    Thank you! I love the hopeful message - and even the use of us/we/our from people who are experts AND survivors makes such a difference! So validating to know people get it.

    I have also had migraines all my life and other family members as well. The migraines have been bad enough but what I experience from employers either not believing me when I’m in this pain or plainly angry with me because I’m having one. I want to shut down that factory

    Lindsay I would love to hear how you went from chronic to episodic! Do you already have something released on this topic?

    Great as always, thanks. I know there aren’t many studies but could you please cover long term consequences of anti CRGP meds, I am chemically sensitive and have noticed I have a lot of side effects but it’s the major stuff -cardiovascular/wound healing etc that I am concerned about. Thanks
  • This helped but I’m about to give up tried the cocktail my pain specialist had me take and I was worse almost like the first one I had 15 years ago so I too my butalbatol which she wants me not to take

    I don’t understand why you don’t talk about food allergies there’s cheese that can trigger it oxygen therapy can help it, and all kinds of other things
