living, and that's not right. A pain-free day isn't too much to ask.

Persevering, getting dressed in the morning--whatever it is, I do it because the alternative (to crib from Highlander) is unthinkable.

And it is.

But that doesn't make it not suck.

I don't feel admiration-worthy (well, who ever does, in the moment?) but maybe after this is all done with I will look back and go "Fuck. I did that? Huh."

I think you will, ita. I truly believe you will come out the other side of this and be as awed as we are at your fortitude during it.

I think you are just silly. But that's mostly cause you won't buy spectator pumps AND white sandals.

"Fuck. I did that? Huh."

I gotta say, it looks pretty impressive to me right now. I've had the occasional migraine (none since going on the AD, what's up with that?), and I can't even imagine what you are going through.

I still haven't procured a wedding gift for my sister, who got married in 2001 and is now in the process of a divorce.

That's not slacking, that's prognostication.

And, because it is here even if it's not there yet - HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEC!!!

Um, yeah. Remember your move from MI to CA? And mine from MN to CA? I know both times people told us they admired us - I remember telling you that, I only bring up mine for common ground - and I remember my own experience being of the suck at the time, but now that I look back on it? Kinda cool that I did that. Kinda cool.

So, in conclusion, you are Teh Awesome.

makes out with everyone
