Hello, this is the Migraine Heroes podcast, a podcast where we share real stories from
[00:11]
real people suffering and battling with migraine disease.
[00:15]
In this podcast, we seek to provide support, hope, holistic health advocacy, and inspiration
[00:22]
for those who suffer from migraines.
[00:33]
Thank you so much for having me at your place.
[00:39]
So today we're here to discuss about your migraines and how they started.
[00:42]
Thank you so much for taking the time.
[00:44]
And you know what?
[00:45]
To take the time for women who actually suffer and sometimes have a bit of self-doubt, to
[00:49]
just really share very personally and candidly your experience with migraines.
[00:54]
So let's dive right in.
[00:55]
Where did that migraine journey start for you?
[00:59]
So I remember my first migraine being when I was living in Sydney.
[01:03]
I used to love playing beach volleyball in the morning, and I would go and spend two
[01:08]
or three hours playing volleyball, sometimes not eating or drinking very much.
[01:13]
So you know, I've just been too excited to play.
[01:16]
And definitely I remember that's when it started feeling really ill.
[01:23]
You know, I had terrible blurred vision, and then I would pretty much have to go home straight
[01:27]
away and put myself in a dark room, in a cold room, cold and dark room.
[01:32]
I definitely noticed a pattern that it was when I wasn't drinking, drinking enough or
[01:38]
not having breakfast.
[01:39]
So very, very quickly I started paying attention to that and actually not exercising in the
[01:45]
morning unless I had these two things sorted.
[01:49]
And so these games, you were going every week?
[01:52]
Yes, I used to do every Sunday.
[01:56]
Exciting with friends?
[01:58]
Well, actually I make friends through it because I just love volleyball.
[02:00]
And you know, I met a lady, we became partners.
[02:04]
She was from the Netherlands.
[02:06]
We started playing together, yeah.
[02:07]
And so how long did they last for normally?
[02:09]
It would be like, we start at 9am and we finish around 1pm sometimes.
[02:15]
And then you play and then you stop and then you play and then you stop, you know, it's
[02:17]
not like the whole time.
[02:19]
And so did it become a pattern that you need to stop and go home?
[02:23]
Pretty much every week really.
[02:24]
Eventually, I would have to go home, yeah, because I just felt awful.
[02:29]
And I knew the headache would come and I would just have to go home and I would have to lie
[02:32]
down for a few hours on my Sunday, which wasn't great.
[02:36]
And so how were your friends responding?
[02:38]
Well, at first she didn't really understand, you know, why.
[02:43]
I think she did notice a pattern and she knew, especially in the summer, it was really hot.
[02:48]
That's what would happen.
[02:49]
And then, you know, a lot of people say it would be you get sunstroke, you know?
[02:53]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[02:54]
So you were like, oh, is it sunstroke or, you know, that's what I thought, you know,
[02:58]
I haven't drunk enough water.
[02:59]
I haven't looked after myself.
[03:01]
Even though I was always wearing big hats and all that, I was, you know, I was trying to
[03:04]
be sense conscious, but I still, yeah.
[03:08]
And so at that time, did you think of them as a headache or as migraines or whatever?
[03:14]
Yeah, I thought it was just headaches, really.
[03:19]
I thought it was a dehydration, sunstroke headache.
[03:20]
I just, I didn't really say, oh, I'm having migraine.
[03:24]
It's just I thought, you know, I'm not used to this Australian sun and this is what happens.
[03:29]
Had you been exposed to other people with migraines or not so much?
[03:34]
No one ever talks about them.
[03:35]
My parents definitely didn't, never had migraine.
[03:38]
And my sister, I know since now, I know because we discussed it, that she has a few migraines
[03:42]
in there, but not when we were growing up.
[03:48]
And so how does it continue to evolve or does it stop?
[03:51]
So then I, I remember doing, having the migraines, obviously now it's migraine when I was playing
[03:56]
beach volleyball, but then I went and moved to Hong Kong and then no problem there.
