    Welcome! And congrats on finding a med to control your migraines. Mine are, sadly, still largely uncontrolled.

    That's a fantastic idea about doing a birthday dinner out and ordering dessert there, I think I'll try that out! Thanks!

    As for migraines, I'm still looking for a good preventative but I'm thankful I have a triptan that works to stop it once I have one. As my doctor told me at our last meeting "Don't give up on finding something to work for you, there are lots of options, and we'll find one eventually" I know how frustrating (not to mention painful) migraines can be, I hope you find some relief or measure of control soon.

    Oh, and to get myself back on topic , good job to everyone so far. I'm contemplating the WW site, I know how well it works, but I'm not sure I want to spend money I'd rather spend on my bike.

    I've not managed to convince myself to spend money on WW either (that, and I have an aversion to it after one of our senior partners implied the overweight female employees should all join...). Bike stuff is more fun. But, if I can't get things under control myself, I may have to....

    Unfortunately, triptans haven't worked for me. I feel like I'm having a heart attack. Not fun. I need to talk to my doc about preventatives.
