How I Met My Lifelong Partner
I'm a type 1 diabetic and, much like relationships, diabetes found me when I least expected it. And then, very much unlike relationships, I couldn't get rid of the bugger when I didn't want it anymore. I was diagnosed in January 2016, just before I turned 22. There I was, having a wonderful time in my final year of university, when diabetes crept up on me. You little sausage, diabetes. For anyone who didn't go to uni, by the way, the three years there are a lot like the first three Spider-Man films: the first one starts out strong, the second one is passable, and then the third one makes absolutely no sense. I am talking about that hilariously awkward dance scene that Peter Parker does in Spider-Man 3...Literally, what was the relevance of that other than to make the audience hate Tobey Maguire?

A New Lifestyle
It's 7:10AM and I woke up about an hour ago. I watched a couple of videos on, "How to become a morning person" the night before and I was truly inspired... motivated. Mind you, I have had times like this before, where I felt that I needed a lifestyle change, where I needed to utilize my time of day doing something more productive and meaningful than sleeping in until mid-day and wasting the rest of the day accomplishing the bare minimum. But this time it was different, this time I told myself, "It's now or never Shawd! Get to it!" So I did.

The Journey
Beach day! I'm a lucky woman... feeling grateful and feeling blessed, knowing that this trip is coming close to an end... which is really just another new beginning. I needed every moment and second of this. Every struggle and every challenge has reawakened a part of me that has been buried underneath a series of losses, traumas, and changes that pulled the rug out from under me.

Cluster Headaches and You
Welcome, I hope this information is useful in some way! What exactly is a cluster headache? Described as the worst pain known to human kind, known to be worse than child birth, it has specific triggers, time frames, and can only be passed on genetically. Anyone can get a migraine, there's about three million reported cases per year in the US, but only 0.1% of the world has cluster headaches. The information regarding clusters are very minute, due to how rare it is. It's classified as a Primary Headache, which means the pain is caused by itself; secondary or tertiary headaches are caused by other means such as stress, not eating, or smoking. There are different forms of clusters; Chronic and Episodic. Episodic sufferers get one week to one year worth of suffering, but then get up to one month (or more!) of remission. Chronic sufferers get them for more than a year, with less than 1 month of remission in between.

Why You Don't Want to Diet
Most people who are looking to lose weight try to find a diet to help them do so. The problem with most diets is that they have quick results, but then you plateau. After plateauing, most give up and then gain the weight back. There are some people who do find a diet that works for them and keep the weight off but that is a very small percentage per diet. Why is this?
