Don't donate your body to science without doing your research please. For your family's sake, if not for yours. It's an absolute horror show beyond belief.

Have my second appointment with the MCAS specialist today. I am so nervous. I feel like I've done so much work on medical trauma in therapy but I guess I have a lot more to do. I'm so scared of being told it's in my head or not getting anymore meds that have been helping me. ☹️

Great talk between Cannon Hodge (MigraineBabe) and Dr Lauritsen about allodynia and migraine. Included discussion on meds and neuromodulation devices that may help. #MigraineChat

It is so challenging getting things done when you feel like crap all the time. I really need to pick my car up today from the mechanic but lordy. 😭

My relative is going through a bad depressive episode. His psychiatrist is completely incompetent. Twice in one week the Dr told my relative to change his dosage on his meds. Both times the "new" dose is the dose my relative is already on. How does the Dr not know what he is prescribing?! 🤬

Shocking thing I said today, "I forgot how amazing steamed vegetables were." What have I become? I do miss a lot of food I can't eat anymore, but it's weird how much I've grown to enjoy new food. 🤔

Please share this excellent essay with a young (or maybe not so young) person that hasn't gotten the encouragement they need.
Today's Love Letter comes from the always-wonderful Mark Oshiro. It is a Love Letter to the motivating, bolstering, sustaining power... of spite.

I hate dealing with home repair people when I have a moderate migraine attack, dizzy as heck, and generally feel like crap.

I am super dense. The frequency of my moderate and severe #migraine attacks has gone up about 50% because a loved one has developed bad depression. It took me weeks to figure this out. My level of denial cracks me up sometimes. 😅

Just like a river, which may flow gently and at other times surge into turbulent rapids, migraine can shift from manageable or barely noticeable to overwhelmingly severe without warning. Calm, strength, struggle, and change are all natural parts of the journey. Where are you?
