Hello fellow members,

I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and send a wish of
hope that we all have a higher number of good/better days this year,
lower pain levels, higher pain thresholds and more enjoyment out of
life!

Personally, I am determined to become a better manager of my pain and
to not feel guilty for resting in the middle of the day (every day)
or for getting a treatment when I need it or for not working a full-
time job like I used to (as I have done in the past!).

I have vowed to myself for 2008 that I will be more patient with my
crazy head, accept it the best I can and live life to its fullest
despite it being in a more limited fashion! I realize that I do have
some limitations but I refuse to let them take over my life and watch
another year fly by while I fight against it! I will also continue to
*work* on finding a medicaiton and/or treatment that helps and to
gain a better balance in everything I do.

Maybe you can submit your promises or headache "resolutions"> It
would be great to hear how you plan to better manage your headaches,
improve how you cope, what treatments you plan to try or what new
perspectives or attitudes you plan to adopt for the coming year.

On a final note I would like to submit that in the short time this
group has been around, I personally have found it to be very helpful.
It really has provided me with a powerful source of support. For
that, I thank you all for your participation and kind words of
encouragement.

All the best to you for the coming year.

Kind regards,
Laura
