Thanks!

Nearly a month ago and a month before that I was racked with migraine. I have had the migraine for the same length of time this month, but it hasn't been nearly as incapacitating. I taught fulltime on Thursday and half the day on Friday and was at a meeting for nearly three hours yesterday. My hearing is so acute I can tell you what's happening on the other side of the suburb, but there was so much less pain I didn't even realise what was happening until today. I don't know if it was the soy, or the iron, or the black cohosh, or the other stuff, but it's a massive quality-of-life difference. This stage last month I had been in bed for 3 days and couldn't even see straight. This time this month I have had half a day in bed and have done 4 hours of light editing (just today) and am only just up to taking codeine, since ibuprofen and coffee sorted most things out. I may still end up with pain and time in bed, but we are talking about many days less pain and a pain that is magnitudes less.

Everyone who gave me advice - you all rock!

Does anyone have a copy of the Sydney Morning Herald from 2 October from which I could steal a page or two?

(Libraries will have them, of course, but I would rather obtain the newspaper article in its original form if I can. It came out the week I was so frantically busy I couldn't keep an eye out for it - as things do).