[04:00]
I wasn't exercising as much, I guess it was not as much sun.
[04:05]
So I don't really remember really having migraines there.
[04:08]
And then I had my children, everything's good.
[04:11]
And then just really recently it starts again.
[04:15]
I started noticing that it was definitely a passion.
[04:19]
And then becoming quite anxious about when the next, next one will come or if I have
[04:23]
a very busy day, I'm like, oh my God, I hope today I'm not going to get the migraine or
[04:27]
if you have a long drive or something like that, I've become quite anxious about it.
[04:32]
Because you know that once it hits you, you just can't do anything.
[04:36]
And I think particularly for me, because I had an experience when I was driving and I
[04:39]
had to actually ask somebody else to drive for me.
[04:43]
And you know, if you have your children in the car and you're driving somewhere for three
[04:45]
hours, I can't ask my 11 year old to drive for me.
[04:49]
And then all of a sudden you're in the middle of nowhere and you, you know, and if you have
[04:52]
a migraine, you actually can't drive because I get the blue vision.
[04:56]
I can't see, you know, it's just, yeah.
[04:59]
So that's become a bit of a problem.
[05:01]
And can you describe the blurred vision?
[05:04]
So first, that's what happens.
[05:06]
You can see little dots coming from my right hand side of my right eye.
[05:11]
I can see and I know, I was like, oh no, it's coming, oh, it's going.
[05:15]
And then, then it becomes more and more so that actually you feel like you need to close
[05:19]
one of the eye because you can't barely see through them.
[05:22]
You wear sunglasses, try to help.
[05:24]
Then very quickly I start having a queasy, you know, it's becoming really painful in
[05:29]
I'm squeezing a queasiness, like I'm going to be, I'm going to be vomiting.
[05:33]
So I know I just have to go into a dark room and just wait it out, which could be, usually
[05:38]
it takes all day and all night and then in the morning you still feel really exhausted
[05:43]
and not a hundred percent yourself, but at least you can function again.
[05:49]
And how do, I mean, does it sometimes happen when you have your kids and how?
[05:53]
I mean, I'm very lucky.
[05:54]
I've got a lady, I've got a nanny.
[05:57]
So fortunately when it happened to me, she was around so she could take care of my children.
[06:02]
But yeah, I just don't know how people have a husband that works and have no help and
[06:11]
It's really, really hard.
[06:13]
Especially if you have young children.
[06:15]
I mean, it didn't really happen to me when my children were young.
[06:16]
They're a bit older now, but, and now I know my kids, like I said, you know, sometimes
[06:18]
I want to do something with them and I said, we're going to go and do something.
[06:21]
And then all of a sudden it hits me and I said, I'm sorry, I can't, I've got, I've got to
[06:25]
I just can't do it today.
[06:28]
Oh, you're going to migrate again?
[06:29]
You sick again, mom?
[06:30]
And they don't really understand because they never, they never get that.
[06:33]
They don't understand what it means.
[06:37]
I think it's a deaf dialogue.
[06:41]
I find my grandmother has migraines.
[06:42]
And even though everyone loves her in the family, it's like, oh, granny went for a nap.
[06:45]
She has a migraine.
[06:46]
And I think this is quite a stigma, even within a family.
[06:52]
Even within a family.
[06:54]
Even my husband who's had a migraine.
[06:55]
So your, your husband had?
[07:00]
He used, he used to have migraine.
[07:02]
Oh, well, one day I was in the office not a long time ago with him and he did say, oh,
[07:05]
I've got a migraine.
[07:06]
And straight away he took like lots of pills and then go and lie down and he's got a cell
[07:09]
phone in his office and he just lies down with something on top of him.
[07:13]
So he's got no light.
[07:15]
And then within two hours he wakes up and then you feel like he can continue his day.
[07:18]
Not great, but definitely that's the way he, he handles it.
[07:24]
So for him, when I started having migraine probably in the last two years, more regularly
[07:28]
he keeps saying just as soon as you see it, it's coming, it's coming to you, just take,
[07:33]
you know, a few pills and then go and lie down and you'll be fine.
