No way

No way! It has really been a year since my last post? Wowsa! If anybody is paying attention, I apologize. Much has happened since. I have a great new job and we finally got settled into our house. I do not know how we ever lived in apartments now, or how we bounced around every couple of years. My wife rocks for putting up with me, and for actually enjoying the "adventure." I love home ownership (or least that the bank lets me think I own it) and the idea of growing some roots. Also, I love our church. What a joy to be a Methodist, I had no idea.

Anyway, in the time since I last wrote, all the activity on the blog has been folks posting about their experiences with Lamictal. I really feel compelled to promote this medicine, though still off label, for the treatment of migraine (I am not an MD and please do not construe this as medical advise). Even though I no longer take it, I credit the use of this medication for getting me out of the constant migraine cycle I used to be in. I still get migraines (as there is no cure), but they occur maybe 5 times per year and with much less severity than ever before. That is so much better than 2-3 per week with horrific pain. I feel for anyone living in pain, and with the other accouterments of migraine. I feel truly blessed that the abortives (triptans) work well for me and that I found a caring specialist (Dr. William Young in Philly) to get me on the Lamictal path and back to living life, instead of just skirting agony.

Please feel free to post your experiences with Lamictal for the treatment of migraine. I plan to make some modifications to the blog so that this can be a greater emphasis of what you may find at Migrainiously Yours. And maybe I will write more often . . . .
