I've had migraines since a childhood injury and what was diagnosed in the early 80s as "Juvenile Rhuemetoid Arthritis", which I "outgrew" mostly. As an adult, I had a few injuries that made the migraines worse and the "arthritis" as well. After years of pushing with work both conditions kept worsening. I got a new neurologist and he put me on every standard and experimental med they had... none worked for long and kept giving me other issues. I eventually got a good Rheumetologist and went through lots of tests and they determined I didn't show markers for Juv. Rheum. Arth. and after a ton of testing determined I had, and always had had, Fibromyalgia and they put me on pills and patches for a couple years until I took myself off them because they weren't helping. After another year or so, the Fibro subsided again and I just kept doing more stadol for the migraines. The company I worked for as an IT exec. was purchased by another, and they were purchased by a public company which owned a lot of smaller companies and suddenly I was in charge of 5 IT and development teams at 6 different companies and all were understaffed and undertrained. After 3 years of 18+ hours days 6 - 7 days a week, pain meds didn't work at all anymore for migraines and I collapsed from the fibro and spent the next couple of years mostly bedridden and fighting for disability. I finally won and moved to WA where MMJ is legal and am hoping that with enough time and care, maybe the fibro will ease back down and without all the work stress and the tropical allergies and heat and pollution, the migraines will ease back, but only time will tell on that one.
BTW, you're outside girls are lookin so sweet. I might not be able to handle the heat in the tropics anymore, but they sure seem to love your environment
