It took me quite a while to accept and manage my chronic pain, but believe me it does become easier!<br />I'm not sure if you'd be interesting in some supportive reading material, but there's a book I read when I was struggling which helped me get my head around the pain and learn how to manage myself and regain something of a normal lifestyle. It's called 'Manage Your Pain' by Dr. Michael Nicholas and a few other doctors. <br />Thinking of you,<br />HannahHannahhttp://vintagelanestitches.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179563292110008972.post-19346556143782346752012-10-05T23:15:41.748+10:002012-10-05T23:15:41.748+10:00What a great idea to have a seed wallet.

There's a long story, but the short version is: I tried a gluten free diet on the off-chance and noticed a difference in two days. Within a week I was migraine-free, and now get them rarely (every 2-3 months & less severe). I have to make sure I don't have even the tiniest crumb or smear of gluten (different chopping boards, toaster pockets to "protect" my toast, etc) but I can't tell you the difference it's made. I've since heard that a high percentage of chronic headaches are triggered by gluten but this seems to be just anecdotal so not much attention is given to it by the medical profession. From my experience, a week's trial on GF would help you find out (research it first though).<br /><br />BTW, I found you after researching patterns. I was checking my designs were suitably different from others out there and yours intrigued me - very different from mine but I absolutely love your work.<br /><br />Best wishes to you both!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383618809187116026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179563292110008972.post-24586596817396234762012-09-26T21:23:09.419+10:002012-09-26T21:23:09.419+10:00Just lovely Ros, and congrats on another entry in ...Just lovely Ros, and congrats on another entry in Homespun :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179563292110008972.post-41173784737831620402012-09-26T20:29:18.371+10:002012-09-26T20:29:18.371+10:00I've been a while away from Blogland, so sorry...I've been a while away from Blogland, so sorry to hear about your daughter.

Very kind of you to comment on the font - did you hear my scoffing?! The 'script' is a variation of my own scrawl. Interestingly, I got myself into a bit of trouble with a design once because I used a 'free' font sourced online. These days it is safer to use my own handwriting, scrawly as it might be!

The diagnosis could have been so much worse. Just need to make sure we have plenty of patience and encouragement for her stored up in the tanks. It's going to be a long haul.

No solution, except to keep him quiet (easily done with the pain) and fairly dark room. Much like we do today for migraines I suppose. The good news for him was that as the years went, so did the head aches! He still gets some to this day, but usually he says it is caused by work stresses and dead lines. My heart goes out to your girl...hopefully over time they will subside some..
