Migraines...

Thanks. There have been moments in the last few days where I've seriously wondered if my vision is that important. A few years with small random migraines kills your tolerance for this crap.

P.S. Yahoo Mail is down, so that's why you have not heard from me.

I'm sorry to hear that you have to go through so much pain again in order to find a cure for your vision.
I hope time goes by fast so you can start the new meds.

Thanks. I had one good day yesterday and tried to get things done and woke up with one today. I so shouldn't be on here, it makes it worse and I know it, but it's this or listen to my mom read me stupid celebrity lists.
