Back from Boston

So yes, Boston was a great experience. I had a blast. I met so many wonderful people. Plus, I think I have even worked out what I am going to do as far as my own therapy is concerned. I won't mention names yet, since it's probably going to be a ways off. I have to get some $$ together in order to take a plane, pay for the appointment and all that stuff. Plus after discussing it with Shawn, of course he wants to come with.

We figure if I'm going to fly somewhere to see a Migraine Specialist, might as well make the best of it and turn it into a vacation!!!!

So that is about it. I am back at work and still trying to figure out all my unpacking. I did want to let my loyal 4 readers know that I was back safe and sound.

Also, I wanted to share a couple of pictures with you!!!! I figure since I am somewhat off topic, it's a nice time to share pictures of the pretty city of Boston as well as the beautiful Orchids that were all over the hotel and mall that Teri and I went to.

Ok that's about it for now. I promise to have something good to say soon. Oh, but on a side note, if any of you are not yet reading Migraine Chick, she had a really great, funny post today about Why I could survive a Zombie attack which is worth checking out if you are a migraineur or like Zombies!!!

First day of conference

Today was our first day of conference stuff, seeing as we came in a day early to get adjusted. Teri and I woke with the chickens at 4:45 to make a 6 a.m. breakfast satellite symposium on Brains, Sex Hormones & Woman: Neural Mechanisms of Migraine. It was all about women and the impact menstruation has on Migraine and menstrual Migraine.

I know Teri is going to write up a share post about this within the next couple weeks over on My Migraine Connection. Once I have time to reread what I've learned, I may come on back and talk more about it here.

We also went to a lecture on how the brain processes pain signals.

This all happened between meeting so many wonderful doctors such as Dr. Fred Sheftell who is now the president of the American Headache Society, Dr. Elizabeth Loder, Dr. William Young, Dr. Krusz, Dr. Silberstein, and Dr. Lipton. These are just a few of the brilliant minds of gotten to meet so far, and it's just the first day!

I believe this is going to be about it for now since we are crazy and getting up for another satellite symposium tomorrow at the crack of dawn.

Good night for now!

Off to Boston in the morning!!!

So Teri and I are off to Boston in the morning for the 50th annual American Headache Society conference. This is Teri's fifth year attending and my first. I am so excited, I cannot wait.

I am just finishing up the packing, the getting myself organized and all that stuff.

We will have a lot to report from Boston, so stay tuned!! I am not sure how much of it I will have time to report on here before I get back, but we will be Share Posting on My Migraine Connection during our trip.



So wish us luck and please check in here and on MMC for updates from the confrence!!!!!
