I'm new to this disease but keeping up my workouts have helped tremendously. I instruct spin classes and haven't missed one yet. The endorphins numb any pain I might have on that day and for that hour, with the loud music (all of my choosing), high heart rate, sweat dripping, smiles in the room, I escape from this awful disease and am doing good for my body :).
How wonderful, the power of prayer is incredible. Long may you be pain free.

I could not be happier. After 8 months of regular, horrible, stabbing pains in my forehead and 3 months of intermittent pain, I am now in complete remission and been completely weaned off of both of my anti-seizure meds. 10 days totally drug-free and no symptoms. Med side affects are 98% gone. My local neurologist and Mayo neurologists have no logical explanation but I certainly don't care. I AM SO HAPPY TO BE NORMAL AGAIN! Maybe all the prayers from a lot of people helped! Good luck to those reading this. I will pray for you.
My lovely dog Tommy always knows when I feel poorly, he dosn't leave my side and has been cuddled up to me all day. He always makes me smile.
No migraine today YESSSS'!!!!!! ^_^
Happy for everyone who is pain free today! Going out to dinner tonight with friends who understand my potential pain status.
It is minus 4 this morning! Yay.....we will have enough ice to build our annual Ice Palace in time for Winter Carnival in Saranac Lake!!
How large is the Ice Palace? I've never been to a Winter Carnival - sounds like fun!
I've started running again.And swimming.Due to injury last march the cycling is still tricky.Feeeeeeels soooooo goooood.
Not sure I'll do long distance again but I'll be Very Happy to get fit.(Might think about the Irom man when I make it fit)!
I'm not going to be defeated.
positive thing today is a friend came and painted a room in my house yesterday and it looks awesome...time to redecorate whoot whoot :)

I like this. My positive for the day is spending this wonderful day with my husband and 3 kids. I've had NO pain today thus far and if I do who cares. Tonight we will be with my parents, sister, brother, and their families and it will be even more perfect!
my positive for the day is I joined a new gym and I am going everyday I can to make new friends and make me feel better. I feel so good when I walk in it is a beautiful healing atmosphere.
My daughter and 3 grandchildren are alive! Traumatised but alive. I am so grateful I want to cry.
The Ice Palace ranges in size depending on the amount of ice we get. It usually always has a maze in the back and then some fun Winter Carnival themed art. This year's theme is "Under the Sea".

D s m. I must have missed a post. So good your family is ok. Can you say what happened?
Iām in a great mood today because I think my new compounded cream Is helping a little and I think the acupuncturist I saw today has great potential.
For the first time in many many many months, I feel some hope.
Got my post-MVD pain meds refilled on a holiday today (SHEW made me nervous there)
Hi, we live in an extremely violent country. She had a home invasion - as the Americans so quaintly put it. She survived a brutal beating and attempted strangulation interrupted when the neighbours came to her rescue. Didn't want to go into details cos Ben said no negative stuff. But she's fine and the kids are seeing a counsellor. So we are trusting God to put it all into the Sea of Forgetfulness for them. Thanks for your wishes.

Oh my D s m. Thank goodness your daughter and her family are ok. A miracle and a blessing.
Thank you so much
Bitter cold weather is no longer the scary affair that is usually is, because my wonderful husband had a wood burning stove installed in our basement. It is glorious heat and makes my face feel so much better. Thank you, God for giving me such a blessing in my dear husband.
