Good Morning!! So far no neurological aberrations occurring in my head ... which in simple terms means no migraines. Of course they can sneak in at any moment ... so I might not be out of the woods yet. This morning I am a non-smoker ... once again. The group hypnosis was fine. It is our 3rd time with this particular company so their presentation is always the same. They work hard at selling a particular line of supplements (which we bought the first time around and still have some of!!) with promises of easing the recovery process and NOT GAINING WEIGHT!! I had to bite my tongue not to interrupt him!! He was really stirring up folks fears about gaining weight, how the research shows this and that. Well, quite frankly I don't buy it. I AM NOT gaining weight because I am not smoking!! But the hypnotism part is good!! I'm excited to be smoke free again. Bob is too!!! In my head I keep hearing ... "I'm a non smoker, I'm a non smoker, I'm a non smoker"!!!
Migraines aren't really headaches ... not in the traditional sense. They are interesting phenomena!! I do believe they can be weather related ... it is so strange how many people in my area seem to have episodes almost simultaneously. I also believe, for me they have been at times hormonally related. I've been taking a natural supplement called Petadolex which is clinically proven to reduce frequency and intensity of episodes and I think it is helping!! From April to August is a long time with no aura for me ... and when the episode arrived it was definitely less intense. I think there also might be some evidence that Petadolex (butter bur root) helps with allergies too.
Time to quit fooling around here on the puter and get my act together and head on down the road. Tomorrow mom is having a colonoscopy so I'll be ferrying her around instead of work. Kind of like a day off in the middle of the week!! I could get used to this!! Have a healthy, joyful, positive day!!

Well, Good morning NON-SMOKER. I love the sound of that. NON-SMOKER. Glad the migraines are not bothersome right now. And I so agree about the weight thing, just because someone stops smoking does not mean automatic weight gain. I have to say it again, you are a NON-SMOKER. :-)

I agree with WECANDO's observation about the sound of the term NON-SMOKER. It implies a conscientious decision on your part NOT to smoke. My sister has used that term for many years and she says it with such pride in her voice. I am so proud of you all for making this decision, The weather affects us in such POWERFUL ways and those of us who notice the these effects benefit from that awareness. Hopefully - Mr. Weatherman will not harass you further. Back to the smoking-hypno-session - I am no expert in any manner regarding non-smokers who do - or don't gain weight. To me - like lots of oral fixations habits with cigarettes seem to be things we chew on to cope. But the addiction is unbelievable STRONG. Kids with plastic straws in their mouths, old men with matchbook covers, gals who chomp gum, cowboys with toothpicks, and - of course - ballplayers with wads of bubblegum, sunflower seeds or tobacco in their jaws are ALL using something in their mouths to handle a kind of nervous energy. Just my non-expert theory. I am chomping on gum right now! My husband says, "Mom! Ease up on the gum - will ya!" Continued success to ya!
