Having had migraines since the age of 16, I don't think there is a medication I haven't tried. One particullarly nasty spell in college left me with a migraine for 10 months, and I had tried 27 different medications in that time. For the past several years I was seeing a doctor that I adored, as she listened, explained what she was prescribing and why, and laughed at all of my stupid jokes.

After moving to Colorado, the task of finding all new doctors is time consuming. I finally found a neurologist to treat my migraines, and what he told me after my first visit taught me more about my headaches than I had previously known. What was most interesting though, is his plan for treatment. For the past 15 years, not a day has gone by that I haven't taken some sort of medication to treat my headaches. This is all about to change. My doctor s taking me off of all of the medications I take, except for the birth control. Yes, I have already made all the jokes I can think of about lesbians taking birth control. The process however, is a touch rough. I have barely slept in several days, and has probably lost 5 pounds of water weight from sweating so damn much. If this is what a drug addict goes through coming off of stuff, my heart goes out to them. I know ultimately on the other side of this I will be a much healthier person, but the journey, well, it should make for some interesting blogging.

In other news, I started classes towards my MBA. It should be another interesting trek. The plans are in the works for our Cleveland trip. It looks like it's going to be about a week. Fire up the bbq's and bring on the good times! Chrsitine will be working for most of the trip, I will most likely set up shop in a coffee house and study a whole bunch.
