I Am So Proud to be a Published Researcher!
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be published in science journals. I had hoped to have music published, and I do, but this is a major accomplishment in my life!

I have a hard time observing the National Day of #TruthandReconciliation, not because of what it signifies, but because most people observe it as a holiday.

I've had an Intractable Migraine for 2638 days! I've tried every CGRP, DHE, Eastern medicine, & lifestyle changes. What seems to be working is nearing menopause.
My question is, has anyone heard or have access to literature on the positive effects of nicotine patches on migraines? Just had to ask🤗
