On my birthday last year, I was staring to emerge from the haze of unexpected side effects, including constant (instead of chronic) migraines, caused by a new CFS/ME medication I was trying. That was a fun three and a half months. That was during a year that included my first (hopefully only) ambulance ride and discovery of a (minor!) heart condition, falling off the back porch and narrowly avoiding braining myself, then tripping in a parking lot and acquiring of fantastic bruises.

On this birthday, I have just had my third round of botox for migraines and I am doing so much better. After the second round I even had TWO MONTHS without a single migraine or headache. I still have very little energy but I'm starting to feel like I'm living again not just existing. Bizarre to think that during a global pandemic my health might actually be improving … but it might be?

(I think I do need to go back to the physio again though. I strained a shoulder muscle cuddling the dog, FFS *sigh* This is after straining the same shoulder holding a friend's baby right after the first round of botox and getting very confused and painful signals from my neck. BUT I AM GETTING BETTER.)

And there was some very fancy cake for dessert.
