I have so much to be thankful for! Not only have I been blessed with an amazing
family, a beautiful home, the career of my dreams, great friends, but I have
been blessed with the gift of LIFE!
I BELIEVE IN GOD'S HEALING POWER
Many reading this know about my health struggles over the
years and bout with ovarian cancer. However even though I rejoice knowing God removed
the cancer from my body, I have another blessing to share.
Migraines have been a nuisance most of my life. The last six to seven years they have pretty
much consumed my life, robbing me of so many important moments.
Besides praying to God for relief and healing, I have seen
countless doctors, tried pretty much every drug on the market, remedies, physical
therapy, and even a chiropractor to no avail.Approximately 90% of each month is spent dealing with these migraines and
their aftermath.
A few weeks ago, (Sunday, March 14th to be exact)
I woke up with my ears starting to ring, my mind was foggy, I was seeing
strobing lights, and the anxiousness began.I knew what was coming, another migraine.
This Sunday was different…With the migraine brewing, I still went to church. During the beginning
of the worship service my mind was wandering.As we were singing “Ever Be” I struggled focusing on the words and God’s
presence…All I could think about was the
need to schedule an appointment with my neurologist (it had been some time
since my last appointment).I was
thinking maybe there was something new she could try. (I was at my breaking point again.)After a few minutes of being distracted I finally
was able rein in on the service.
One of the last songs of the service was “See a Victory”.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a dear
friend (who is one of the church’s prayer warriors) walking towards me.She stopped and put her arm around me. With tears in her eyes and an excited (yet
shaking) voice says to me, “I do not normally do this, but I feel God pushing me
to.I feel he is telling me that today
is the day! As of today, your migraines are going to be gone! “
As crazy as it may sound to some of you, I chose to believe that God healed me that day! I believe this healing was granted due to not only my faith to believe in his healing abilities but also the faith of this dear prayer warrior. She had to to put her trust in Him to come out of her "comfort zone" and take an uncomfortable step of faith and share what God put on her heart.
Sometimes it just takes those little steps of faith!
Little did she know that I had a migraine brewing that
morning.She did not know that I was sidetracked during
the beginning of the service dwelling on what I needed to do to prevent them. The rest of the week I was exhausted and went
to bed early.My vision went crazy one day
(as it does many times before a migraine attack) but only for a few moments,
still NO Migraine!
I have been migraine free for almost a MONTH!I cannot tell you when the last time was that
I went a month without a migraine. What a blessing!!!God is good!
I Finally Got My "YES"!
Was it the prayer warrior(s) that healed me?No.God
is the one who heals!
Does God listen to our prayers and those prayer warrior’s
prayers?Yes!
Does God always answer prayers?YES!
However, sometimes those answers are not
always "Yes".There are times that he
tells us "No" or to "Wait"!
For years I have wondered why these migraines have plagued
my life?I even had a family member tell
me that I had cancer and that God was not healing me of the migraines because I
probably did not pray enough and needed to pray more.
Did I not pray enough? Could I have prayed more?Of course I prayed and could have prayed more, but can’t we all pray more?That person
never walked in my shoes and never should have made a claim like this.Little did they know, God was answering my
prayers at that moment; he answered by saying “Wait!”.It
is God’s timing not mine.
Do I believe I was healed? Yes, I do!
Do I believe that I will never have a migraine again?I have faith that they will
never return.But if they do, having a
month or more of this “Clarity” has already been such a GIFT!I believe I am healed! Although, if God chooses to allow the migraines to
return, I must trust he has his reasonings and he is still working. He never promised that life would be easy, if it was we would forget about him and all he has done.
If you are going through a dark valley, turn to God.Do not listen to the devil’s lies.Do not let people pull you down with their opinions
on why you are struggling. Just remember
that God will never leave you.We may
not understand why God will not move the mountains that we want him to move. We must remember He has a plan and knows what is best for us.
A few weeks ago, I received a brochure for Sight
and Sound Theaters. As I opened the brochure, I realized that Esther
would be performed in Lancaster this Spring. Over the years we have seen
many shows at Sight & Sound Theater, all have been amazing! Esther
coming to Sight & Sound had me ecstatic!
