Married/no kids, 7th grade middle school teacher, big fan of Ohio State, very close w/ husband and family. Chronic headaches for over 3 years after a URI.

No pain relief since Feb. 27, 2005.
My husband, friends, family, teaching, OSU sports, Redskins Football, playing sports (soccer, softball, basketball before head pain), skiing, jeep wranglers, and hopefully one day....being pain-free!

I miss you to but I know you have so much on your plate. I did some working this week myself. It was tough but I got through it. I think you've done the hardest part getting the classroom ready. The next couple of weeks will be difficult getting a new class used to you. I know my sister goes through that. Try to take it easy on this long weekend and let me know how it goes when you get a chance. Positive thoughts and prayers being sent your way..Great big hugs also..Dawn
good afternoon..doing lots of work i see getting that classroom ready..i hope the school year goes well for you..i'll be thinking of you..
Hey girl! I started school on Monday, but not as a teacher. I hope that the students are understanding and helpful to you. It is scary to do things that you know will make you hurt more, but WE can do it! I am on your side girl. Let me know if you ever need anything. Love ya lots! *Bear Hugs*
good morning hon..won't be on ds very much for the next week..my daughter and little granddaughter are coming for a visit..i will check in once a day..so leave a message if you need anything..hope things are going well for you..i'll be thinking of you..
Mild case of Chiari, not enough to perform surgery. Been in constant, chronic, daily headpain for over 3 years. Nothing helps. Doctors cannot figure out what will help. I just got diagnosed with Chiari last week (3 years, 4 months, and 19 days later) and am going crazy. It's nice to have a diagnosis, but they can't do anything about my CONSTANT PAIN!
I've been in constant head-pain since Feb. 2005 (chronic headache). I am so tired of it. I feel like it's running my life. I'm not the person I used to be. I try to stay positive and upbeat, it takes so much energy. It's getting really old! I need help, how do I deal with this?
