I was in a grocery store and, as usual, I was on my electric scooter, dragging a grocery cart behind and doing my grocery shopping all alone. It’s a feat of independence and what I usually encounter is people positively remarking that I am really accomplished at driving a scooter trailing a shopping cart and getting around all the isles. I smile and tell them thanks. Some joke that maybe I should put a horn on the front of my “train”, but I joke and tell them the only horn I’m putting on there is a Mack Truck horn—and we both laugh and go on our way. But not everyone a disabled person meets is positive; sometimes we come in contact with people who are truly cursed with intolerance.

I’m disabled, my life is gone—I’ve heard that so often from newly disabled people. Some become trapped in a black hole of thoughts of what used to be, anger of what was lost because of their disability, and then some give up and although they could do things for themselves they instead become overly dependent on others to do almost everything for them. Although all of the above may be normal at first, you have to break out of the above to move forward and find you have a good future life ahead.

Migraines can be some of the worst possible pain and when you get them daily or on a regular basis over many years, you can find yourself looking for any method of reducing the number of migraines you get or getting rid of migraines completely.