I placed this brochure where Jas would obviously
see it. When I saw he moved the brochure, I would re-open it move it back
into plain sight. He obviously was not getting my subtle hints so I had
to resort to telling him much I would love to see the show & how it would
be a wonderful anniversary gift. FINALLY, after a couple weeks he ordered
the tickets.
Proverbs 12:25 NIV An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 our anniversary
trip was postponed. I must admit I was/am a little saddened about not
being able to go. I got to thinking
about how selfish I was being and how many people have much more to complain
about.The whole world is suffering; it
isn’t just about ME.
If you are like me, you have lots to think about
isolated in your home.I am trying not
to be anxious but the thought of temporarily shutting down my store and how to
handle this situation, the kids being at home stressed over the thought of not
going back to school, not being able to see family or friends other than the video
chats (at least we have this), and of course the possibility of the virus hitting
home are just some of the worrisome thoughts that have stricken me.
Whining to myself, three women’s names came to
me. Three women that back in January & February I had a desire to re-read
about them and watch videos/movies on their lives.If you
asked me to pick a female hero, I would have a difficult time deciding which of
these three it would be.These three women didn’t not make it a habit
to complain about their hardships, they all trusted God to get them through the
trials and despair. Who were these women? Queen Esther, Harriet Tubman, and
Corrie ten Boom.
Queen Esther
Esther is one of my favorite books of the Bible.
From the time I was a small child, I just loved to hear the story of Esther and
how she risked her life for her people. If you were to open my Picture Bible to
the section about Queen Esther it would be one of the most worn selections.
As a child, I would even imagine myself as Esther when the book was read, or I
would watch cartoon about her.
Reading the book of Esther, you learn that not
only was Esther beautiful, she was loving and loyal!
Throughout the book of Esther, God’s name is not
mentioned but you see God working through the smallest details and he never
abandoned anyone. (Just some examples of these details:Esther being a Jewish orphan and raised by Mordecai. King Xerxes kicks his queen out for not obeying his order &
searches for a new queen. Esther is sent away with other eligible women
in the land she won the kings
favor.Nobody realizes that Esther is a
Jew including her new husband & his advisers. Esther risked her life (for
her people) by trusting God and going in front of her king, King Xerxes,
without being invited (which could have gotten her killed being his queen or
not). Esther ends up foiling the plan of Haman (the kings top official) to persecute
the Jews.) and Mordecai becomes a top official for the king.
Esther’s story shows that when things seem
impossible, God can bring about freedom and even redemption!
Harriet Tubman
I was in third grade when I first learned about
Harriet Tubman. Our 3rd grade teacher read a book to us about her and I
was instantly fascinated by her and her bravery.
Harriet never turned her back on God or her
people. Born a slave she escaped to freedom following God’s
instructions. Many times, she could have been caught (especially since she
suffered from seizures) but God protected her & helped her escape. Not
only did she make it to freedom, she felt the calling to go back and help free more
slaves.
As part of the Underground Railroad, Harriet
received the nickname “Moses”. She made around 13 missions rescuing
around 70 enslaved people.
“Twant me, ‘twas the Lord! I always told him, ‘I
trust you. I don’t know where to go or what to do, but I expect you to
lead me,’ and He always did.” -Harriet Tubman
Through the toughest moments in time, Harriet
chose to follow God and trusted he was working through her and protecting her.
She could have let fear consume her, but she chose to look toward Christ.
Corrie ten Boom
When I was a child (even to this day) Corrie ten
Boom’s story has always fascinated me. I remember reading parts of her story
and her book “The Hiding Place” as a kid.But I felt compelled to re-read the book back
in February.
Through this book Corrie talks about her life as
a watchmaker. How she was the first woman licensed watchmaker in the Netherlands.
Corrie tells of how God used the smallest details (ex. her being a watchmaker)
to help her and her family save around 800 lives during the Nazi Holocaust
during WWII. Through this book, Corrie told how God helped her family
save these lives using something as small as lice to help Corrie and her sister
spread His love and to be thankful for everything including things we think are
terrible. There were so many times Corrie and her family could have
denounced Christ (especially being sent to the concentration work and death camps) but they remained strong & God’s light showed through the Ten Boom family.Through Corrie's biography you can see the many miracles God provided to help
Corrie and her family.
