"Just passed the 30 years mark for living with Intractable New Daily Persistent Headache/ Migraine disease! I'm blessed to have settled with my providers on a cocktail of four meds (abortive, anti-seizure, muscle relaxant and opioids) which keep the symptoms from surfacing as they used to for so long. That's of course after removing all known triggers (I experienced most of the common ones). Further helped by retiring 8 years ago, earlier than planned. And then in the last 2-3 years, quitting all social media. I have a Pastor's heart (4 generations starting with my grandfather, then my dad, myself and for some years now, my daughter), and I can't turn it off, so I had to get out of social media. Kind of a recluse now. Though grateful for a supportive wife and best friend. And thankful for our God who loves us with abandon. And promises to create good out of the hellish world we live in. Not just someday, but also in the present (even though we might not always perceive it). As the good book says, “Faith enables us to be confident of what we hope for, and assures us about things we cannot see.” [Heb 11:1]"
