My complete archive list is messed up, so the partial list is available for now. If you want to view June to October 2005 posts, you can use the search box or go to the bottom of each of the category pages. You can also type in www.thedailyheadache.com/2005/XX/index.html and replace the Xs with the two-digit number of the month that you’re looking for.

Comments & E-Mail
Just wanted to let you know that I won’t be able to respond to comments or e-mails until Friday. I’ll still be writing posts, but I forgot my laptop and my sister’s computer is in the un-air conditioned shop. I care about you all, but not enough to torture myself, particularly while I’m visiting my family. 😉
Blog Stuff
I’ve added a search box to the blog. It may be more helpful to me than anyone else, but it’s there if you need it. Be sure to switch from the default web search to the blog search.
Also new is the complete archive list. It used to have only the last 10 months on it; now it’s back to June 2005, when I started the blog.
There’s also an Amazon search box at the bottom of the right-hand column. If you search for Amazon items in it and then buy something from Amazon, you’ll help pay for the cost of running this blog.
My Friend’s Nerve Stimulator Story
My friend’s nerve stimulator story, which I said I’d post today, is complicated. I’m having her check that I’ve gotten all the details right and hope to post it next week.
Happy Anniversary!
Yesterday marked the first anniversary of The Daily Headache (here’s my first post). I can’t believe it’s been a year. At the same time, it has become such a part of my life that it feels like I’ve been doing it forever.
Hart suggested many times in the two years before I started the blog that I should become a headache blogger. I resisted, thinking that I didn’t want to complain about how I felt and didn’t have much else to offer. Besides, I didn’t think it would have any readers.
Then I tried to make an appointment with a headache specialist in Seattle. She’s the kind of neurologist that you go to when no other treatments work. You have to send your records and “apply.” There was a six month wait to see her.
I couldn’t believe that there were so many people in the Seattle area who have headaches bad enough to “qualify” to see this specialist that her schedule was so backed up. Realizing that many other people suffer like I do was heartbreaking.
Then I recognized what I have to offer: the knowledge that none of us are alone. Turns out that almost everyone who e-mails tells me that they appreciate the blog for that very reason.
Thank you for being a reader. Even though I don’t personally exchange messages with all of you, know that each of you is the reason for The Daily Headache. If I had a magic wand to cure you all, I’d use it in a heartbeat. Since that’s not possible, I’ll focus on the healing power of shared experiences.