“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it
empties today of its strength”
- Corrie ten Boom
“Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts
whirling around a center of fear”- Corrie ten Boom
“It is not my ability, but my response to God’s
ability, that counts”- Corrie ten Boom
Thankful.
As I look at these three women, their story of
selflessness, courage, and strong trust in God through the biggest trials of
their lives as well as the lives of the world around them, it makes me admire
them all the more!
Right now, I (along with the millions of others) am sitting at home. My business (our livelihood) is temporarily closed (along
with millions of other non-essential businesses around the country); uncertain
to when we can re-open because of COVID-19. Our children are home from
school working on-line classwork, the grocery stores are fighting to keep the shelves stocked, healthcare
providers and facilities are struggling to keep above water, and the
country/world is in panic mode. Again, I admit I get anxious thoughts about
this uncharted territory, BUT I must trust that God will help us
get through!Just has God guided the hand of King Xerxes to
hold his scepter towards Queen Esther setting in place the deliverance of the Jews from persecution, as He guided Harriet to
freedom thenhelped her return to save others, and
as He helped Corrie and her family through the trials and tribulations they
encountered when the Nazis invaded Holland & being with them when they made the choice to
be selfless with helping their neighbors.
Yes, times are tough (not just for me but for
everyone) but already I am seeing in my life what is most important and how
blessed I am!
As I said a few times through this blog, I tend to find myself being more anxious the more I dwell on my anxieties about the
future; the news and social media are both overwhelming with their post.If you find yourself anxious or depressed,
try to limit these fears by limiting the news, limiting the social media posts,
and by thanking God for what we have as well as what we don’t have. Also
get out your Bible (if you don’t have one download one) and start reading, and
just pray.
Pray for you and your family, the people on the
frontlines (medical personnel, grocery store workers, those delivering your
packages and mail, etc.…)
Know you are loved and not alone!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 (KJV)
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)"
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:4-7 (NIV)"
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”Matthew 17:2 (NIV)
As I look at these three women, I am reminded that GOD is in control. With Him we don’t need to be anxious.
I have to remember to give thanks for what we have and what we
don’t have.
Reading List
While you are sitting at home with plenty of
time on your hands, I recommend some reading for you! This reading deals
with these three amazing ladies.I only
highlighted a few points of their amazing lives, but these stories really place
what is important into perspective!
The book of Esther (in the Bible between Nehemiah and
Job)
“Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman”,“Portrait of an American Hero” or “Harriet Tubman: The Road to
Freedom”
Yes, it is me Jackie…You probably forgot all about this blog of mine.I don’t blame you; it has been ages since I
have posted anything.There has been so
many times I have wanted to write but I tend to get sidetracked very easily.
Since my last post, our life has not changed too much.We keep ourselves very busy to the point it
is nice to be able to crash on the sofa and prop those feet up, this does not happen often. Our oldest daughter is
19!Ahh yes, how can we have a 19-year-old
now?Our two youngest are 13 and 11. I have a hard time fathoming this! Oh, we also have a new addition to our
family; meet Rosie Jackson!
After being told “NO!”and then Jason joking around saying “If you come up with the money you
can get her” I sold bunch of items on Marketplace.The next week (without Jason knowing), I just
went and had Rosie delivered to our house.
No, Rosie is not spoiled!Not at All!I don’t care what Jason
and Alex say or well anyone else, I DO NOT treat her like she is a baby 🤣😉.But lets just say if she is spoiled and treated like a
princess or baby, what is wrong with that?
Not only is Rosie the newest member of our family, but I am praying that we can work with her to become a certified therapy dog (or whatever you call it);I would love to be able to take her to some cancer awareness events, children's hospitals, schools, etc. It would be great to be able to help someone by bringing some joy to their day. So if you could pray about this, I would appreciate it! I would love any input as well!
Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
Can you believe it is end of September 2019?I can’t! Each year, September is recognized as Ovarian
Cancer Awareness Month.More than likely
you have been hit somehow by the big “C’; whether it was you personally, a spouse,
a family member, a friend.Like you, I
know many people around me that are/were impacted by cancer from my dad, other
family members, friends, and myself.Cancer does not discriminate!
