lovenlife's Profile

Feeling: Good  - Good
Gender: Male
Age: 46
Location: MT
Interests:
There are several. Photography, Astronomy. Spending time in the Mtn's. is also a wonderful time. I am just lucky living next door too Glacier National Park. I love playing my flute. I love learning new music. Jazz, Classical, R&R. I am doing better at "getting" this computer, and not toss it out the 2nd. story window.
About Me:
Have had seizures from the 4th. grade. Currently under fair control. My true friends are soooo good to me. With a loving hug, or a kind and soft hand an my back. I will hear "Are you OK today"? There are a few times that one dosn't want to let go. She is a true friend. My drivers licence is under suspention because of seizure activity. When we get this to settle down I'll get it back. Along with a lot of freedom. I no longer work, after 3 back surgeries. I think it is a real male sort of thing. However, after a bit of time I was able too get over that fact of my life. Work and money, is not what, or who I am. Because of strong sponsorship, lots of service work. I have been sober in A.A. since 5/1/92. The world is a better place because of it.

 Alcoholism
I drank till just after my 30th birthday. I knew something was wrong when boogie men came out of the walls and started chasing me around my house. Oh my, could it be the booze? Drinking a bottle of Gin every day is not helpful.

Sober in AA from 5/1/92. AA works. Will you work the steps? I no longer live on Vodka 7's, or Gin and Tonic. The obsession passed.

 Migraine Headaches
I had a Doctor of Neurology ask me if I ever get headaches? I described 4 of them. He just said "Thats a Migraine. Thats a Migraine. etc, etc", I have always had them after a Seizure. But I don't need one of thoes to bring one on. They like to just show-up whenever. The full blown ones really take the energy out of me :-( Ugggg.... 
Treatments
 Maxalt (Working / Worked)
10mg tabs. If I catch it early, this is a big help.
