    As the end of 2009 approaches, Thanksgiving turkey and holiday spending are probably on your mind. For those of you with Flexible Spending Arrangements (FSA) you should be thinking about health care expenses, as well. Many employers have FSAs available to their employees that they can use for certain medical expenses. One drawback with the FSA, however, is that if you don't use money you've contributed to your account during the year, you lose it. In other words, you can't roll over 2009 contributions to 2010 expenses. FSAs can reimburse you for "qualified medical expenses," and IRS…

    It may not be obvious to everyone why Migraine Art: The Migraine Experience from Within is such an important book.  But this magnum opus from Klaus Podoll and Derek Robinson is a key to migraine research that has been a long time coming. I’ve been dealing with migraine symptoms for well over 20 years.  I’ve read countless pages of research, and innumerable experiences from migraine and headache sufferers from around the world. Even after all that, there’s still more to learn about our symptoms.  Sometimes we ourselves don’t realize consciously what…

    How fitting September is Pain Awareness Month to have Mrs. Cindy McCain lead her voice to that of Migraine disease awareness as MAGNUM is still working with Congress to declare September as Migraine Awareness Month as well. Mrs. McCain believes more research is essential. “I am astonished by the lack of progress in the field and the dearth of medical advances. I mean, there are no specific preventives, and not enough effective treatments,” she notes. (Delivers keynote address 14th Congress of the International Headache Society)

    I’m be oming sick of education all together. When I fight myself to attend a certain class, we do nothing. Right now, I am in German class, watching a movie. I hate this. I cannot wait for post-secondary. No more bullshit. Today we have shorter classes at least. Today was my school annual “Shep’s got Talent”, hilarious and extremely hot is how I discribe it. My friend Claire played guitar and sang her version of a Billy Talent song. The song I cannot remember at the moment. She did amazing, if only you could have heard it. Another group/band sang wild thing, danced for…

  • Teeth...and the damn problems they cause

    So for the past couple of days, I have had the worst toothache ever. I don’t mean the type of toothache that hurts when you eat something cold or hot, or even an ache from sudden cold air. I am talking about the throbbing, migraine creating, sore neck and body toothache from hell. I went and saw the dentist three days ago and after all of the x-rays and them digging around in my mouth, they came to the conclusion that it was from my wisdom tooth that recently decided to come in. I am pretty tolerant to pain, but this has been the worst. I haven’t slept a full night for over a…

    I’m giving up on NaNo.  It may be that I’m pissed off there are only 10 days to go and I haven’t written a single word on my supposed NaNovel in the past 5 days. I’m on day 11 or 12 of this migraine (because time is now irrelevant) and that means I flamed out around 6 or 7 days into it.  Also, there is something very honest about pain.  It makes you sort out priorities. I love to read.  Love it, love it, love it.  Actually, I should say I love to read books that I like. Many of my favorite authors are still writing books and every so often when I’m caught up…
