Apologies for my long silence on this blog. My thoughts are not to abandon it, but I've been recouping since my PFO closure on December 1st, 2009, and now I am back after a few months' rest and ready to tackle migraine topics again.
My silence in the community hasn't been on purpose. I am trying to figure out my place in all of this. My migraines are not 100% cured, but they are much, much better than they were before. As of this writing, I have not had a migraine since the 18th of this month.
My migraines are still largely menstrual in scope. My menstrual migraines start a cascade effect of other migraines that last long after my cycle has ended for the month. Otherwise, eventually things calm down and I go through low-pressure triggered migraines more than anything.
So, the past few months have been up and down in terms of migraine activity. In February I thought I was back to square one. This month, I feel more positive about the PFO closure in terms of success. I am working out more often and have even lost some weight since my last post...I am urging my husband out the door for more activity too so I have gained some aspects of my life back. I have more energy and I sleep less.
Unfortunately some articles have come forward that frown upon PFO closure for migraine-cessation purposes. In the coming week I will post the articles and my reactions to them. The sole purpose of this post is to make an update and let everyone know I am still around and I still care about my friends in the migraine community. So I will do my best here in the upcoming weeks to lend my support and return to a position where I can be supportive.
