Today's flare-up is brought to me by my brother. I am thisclose (not a typo, it's intentional) to cutting him out of my life completely.

I HURT. There's no getting around that. After nearly two straight weeks where I haven't missed a single dose of Topamax, a migraine broke through last night. I was waiting for it. I expected it. It wasn't nearly as bad as a migraine without a preventive in my system, but after almost two weeks with … Continue reading Irritability Isn’t Cute

Friday morning I stated that I'd rest this weekend and get things done inside my home, as much as humanly possible.
