When the world feels cold and harsh and scary, I h When the world feels cold and harsh and scary, I have these people to bring the warmth and peace and gentleness. I am so grateful for them. For without them, I don’t know where I would be. 💕
Remember how I announced I was feeling better from Remember how I announced I was feeling better from the flu? Well, I spoke too soon. It's been a rough week of coughing so hard that my throat hurts, my muscles hurt, and I'm not getting much sleep because the coughing is keeping me up. It's not juicy, it's not scary, I'm not afraid I need to see the doctor - it's just that I'm miserable, and that stinks. (it's a long-lasting one with everyone in the family who caught it, too.)

The weather today was perfectly perfect. My favorite, 60 degrees, and sunny and breezy. Dash went for a 3-hour bike ride all over the place and had a blast. He got home and we took a long walk around the neighborhood with Charlie. I somehow had the energy even though I'm fatigued from being sick - I think it was just the weather and nature that made me feel alive. 

I took time for art making this afternoon - it was so nice. Relaxing yet energizing at the same time. 

I've had Terry Mayfield @terrymmayfield on my mind today. One day she was living her chronic Lyme life like me and the next she passed away from the same disease I have. (She had a seizure and her heart couldn't recover this time.) It's hit me pretty hard. 

Every time someone in the Lyme community dies it does. So much still needs to be done and changed within our community in treatment, testing, etc. It's all so sad to me that she was only 55 and is now no longer here with us.

I am naturally the type of person to find the good in my life, in my day, and see the blessings. I soak up my days and my life. Yet, I feel I should do it even more than I do - IDK, my mortality and all kinda staring me in the face, I guess. The older I get, the more I realize that every day I wake in the morning is a blessing and not to take that for granted. 

Anyway, deep stuff but what has been on my heart these days.
You guys, I'm so excited! Why? My new HSA card is You guys, I'm so excited! Why? My new HSA card is accepted at Cefaly and I FINALLY, after at least a year of wanting to try this natural preventative and acute treatment for migraine, am able to give it a whirl for the 90-day money-back period. I really hope I see some relief with it!

For those of you who do find relief, is it mostly on the prevent setting or acute setting that you've seen work best for you?

As most of you know, my monthly injection for prevention isn't working as well as it was and I really would prefer a more natural route to go along with my acute pain meds - if I need them. 

I'm not against meds at all. I'm so grateful for them. But, if I can find a way to keep from needing them as much as I do, that would be ideal. 

Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers that this works. If not, I'll return it and maybe give Gammacore a try. 

So, ya, if you feel comfortable telling me your experience with Cefaly, either in messages or here, I'd love to hear it. 

I prefer to hear how it works best for you - acute or preventative. 

Thanks so much!

Signed,
Migraine mama (lol)
Beautiful day for a beautiful day. Beautiful day for a beautiful day.
