Sometimes life presents situations you can’t get around. Sometimes you can only go through, dread growing along the way. It’s been that way around here for awhile.
Our daughter has been increasingly ill for years now, with ovarian cysts, worsening migraines, and now trigeminal neuralgia. She lives in a sea of pain with islands here and there to rest on. The islands are getting smaller and less frequent.
Soon she will leave for a headache/pain management hospital in Michigan where the staff will give her intravenous drugs to determine which mixture is most effective in treating the migraines. As you can imagine, we are hoping this experiment will enable her to reclaim her life.
Why am I writing about this now? To ask for your good vibes, prayers, and kind thoughts that Misty will get better. Sometimes just knowing people are hoping on your behalf can have a positive impact. I’m looking for all the positive I can find for my girl.
Peace, friends.

I have prayed for your daughter this day and hope for the best. Chronic pain is unimaginable. God bless you and your daughter.
Thank you so much.
I hope the clinic can provide answers and relief for all of you. Living for years with that kind of pain certainly drains enjoyment from a person. Good luck, Yvonne and Misti. My thoughts are with you.
Thanks, Jerry. Love you.
Oh my goodness. Many prayers are being sent to you, Misty & the kids.Miss you and sending much love your way.Barb

Thanks, Barb. Hope to see you one of these days.
Hugs and Prayers. Living with chronic pain is like trying to plan your life with a timerless timebomb strapped to your back. Two years ago I developed chronic migraines. After much meds and trial-and-error, giving up all forms of dairy moved me from 28 migraine days a month to 3-4. Working hard to find a way to be free. Praying the same for your daughter.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Nina. I’m so glad you’ve found some relief with the meds as well as going dairy-free. Misty improved some temporarily after going gluten free some years ago. The kickers now have been the worsening headaches following her hysterectomy, and the development of trigeminal neuralgia about five months ago. We’re hoping the Michigan folks will be able to come up with meds to help with the migraines, and then she’ll undergo surgery for the TN. More than anything I’d like to see her be able to resume even a semi-normal life for her sake as well as her kids. Thanks for your prayers. Now you’ve got some from me, along with some virtual hugs.
