Hi Elizabeth

>This migraine thing is a totally new thing for me in the past year and a half. I'm positive that it's related to hormones; first it started premenstually, and now my hormones are so out of wack that it is happening much more frequently. So I don't really think it has to do with parnate, unless it is being exacerbated by it. The last two days, depression and migraine-wise, have been hellish.
FYI, many people with DID have migraines from switching, especially between parts that sap their energy. Outside of the hospital, the people who I know who get migraines do not have mood disorders (of course very small population.)

I posed a question to either you or Cam on the thread about parnate about a possible consequence of taking opiates on ADs, specifically parnate in my case. I think I'm being blackballed by Cam perhaps because of some (I thought) minor disagreements or some other reason I am not aware of. Could you address this question, do you have any ideas about this? I'm just wondering why a pdoc once said that to me. And now that I am becoming worried about it, my pdoc is gone for a week.BTW, in this area, not just shrinks, but almost everyone with kids takes their vacation in August. Schools are out *and* the camp sessions have ended.
> Best of luck to you, as always.
