Ms. Reba McEntire (Basco). Lol. If you are not in the know, she is a huge cowgirl.
I think even non country folks know who Reba is.. She is amazing love her song Fancy...I grew up on 40 acres in Northern CA so country life is very familiar to me. I don't live that way any longer though. I hope to retire (long time off) in the country with my horse and animals one day.

I used to milk the neighbors cows and thought it was fun. You have to learn the rhythm then got rewarded with 1 gallon containers of fresh milk with cheese cloth separating the cream from the milk. I loved the farm life it was beautiful all the funny chickens and home raised cows, tomatoes fresh off the vine..

poor rent-a-horse
LoL Bejeeber this reminds me of a time I went to Maui and thought it would be a good idea to do one of those rent a rides... The guid asked everyone if any of us wanted to lope (run real fast) some say gallop anyhow me being a decent rider I said yes so they put me on this particular horse... unbeknownst to me this horse knew exactly what spot on the trail to start loping so.... all the sudden the horse took off like a bat out of hell... I've never had to hold the horn to stay on but I'm pretty sure I would have went flying off if I had not.. I couldent even try to stop this gelding as it was all I could do to stay mounted.. then he got to a spot and just stopped (he knew where to start and where to stop)... Never again will I do a rent a horse LOL... If your ever in CA just give me a buzz and I'll let ya ride my mare

I’m serious, and I never followed that type of music scene, I didn’t know Amy Winehouse (had to StartPage). I respect others tastes, definitely not my style. I must have been under a rock when she was famous. Wow, where was I?
No worries Juss. It's not for everybody and I actually wasent a huge Winehouse fan but I am a bit of a lyric junky it's a shame she couldent find her happy..

She's good Bosco but I'm sorry Amy was 1 of a kind
Yes she was and it's unfortunate she never recognized her worth.. I really liked her work but I like this lead gal better.. to me she is more put together.. you know what opinions are like...

Here's to wishing all you cluster heads a happy Thanksgiving! I sure hope all of you get to enjoy this day pain free.

@BoscoPikothat is an excellent attitude to have on life, and I commend you or anyone that takes that approach. It is best if you do all that is possible to move forward and not let the illness define you. While I don’t let multiple illnesses define me, they have destroyed my life beyond repair. I spend every waking free moment trying to prevent others from walking my path in life. I pissed away numerous golden opportunities, and enormous potential. By 7th grade I was in all college level classes. I’m sure that seems impossible to believe, and it’s not to brag, but true. I did nothing with my life, but rack up debt, get in tons of trouble, and leave a path of destruction. Thus, as stated, I try to help everyone, with everything that I comprehend and have experience in.
The worst thing when you have emotional or physical pain, worse, both, is to have idle time. You can take pills, go to therapy, worse bang dope, in the end, a simple fix-keep moving, keep busy. You have the perfect idea.
Your a good guy Juss. The folks on here are good.. hang with us I've learned alot from you! Happy Thanksgiving to you in the am and happy birthday to me in the am!

As we already know, Toprimate significantly impacts(on an fmri) signaling of the ACC (Anterior Cingulate Cortex and Gyrus), and causes basal ganglia activation. Dopamine receptor agonists and antagonists affect ACC activation impacting neuromodulatory regulation. Fellow crackpots understand that emotional numbing is caused by the deactivation of the ACC, above or below activation I do know causes psychpathologies.
My guess is the “numb, flat, despondent” feeling is valid, problem is I’m already batshit crazy so I don’t notice it. For the rest of you, I bet that it is intense. Compounding the issue, I have had over 60 shock treatments in my life-that targets the ACC as well.
Also, we all definitely know that Toprimate is designed to target the temporal lobes, which if it impacts you enough it can cause similar symptoms as:
Difficulty in understanding spoken words, selective attention, difficulty with identifying and categorizing things, difficulty learning and retaining information, impaired factual and long-term memory, prosopagnosia, sexual interest can go up or down (you can f*%k like a blender on high speed, or be a prude, no in between), emotional disturbances (aggressive behavior, especially sexually aggressive behavior, I knew a Catholic Girl (never mind)).
Now, you can counter this. But, I always state, “to be fair,” and I’m so far gone that Spicoli looks like a genius next to me. I hope that this helps.
Hey juss I don't have my medical dictionary out at the moment and while I love researching all the info you post just chalk me up as slow if you will. I'm a cowgirl.. I rope, ride and die when in cycle. I do my best to stay apprised but refuse to let my infliction encompasses my life. On my good days I ride. On my bad days I pray..

