Hi kmpisces,
I'm sorry you are getting migraines. It sounds like it could really hamper your life.
My friend with the RA gets migraines. Her trigger is an overhead fan. She is stressed out all of the time because she has RA and three kids. Throw in an overhead fan and she is in trouble...
Trellum -
I kind of got PTSD after 911. Really awful dreams - even worse after my first son was born. I found that Chamomile tea with honey would help relax me and for really bad nights - I'd take Valerian root.
However, if melatonin would work that would be better. I consider Valerian root...
No problem Trellum. This is another one of her string of immunity issues. The run in her family - so they can all share when the get together and joke around about it.
I just checked in with her yesterday. Her diet is controlling the pain and inflammation right now, so she feels good. It was...
This just happened to me yesterday. It was so weird. Shooting pain so bad that I could barely breathe, and no reason for it! I have a lot of other physical things going on with my body right now though too. And high stress.

I would also do an elimination diet to see if you have any food sensitivities. When I was in a gluten intolerance group, I met a woman with severe joint pain in her hands. She had had this pain for years. When she went off of gluten, then her pain cleared up. I figure that diet...
I have not done so yet. It's hard to be passionate about bookkeeping. :) Although I do like taking care of others, which is how I see bookkeeping.
I would like to hear more about the writing as well!
Oh, I'm sorry. It would be nice to be just as active as you want without having to pay for it.
When I am having a lot of pain (for me) I think of one of my best friends who is a cancer survivor 2x. She is in constant pain, I know because they removed a bunch of bone and muscle, then took...
How long is your PCP on vacation? It seems very weird to me that he can just take over your care that way without consulting your PCP. You know what is best for you and your body.
This sounds very frustrating to me. I'm so sorry that you have found something that is working for you and then...
