The August edition of Scientific American has a detailed article on migraine.

The article shows that those of use who have claimed that this disease is profound, and beyond our abilities - were telling the truth. A truth we could not prove, that was based on a "feeling".

Everyone who trivialized our experience should be ashamed of themselves including my friend Oliver Saks who should apologize for that pathetic migraine book he wrote way back which set in motion a standard of treatment that was horrible.

Everyone who has migraine or knows someone who has it, please get a copy of this issue of Scientific American.

There has been some breakthroughs in studying migraine in the last couple of days.
A report of a skin sensitivity that makes you hyper sensitive to even a breeze is now being discussed. I have always known this one. It is also one that I typically hid from others because it sounds like something made up or just another indication of how messed up migraine people are. In fact we can feel the changes in the barometer, we can feel solar activity, and have a higher awareness to everything around us. Similar to what people like Timothy Leary were seeking when they used Acid.

I am proud to say that my 2 dogs have been trained to never do harm to the critters that wonder into our property. In fact a very interesting dynamic has happened. By training them to guard the birds that come to the feeders the birds have figured out that they are safe to feed, bathe, play, and pollinate in the yard when the dogs are there. Bonnie and Fergus can sit right up to the feeders and the birds flock around them safely.
