Hi guys! I just wanted to give you an update on what’s happening with me migraine wise. I still have one, although it’s not quite as bad. It was a 10+ and now it’s down to a 7 or 8. My Dr. just started me on a new medication so I’m hoping that kicks in soon. I’m going to try to start catching up with everyone’s blogs and doing some new book reviews but it may be a little slow going over the next few days. Just writing up the review for Winter Of The Gods made the pain increase, so I’m going to tread carefully until this thing is gone. I really want to thank all of you for your support and well wishes. I can’t tell you what it means to me, and I hope you don’t mind bearing with me a little longer. I’m going to go find an ice pack right now, but I want you to know how much I appreciate you!

I get migraines occasionally and it’s like hell; I’m so sorry you’re suffering such a terrible one.
I’m sending all the positive vibes your way and hoping the new meds bring the pain under control and eventually get rid of it all together.
Take a break (looking at computer screens when I have a migraine makes mine worse too). We’ll still be here when you get back 🙂

I’m so sorry!
I’m personally packing for my move to Florida…I haven’t been able to finish my books and I’m SO BEHIND on my blogging and reviews. So I know how it feels to be unable to do what we love. I’ve never had migraines but I hear they are incredibly painful and it’s hard to function. Love to you! 😘🤗

I am sorry you still haven’t gotten rid of it completely. I suffer from really severe headaches but I do t think they would be classified as migraines but I know when I get one of those it is hard for me to do anything on the computer or read or anything so get yourself better before trying to jump back in to blogging. I hope the new medicine works and gets rid of it completely.

Thanks Tamara! I’m sorry you had a few also. I’ve had so many people in my life say “can’t you just take an aspirin or some Tylenol?” They don’t realize that getting a migraine feels like being hit with a sledgehammer while at the same time having a hot poker shoved in your eye. Oops! Sorry for the graphic imagery!😕
