What were you Grateful for today?
I thought to myself how "grateful" I was to have my eyesight. It hit me hard....for some reason. I was just curious as to what others are grateful for each day.

Oh....I hope that this ocular migraine was not only an add on, but a sign of a new pattern. My triggers are many, hormonal (regardless of the fact that I am menopausal), strong scents, strobing, fluctuating lights, Red wine, oaked wine, low blood sugars, stress, extremes in temperature, smoke, constant loud noise, lack of sleep. There!

Oh yes, Natalie and Linda---I'm remembering a phrase I came across about wolves---a book by the poet Linda Hogan, I think, about wolves being rehabilitated. Their bonding/pack behavior includes "parallel walking." I just loved the phrase---we are parallel walking with our migraine histories!.....

Thankful for a God that Is Loving, Forgiving and understanding when My Faith is short.
Trying not to worry about my son and his diabetes. I need to trust and its so hard not to be worried.

I am grateful for choral music, and the ability to make a joyful noise unto God all ye lands.

Linda- I get these ocular or retinal migraines too. I discussed them with my eye doc on Tues. He said it is caused by a sudden constriction of the vessels in the eye lasts up to 30 min and then the vessels dilate and it disappears. I told him I get a yellow kidney shaped "blob" in the middle of my eyes and can' see anything for a few minutes. He said taking a Beta-blocker helps with the constriction. I do take a Beta- blocker ( metoprolol). He also said they aren't really dangerous. I hope this info is helpful.

Today is my 13th D-anniversary, and I am very grateful to be complication free after 13 years. When I look back over these 13 years they seemed to go quickly, but the days went very slowly. I am grateful to have so many friends here on TuD to talk to and share life with. We really are a family with D as the magnet drawing us together. I hope to be here for many more years giving and getting support. Thanks to all of you. Cat
