I’ve been getting my migraines back again really bad and no matter what I eat or natural meds I take they’re just getting worse, so I broke down and went to the doctor for some prescription meds (which I hate taking at all) She gave me two samples of some meds she though would be good for my kind of migraines and WOW did they work good, it got rid of my migraine in one hour, praise the Lord. Normall they last between 12 hours and 2 days. So I go to get my prescription filled for more and I just about died of heart failure when the guy told me how much it was. It was $112 for only FIVE pills. What in the world are these things made of GOLD. There’s no way on earth we can afford them. We’re not on any insurance right now and wont be for another 6 months. I’m so disgusted I could cry. I even asked if there was a generic kind and of course there wasn’t. Five will last me about 2 weeks at most!!! GRRRRR now I know why I hate the drug companies so much. It’s all about the money for them that’s for sure. Hubby keeps telling me he’ll do whatever he can to make sure I have them but I don’t want him stressing out about being able to afford them for me all the time. sigh. Guess I’m stuck with my migraines for life. Oh well.

Hi Tina! I just ran onto your web site and I must say, you are blessed with a creative gift! It is the most beautiful site I’ve ever been on! I love the fall colors you have! I would like to get one of my own but I don’t know the first thing about it! Do you ever sell your artwork to other web sites? I do have a blog at Xanga, and I’m still trying to figure that one out! Anyway, I know what you mean about the migraines! I’m 51, pre-menopausal, and they are becoming a once a month event! I also don’t like drug companies.. haven’t been to a doctor for ages, except our chiropractor, and he treats us nutritionally as well. It sounds like your migraines are a bit more severe than mine at this point, but I have noticed if I eat certain foods it can aggravate it more…especially cheese products! I’ve also been told it most likely is a hormonal thing. I have found a retired OBGYN who now treats pre-menopausal and menopausal women naturally, and I’ll be seeing him soon. He helped a dear friend of mine that has had the same problems..she even lost all the middle-age weight once he regulated her hormones! Can’t wait for that! Another tip is that I also use Lavender and Peppermint essential oils..just put a few drops on your temples. It seems to help me, and I don’t like taking Ibuprophen or any other “over the counter” medicine if I can avoid it! I just can’t believe how much 5 pills cost! I don’t even think gold costs that much! (My husband is a coin dealer!) That’s one reason I’ve treated my family naturally, it is expensive! I came upon a great book: “Prescription for Nutritional Healing”, by Drs. Phyllis & James Balch. It is very informative and has helped us a great deal! Check it out, and do some research on pre-menopausal symptoms…migraines are definitely one of them! In the meantime, you have a great day, and if you’d like to visit my blog, e-mail me and I’ll send you my blog name. God Bless you, Tina, and I’ll keep you in my prayers that God will guide you and give you wisdom as to how to treat your migraines..I know they are NO fun at all! I’ll look forward to hearing from you and visiting you often! ~ Deborah ~ “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”. Proverbs 3:5,6 “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.” Psalm 32:8

Hi Tina… I’m so sorry I haven’t gotten back to you sooner! That’s my comment above, (or below, depending on how this shows up when I submit it) and I hope you remember me! We’ve written a couple of times to each other through email..then my computer lost everything, and I shared that with you as well, and I still haven’t recovered everything, but we are working on it! I’m hoping you remember me! I really enjoyed hearing from you, and I’m hoping we can resume our Internet friendship! I’ve been pretty ill this winter, but I think I’m on the mend! I hope you are doing well! Since we last spoke, my son introduced me to a “weblog” site, so I started one myself! It’s basically a web site, and I’m still trying to figure out how to place things on it…they have certain ways of doing things, but other people have figured out how to add fun things to theirs! I’d love any tips you could give me! I’d also love to be a member to your site! I’ll send you my web address by email if you’d like to come by for a visit, but it’s nothing like yours…I just love what you’ve done here, and I love the Christmas graphics you used! It is fun working on them, isn’t it! Just terribly time consuming…but still so much fun.. :0) We are getting a lot of snow right now here in Indiana, and more for the next 3 days…I’m loving it! I’m a WINTER Girl! How is your weather out where you are? And how are those migraines you were having? I’ve been getting them from time to time, and they are no fun! I know we talked about those in our email a few months back! I just noticed it was in October that I commented here!! Time flys doesn’t it?!! It just seems like last week that I wrote to you! I won’t let that much time pass again, now that I’m beginning to feel better! I’ve had bronchitis..a pretty severe case of it! It takes time to recover, and I know of others here that have had it as well! I’ll look forward to hearing from you, Tina, and please let me know how you’re doing! You have a wonderful, blessed week! We’re going to enjoy our quiet snowfall…it’s so beautiful here right now! We’ll talk soon! (((Hugs))) ~Deborah