Before I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, it never crossed
my mind that I would be told “you have cancer”.Yes, I would see all the ads at the doctor’s offices as well as
commercials etc. warning women about breast cancer and screening but I had never
heard anything about Ovarian Cancer.Now
that my eyes have been opened about ovarian cancer, I am amazed the number of women I know or have come across daily or even heard about on the news (for
example) that have been affected by it. Unfortunately, there is still minimal information circulating on women's cancers. Like me, many women know about Breast Cancer but they know nothing about some of the other female cancers like ovarian, uterine, and cervical (unless someone they know has gone through it or they have themselves have). I would probably say if you went and polled people on the street, most would know what pink awareness ribbon stands for and not many would know what the teal is for.
Ovarian cancer is considered a silent killer; unless there
is suspicion, there are no yearly tests or screenings proven to detect it.Unfortunately,
many times when women find out they have ovarian cancer, it is at the later stages.
Thankfully God knocked me down (literally) forcing me to
stop being stubborn and forcing me to see a doctor.I was one of the lucky ones; the cancer was discovered early.The process wasn’t easy on myself or my family
especially with the surgeries, the chemo treatments, and all the aftereffects
of the chemo.Even four years later, I still have testing to make sure I am still healthy, my family still has fear that it will return, I
am still saddened we can not have another baby (but
have come to grips with it).
Can you believe it has been four years since my initial
diagnosis?
I am heading towards my
fourth year of REMISSION!!!YEY!!! Thursday, I had another follow up with my
gynecological oncologist; all is great, I am still cancer free!I didn’t have any worries when I went to the appointment, but it always feels good leaving knowing that you are
still clear. God is good!
Four years later and this month reminds me of all I must be
thankful for.It reminds me to always trust God, God
teaching me that He is in control, life
is short & to make the best of it, that Jason and I still need to take time to “date”
each other (like we did with my weekly chemo trips less the chemo) , continue
spending time with family and friends, and ask for help when needed.
I do not care who you are, please be proactive! If you have been dealing with something for a couple weeks or more (it may not have to deal with cancer, it may
be some other medical issue you are having) listen to your body.Consult a doctor and continue to search for
the answers to what is going on.Do not give
up!
Ovarian cancer---symptoms from the NOCC website
Ovarian cancer is difficult to detect, especially in the early stages. This is partly due to the fact that the ovaries - two small, almond-shaped organs on either side of the uterus - are deep within the abdominal cavity. The following are often identified by women as some of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer:
Bloating
Pelvic or abdominal pain
Trouble eating or feeling full quickly
Feeling the need to urinate urgently or often
Other symptoms of ovarian cancer can include:
Fatigue
Upset stomach or heartburn
Back pain
Pain during sex
Constipation or menstrual changes
For more information on Ovarian Cancer visit the NOCC website /http://ovarian.org/
Our small town reminds me of "Mayberry". Five years, Twenty years, Thirty years go by and not much changes. The area of the town where I spend most of my time has a local corner store/restaurant which is the hotspot where the "locals" congregate daily for breakfast and lunch (we joke that if the town was completely snowed tunnels would be dug so the locals could all get there for breakfast). There are also banks, a jewelry store, a barbershop, our local "Macy's" (aka Goodwill), a coffee shop, a discount store, and a laundry mat... You know pretty much everyone you see on a first name basis in this town. There are so many "good" and caring people in this community that look out for one another. If there is someone "NEW" in the town they literally stick out. Like I said it is kinda like Mayberry.
The Window
There are many men and women in this community that I have really grown fond of that are true staples in the community! They are the people that really make a difference, if you don't see them out and about you miss them, they have made an impact in the town, and/or we me, you just know them because they would do anything for you. Many of these men and women have become friends and like family with us at the store and my family as well (I am sure others in this community).
The end of 2017 we lost one of our town's staples. I am so fortunate to have been able call him my friend. So many knew him and knew he was quite the character but unfortunately some who passed him by never got the pleasure to really know him. If you knew him, you knew that he told you like it was, he wouldn't hesitate to tell you if he didn't like something. He didn't like attention on him. He didn't pull any punches. A stubborn man was he (lol).
