Okay... Time to say something positive... I can find joy in the midst of pain. Migraines are forcing me to make changes, make concessions, …

About Me
I am 27 years old, married with one child (3) and two step children (13, 9). I have been through what some would call a lot, and what others would call a walk in the park compared to their lives. I used to be very quiet, almost recluse, but now have "broken out" a little bit. My husband is my soul mate, and has been instrumental in helping me get where I am now. I have a few close friends, who support and love me and one "best" friend who knows me and loves me in spite of that knowledge. All in all, I would say I am blessed.
Interests
Books by classic authors like Dickens, C.S. Lewis, Austen, Melville, Alcott, Tolkein, and more recently, J.K. Rowling (I have no doubt she'll be referred to as a classic author one day). I also love to play softball and sports in general. I love my church.

I’m With You
I read your post pertaining to grieving following an abortion. First of all, let me say to you that I am so sorry for all of the pain you've had to endure. I have never had an abortion so I cannot relate to the feelings of grief that follow something like that but I have miscarried. I miscarried my fifth child nearly ten months ago. In the early stages of my grieving I was sent a wonderful book through Focus On The Family called "I'll Hold You In Heaven" by Jack Hayford. It deals with the loss of babies due to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and yes, abortion and it's dealt with sensitively and lovingly. I believe it would do you a world of good to read it. Honey, don't think for one moment that you don't have the right to grieve because you do. I read what you wrote and I didn't get the sense of someone who was looking for a "quick fix". I sensed someone who was scared and did what she thought was right at the time. I also sensed someone with a loving heart. You have every right to grieve and to mourn! You have a friend right here in me!

Support Groups
Close Step Families
I have two stepkids, a girl and a boy, 14 & 10.
Close Sexual Abuse
I was abused by different men from age 4 to 19.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Not Working
- It made me feel worse. One on one is much better.
- Talking Working / Worked
- This helps more than anything for me. It's hard at first, but it gets easier the more you do it.
Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Was diagnosed with PTSD in '02, when I attempted suicide and told about my grandfather, stepfather, bio father, and mom's ex boyfriend and things they did.
Open Migraine Headaches
I've had migraines on and off since I was 14. Now I have them almost everyday w/ seizure & stroke like symptoms and auras that inhibit my vision.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- Swore off caffeine. Very difficult, but I have noticed some improvement. Also limit the chocolate I eat. Also very difficult!
- Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
- I went six times at $50 a "pop." After the last, he said he couldn't help.
- Maxalt Somewhat Helpful
- Use as abortive, but as it's $50 for nine pills only once a month, I don't use it often.
- Naproxen Too Soon to Tell
- Dr said to take with the Maxalt at onset of migraine. Now if I just had the $$ to get my Maxalt!
- Topamax Not Working
- Am up to 100mg a day. The Dr said we could go up to 250mg before he wanted to try something else. Yea!
