Botox Is Big News

No comments :
ARLINGTON, VA - JUNE 05:  Recently laid off wo...Image by Getty Images via @daylifeNow that the FDA has approved botox injections for treating migraine, more people can have access to a treatment that may work for them. Having tried it before, I can tell you that the needle pokes hurt, but not nearly as bad as a migraine. Here's a video I found that touts botox injections as being ready for the general migraine population in as few as three years. Thank goodness it is approved now.

This video may be dated, but you can get an idea of how botox is administered. Dr. Silberstein who is interviewed for this video has been my doctor for over two years. Unfortunately for me, my migraines did not respond to the treatment. But, that doesn't mean that others cannot benefit.

Unrest

No comments :
I dedicate the following poem to all the people of Iran, and China, and all the other places in the world where the masses are left unheard or unheeded. As the world shows our dissatisfaction for arrant governments. We pray for the poor and the persecuted.


Unrest
Faces dance
In cheering walls.
Heaving chants
At those they maul.

A rushing torrent
Casting stones.
Anxieties spent
In angry tones.

Speaking out
For what they feel.
A fighting bout
Between wrong and real.

Politics prevent the boast,
Of everything at peace.
Unrest exists on every coast,
Charter's short on this world's lease.

We need to stop and look around,
To notice what we see.
React calmly, break new ground,
Hear the masses and their plea.