I loved to see him every day and sometimes numerous times a day. He would come over to tell us the days lunch specials and tease me by saying something like, "Baby Girl, today's special it is your favorite... Meat Loaf!" (you see he knows I don't like meatloaf, or shepards pie, or ribs, well anything like that, so he would love to mess with me). This man would also come in and hang out with us if he saw from his apartment window "a shady character" lurking outside our store (he had a direct view of our store, the bank, and barber shop from his window so he would keep an eye out for all "his girls". He got the nickname at the restaurant as "The Sheriff" so that kinda stuck as well). He would pop in our store from time to time and surprise us with our favorite chocolates or bring us drinks.
Last year on for my birthday, he went out of his way to SURPRISE ME with a lemon meringue pie. He had it specially made for me because he knew it was one of my favorites. When he walked up to the store to pick it up, it wasn't ready! Well that didn't go well for the ladies at the bakery... Granted, I got my lemon meringue pie with a funny story with it. Haha!!!
I wonder how many knew that when no one was watching (in the mornings or near dark) he would water the flowers in the town square's flower beds (I know we all sign up to water them in the summer but I am sure there are times they are forgotten or they may still dry out from heat so he helped keep them alive) and the banks flowers, he would wash my store's windows (sometimes the bank and barbershop's as well), he would sweep the sidewalks, if it snowed sometimes cleared the snow (and he really wasn't in the best of health to do so), and he also go help out at the little store/restaurant I spoke of above? I am sure there are more things I am missing that he did without being asked being rather stealthy about it because he didn't want any recognition.
As I have been leaving or entering the store each morning and evening, I look up at his apartment window (as I always do) ready to wave and then realize he isn't there. I keep waiting each day for him to come in the door but he doesn't... It is just not the same with out him!
Laughs...
I will miss our jokes. Believe it or not he liked to joke around just as much as we did. The best was secretly "tagging" his back with post-it notes that said things like "The Jewel Box Girls are the Best" and he would leave and come back later after going across the street and then to the barbershop. He would come back (after we were busted by the Barbershop Girls) shaking his finger and of course I got the blame because I was the first to post these on his back and the rest of the girls got in on it. But he loved it!
I will miss his stories of "his girlfriend" or him watering the cigarette receptacles outside to prevent people from pulling used "butts" out, re-lighting, and smoking them. Oh how he would laugh!
Last spring he went home with me to help Jason off the porch roof. Jason called me from his cell phone because he couldn't get down... Well of course I couldn't go help him down by myself, I needed back up. We all laughed about this "unfortunate event" for months.
Stories..
I will miss his stories of his life in Panama while in the service and how much he loved it there. How the nickname "Square" or L 7 (the L and 7 together looks like a square) came about and it wasn't because he sat in the square all the time; it was because of a brick hitting his "flat head". Over the last few years there were many stories of his family and just friends... He knew how to make us all laugh.
Last year when we surprised him with the "town" celebrating his birthday week. He played all "cool" but you could see the joy in his face and the extra bounce in his step. He was proud. It made it so worth it for all who participated!
These are just some of the memories of this man, a man I know this community will never forget and neither will I. In the short amount of time that we knew him, he made a huge impact in my life. Not only was he a friend, he basically became like family to us at the store and to my kids...
He will forever be missed!
We all love ya L7.
It has been some time since I have written a blog post. Life has been rather hectic lately. There have been so many topics that have been
running through my brain lately, but this topic has literally been smacking my
head daily.
My Chronic Migraines
Most of you have had headaches at times in your life, many
of you have had a migraine before, and some of you suffer with them. For me, I am pretty sure could deal if it was
just a headache; I feel as if I have a fairly high pain tolerance, it is ALL
the symptoms that come with the MIGRAINE & the frequency that is so
frustrating.
Most who are around me may not realize that I suffer with chronic
migraines because I force myself to function in the everyday world. Some weeks consist of daily migraines, while
others I may have just two or three.
There is no rhyme or reason as to why I get them or how many I will get
in a week. I have had migraines since I
was a kid but the last two years they have been relentless.
For me, almost every day for the past two years I wake up in
what I call a brain fog, because either I am at the start of my next migraine
or my body is trying to recover from the last one.
