    • Close Step Families

      I just recently got married Easter weekend 2007. My husband has been married twice, I make wife number three. He has a 10 yr old son that he has custody of. I hit the ground running two days after I got married. I was thrust into the role of wife and step-mother all at once. So far, I see very few boundaries and rules for the child and it contradicts what I know about children and their need for boundaries. Our current challenge is coming together on rules and boundaries for his son.

    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I started getting migraines about 10-15 years ago. I have tried everything from ergotomine to demerol to topamax. My main triggers are hormones, tar or any LOUD smell even if it is a good smell; heat, and nitrates. Heat and smells seem to create the worst migraines to where I am sick and in pain for three days. I am currently trying Cymbalta combined with Maxalt