I've been on topiramate for about 8 years know like kids has said need to drink loads of water of you really do piss stones and that really does hurt . But I can't say that it's really helped me with my CH I have skipped a couple of cycles in that time but I don't know if that's down to the Toptrimate. I'm in a major
S--t cycle know have been since end of July.
Sorry you're stuck in cycle mine started July as well which was early for me and it lasted until October 11th.. sucked ars.. I was originally on toprimax don't know if that's the same as toprimate but I think it is. It never helped me and only gave me cognitive issues (I write alot for work and found myself double typing words constantly) I eventually ditched it but everyone responds differently so I'm glad you get some relief from it. Hope you get out of this bad cycle soon!

I don't take anything anymore aside from the verapamil and D3 reg. I use to use a nasal triptan but I do believe that it kept me in cycle this last round much longer. Shadowing is not a warning for me as I'm always shadowing (every day even out of cycle). It's just a norm for me to have a good deal of discomfort on the rt temple but I'll take it over the thunder. My warnings are the random spikes (same spikes as I experience with a CH just not in every 2 to 3 second succession). I made the mistake of thinking that I was going to go full blown this last time and took the spray, boy was that a mistake...my normal 1 to 1 and 1/2 month cycle turned into 3 and a few.. The D3 reg really has helped with the intensity and while it still hurts like an MF I can at least stop pacing and rocking back and forth..

Everyone has a preference, but I have reviewed independent lab tests and through the years tried an entire slew of different Fish Oil supplements. I started with the ones that you could purchase at Target, nothing changed, even approaching 4800mg.
Next, I went to MOMS (My Organic Market), and well they said try Now Foods. I used several of their products, most are an industry secret (non-GMO, organic, natural) exceptional product at rock-bottom prices, nope. I didn't see the results. And unlike most brands, they pay to have their products tested by all of the third-party labs. They also do a lot of clinical research.
Onward, if you know anything about Meta-Analysis, Amazon reviews are fake. If you buy a product based on reviews that is your ignorance. When adjusted, most products are not anywhere near the quality portrayed. This is important. I managed to acquire the lab results for Nordic Naturals (not hard, but I refuse to pay), and I tried it. In a week I felt what all the hype was about.
I realize this was drawn out, but EVERYTHING that I use is evidence-based. Nordic Naturals is at the top for purity standards, meaning you will get that 1400 of EPA/DHA. Most are all on paper, not even close. They have numerous products, no burp, lemon, mixtures with Vitamin D, et cetera. I don't support Amazon, so I provided a link to their webpage. Don't be discouraged go on Vitacost, they have buttloads of Omega 3 products.
I will stick my neck out on this. Most of the lab results I have seen had shown evidence of mercury and toxins with other Omega 3 blends, they distill everything! And you get the real purported dose. Yes, there are other products, they cost more. It is not cheap, but it is worth it. If you dose as I do, 3000mg, plan on $60 a month.

Awesome, thank you for this info!

it's the only one that I can see/verify the lab purity tests.
Hi Juss,
Do you mind sharing the the brand of fish based omega 3 that you use? I am currently using a nature made product and am wondering is it's subpar.

Seems like you could get away with a flax seed supplement..

I can say that I wouldn't expect magnesium oxide, which last I checked is the most common/cheapest form, to work for me with eye twitches.
Thanks Bejeeber,
I will have to look into other types as it's not the worst problem in the world it is quite obnoxious

Oh my Juss.. thank goodness I wasent taking a sip when reading this section of your post! Thankfully I was sitting passenger on the way home from the equestrian facility and when I read this line I belted out a laugh that anyone would be curious about.. My husband was seriously confused at my random laughter when I reread what you wrote he named off several so called iconic reality gals that seriously wear this shoe.. I do have a boob tube but only watch it on Sunday when Yellowstone is on or some other show of that nature. Shoot I still watch the re runs of Bonaza