With the brain fog, I have an
extremely hard time concentrating and focusing, sometimes I even feel so
exhausted. My speech even suffers at times, I feel like I am slurring my
words. There are times Jason or my girls
are talking to me, I hear them & see them mouthing
the words but nothing is registering and if it does register there is a high probability
I will forget what they said a few moments later. (Those who are close to me, know that I am
normally not forgetful, so this is very unlike me. Ex. I normally can remember almost every
detail of what happened 15 years ago.) There
are days that my head feels like someone is stabbing it and days that I may not
have an actual “headache” but my vision is disturbed with auras and sometimes I
have tunnel vision; then the nausea sets in, the dizziness and vertigo symptoms. Sometimes I lose my vision, see flashes of light, have the auras,
have high pitched ringing in my ears, and sounds are magnified for the day, sometimes
just minutes, or hours depending on how the medications I am on decide to work
that day. Most of the time when I have a
migraine I do have the combination of the headache and the vision but not all
the time. Then on top of it all too much
stimuli makes the migraines worse.
The one thing that does seem to help is a cool, dark, quiet
room where I can sleep it off. Unfortunately,
I have so many that I just can’t sleep my life away; I have a family and a job. So, I put a smile on my face and push myself
through each day. Most of the time I can
disguise it well; but this is exhausting.
There are only a handful of people that can tell when I am having one of
my “episodes”. When my migraine is over
my body feels like Jell-O and I am wiped-out. Maybe if I could go to that cool, dark, quiet
room and sleep it would help but that isn’t an option.
As many of you know, I love to run. If I don't run, I do feel worse so there are times I have to force myself through my run. Just the pounding of the pavement makes me even more nauseous at times. There are times on the straight stretches I have to close my eyes to keep from losing my cookies. But lately, I have been so weak that even getting out to run has been hard.
Did you know you don’t have to have a headache for it to be a migraine, just all the other migraine symptoms?
My Triggers
I know of three triggers of mine but then there are days
that I wake-up with a migraine and I am unsure what triggered it.
Lights.My first trigger certain types of lights. Florescent lighting is the worst; I can see
the constant “flashing”. Really bright
LED lights. Certain headlights.
Smells. Certain
perfumes, colognes, cleaning products, certain candle scents, essential oils, or anything that has a
strong scent will automatically trigger a migraine.
Weather. I am finding
that my head is tending to be pretty good at predicting a big weather pattern
change.
Things I have tried
I have tried elimination of foods hoping to maybe find a
trigger without success. As well as over
the counter drugs, physical therapy, and ENT for my vertigo. I have been doing Botox injections for almost
a year now. The Botox has not helped me
in the fact that it has lessened the amount of migraines, but it has helped
with the intensity of the pain associated with them. I feel like a walking pharmacy with all the
medications I take to prevent an attack or when one hits. Some of the meds I
have to be “selective” when I am going to take because I can only take so many
times each month; so I have to decide which is my worse day. Many of the meds that I take just help ease
the symptoms and they don’t cure the symptoms.
Cefaly or Sprint TMS
A few weeks back my neurologist sent me to see another neurologist
to review everything we have been doing for the last two years. There were hopes that there may be something
she was missing or another medication that might work, or something else that
we could be doing to help reduce the occurrence. I met with this neurologist for about an hour
and a half. She did an exam and reviewed
all my records and I am back to square one.
She agrees with everything that has been done so far. Although she did suggest a Cefaly unit or a
Spring TMS unit, I am doing research on both. Cefaly is a onetime purchase
but the electrodes are extra an extra fee and will frequently need replaced. The
Spring TMS is a monthly fee. But which
is better? Does one work better than the
other? I am so confused…
Why am I writing all this?
I am frustrated… I am obviously not only one out there with chronic
migraines with these crazy symptoms and maybe we can help each other. I am hoping that maybe this will help people understand
why I might seem “out to lunch” at times.
Maybe someone reading this will say, “Have you tried …?” Maybe this will remind others to be sparing when using perfumes, colognes, essential oils because there are people who unfortunately have reactions to them. So if you have any ideas, suggestions, or maybe have tried the Cefaly or Spring TMS units I would like to hear your input.
