Month: September 2013

I don’t know that there is really anything big to update on, at least that anyone would care about, but I’m going through some things in my head and need to write them down try to figure them out. This is more of a Skyler post than an informational post, so unless you’re a chronic pain sufferer, really like me (thanks) or are seriously that bored, you can feel free to tune out and wait for the next useful post (coming soon). I’ve just been spending some time freshly researching chronic daily headaches because I am trying to isolate the types of headaches I have to try to treat them individually instead of as a whole big mess as I have been so far in my life. There are 3 primary types of chronic headaches; tension-type, migraine and new daily persistent.

I like to make these personal posts between my articles because a decent, well-researched article takes quite a bit of effort. I’m pretty sure my girl wasn’t thrilled when she texted me Sunday evening to see what I was up to and my reply was that I couldn’t talk for the rest of the day because I’m writing a blog post (my day generally goes until 2-3 AM because of personal preference). Still, it felt great to use creative muscles that haven’t been used much since I stopped trying to write short stories about 5 years ago.
