During one of my headaches, she gave me this tiny bottle of oil and told me to massage it on my temples and forehead. Amazingly, it worked! Somehow the oil penetrates into the affected area and relieves the pain.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15409954932479456236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814114731786461812.post-63973445807794599072011-01-05T22:37:44.633-05:002011-01-05T22:37:44.633-05:00Thank you to all for writing in today.
Ann, it ...Thank you to all for writing in today. <br /><br />Ann, it is nice to meet you! <br /><br />Sandi, I appreciate the book tip. I will check the library for it this weekend. I definitely need to be equipped to support him as best I can.<br /><br />Terri, what did you use for pain as you weaned off the meds? Did you just go cold turkey? Good to hear from you! Thank you!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741646073555849828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814114731786461812.post-1661498943901768962011-01-05T15:04:20.261-05:002011-01-05T15:04:20.261-05:00I found I was getting rebound migraines from takin...I found I was getting rebound migraines from taking Excedrin and otherwise medicating my headaches with caffeine! When I cut all that out of my life, they decreased markedly in frequency. Just what worked for me...but I know every migraine sufferer has different triggers.<br /><br />My nephew also suffers from frequent headaches, but his were found to be thyroid related.Andrew & Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03372943628751921835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814114731786461812.post-33999470902722661092011-01-05T13:25:05.090-05:002011-01-05T13:25:05.090-05:00A load to bear, yet you bear it with such hope...f...A load to bear, yet you bear it with such hope...for yourself and for Peter. <br /><br />I have had migraines and taken OTC Excedrin for migraines, which has worked well. I'm grateful for your warning about rebound migraines...though I know that's not what this post was about, I'm glad you included that.<br /><br />Most of all, though, I share the weight of this with you in these moments reading your story. This is where the work of parenting and our faith in Christ need to be inextricably linked, or else looking ahead to the future can overwhelm.<br /><br />May you find hope and strength for today (and tomorrow...and the next day...and the next...).<br /><br />Ann Kroeker<br />Content Editor<br />TheHighCalling.orgAnn Kroekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031147191936773330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814114731786461812.post-70741135388972868492011-01-05T09:39:02.497-05:002011-01-05T09:39:02.497-05:00oh friend, I know this blessing/hardship you speak...oh friend, I know this blessing/hardship you speak of. I am glad that a "professional" acknowledges what you have known all along. Not that we need them too but in one way I felt relieved that I wasn't imagining what we were facing. Though anyone living in my home would never think I was making it up. :o)<br /><br />I will keep praying. <br /><br />Have you heard of a book called "Helping Your Anxious CHild" by Ronald Rapee. It is not Christian but practical. I haven't finished the entire thing but I did get it from my local library. I have been reading this becasue we have discovered that a big part of my guys issues on top of the autism is a large dose of anxiety. It is helping me make sense of some of the out of the house behaviors...social anxiety etc. You probably know most of what is in the book but I have found it helpful especially the detective thinking part. He likes solving a mystery. And as always you may not agree with it all. <br /><br />And if I may encourage you to not be too hard on yourself. You are so great at dealing with your sin and struggles with God. I believe he loves your heart to please him in this and live for him with all you are. The same grace you desire and do extend to Peter is the same and much more grace that God extedns to YOU. <br /><br />Hugs and love to youSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12953023131915534135noreply@blogger.com
