Q: What is the most frustrating thing about your life?
A: The most frustrating thing is the pain when it comes along. I am unable to do anything but sit or sleep in a dark room. Also I have had all the tests you can think of but lately I have been having headaches around 3 times a week. Even after going to the emergency room and after the two medications the doctor gave me it seemed like the headache hid so it would not have to take the medication.
Q: What are you most thankful for?
A: I am thankful for waking up every single time after a headache. I am thankful for the doctors who try to help and for the medication they give me. I am thankful for life.
Q: What’s your greatest achievement?
A: Raising my children
Q: How do you manage your condition?
A: I try to change what I am eating, get enough sleep, and take it easy.

A: I have so many I just cannot name one.
Q: Where do you get the greatest support?
A: At home
Q: What is your idea of happiness?
A: My idea of happiness is waking up without a headache, going through my day and not catch a headache. My idea of happiness is spending time with my granddaughter.