[07:37]
Which I tried, but it didn't really work for me.
[07:39]
So if you try, so if, let's say you have that aura and then you need to go in a dark room,
[07:46]
when do you take the medication and what happens?
[07:50]
So as soon as you see the aura, well that's what they say, you take, um, so which I have
[07:54]
now in my car with me because I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm really scared about it to happen while
[07:59]
I'm driving the children or anything like that.
[08:00]
So I've got ibuprofen or norepinephrine and then I've got some paddle and my husband say
[08:05]
just take two of each, which is quite a lot, especially for somebody like me.
[08:09]
I actually don't take any pain relief normally.
[08:13]
Um, so I, yeah, so I've tried that.
[08:14]
He said, as soon as you see it, you feel it coming, boom, you take them straight away
[08:18]
and then you try to get home and lie down.
[08:21]
Um, which I, yeah, as I said, I tried, but it's sure I, maybe it made me go to go to
[08:26]
sleep because I'm not used to take painkillers.
[08:28]
So it definitely sent me to sleep.
[08:30]
But when I wake up, you know, later on, I still have it.
[08:33]
I feel really awful in my tummy and the following day I still feel completely out of it.
[08:39]
So it doesn't really work for me.
[08:42]
You're feeling a bit like medication hangover.
[08:45]
I just, I mean, obviously you're really tired from your having a migraine, but yeah, medication
[08:50]
doesn't really help.
[08:52]
And so then do you need to cancel things then?
[08:57]
Um, well, like I said, like sometimes I'm not there for my children because, you know,
[09:01]
I promised them to do something that I can't, um, I had, I had this instance where I had
[09:07]
a friend that I brought, um, to my, to, um, to type of, you know, to give her a bit of
[09:14]
And halfway through we actually, I start having a migraine.
[09:17]
I have to ask her to finish the travel for me.
[09:19]
I asked her to drive an hour and a half.
[09:21]
She was a bit nervous about that.
[09:23]
And then we got to, we got to destination and then I had this great play, great day planned
[09:27]
for her and I couldn't do any of it.
[09:30]
I said, I'm sorry, I've got a migraine.
[09:31]
I just have to go and lie down.
[09:32]
So that was a real disappointment.
[09:34]
Um, and, and yeah, so recently as well, I just, um, I, as you know, I've, I've lived
[09:40]
in Hong Kong for 10 years and I've got all these amazing friends in Hong Kong who's become
[09:44]
my family and quite a few of us were here in New Zealand.
[09:47]
So we decided to do this big party and had caterers and all that.
[09:50]
It was, I was so looking forward to that night.
[09:52]
I was so excited and, and, and so I went and, and my husband always said to me, I'm a bit
[09:59]
boring because I don't drink enough alcohol.
[10:00]
So I thought, oh, tonight I'm going to, I'm going to have a great time.
[10:03]
I'm going to have a bit more to drink and be a bit silly and, you know, let my head
[10:08]
down and have fun anyway.
[10:09]
So I had a couple of champagne that night and boom, straight away, within an hour, start
[10:14]
having blue vision and I'm like, oh my God, start feeling pain in my tummy.
[10:18]
I'm like, this is it.
[10:20]
And I was just talking to a good friend of mine, which actually is the husband of my
[10:25]
So I don't usually spend a lot of time with him and we're having this great conversation.
[10:27]
Then all of a sudden I start feeling really ill and I'm like, let's tell him, I said,
[10:32]
Not that I'm not enjoying this conversation, but I'm actually having a migraine and I need
[10:37]
And he just looked at me like, okay, the poor guy, I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
[10:42]
And then my husband was just arriving at the party and I said to him, you should take
[10:47]
I've got a migraine.
[10:48]
He looked at me like, he could tell he was so disappointed because we're going to have
[10:52]
Well, now we're roommates and now I'm like, I have to go home.
[10:54]
So anyway, I went home and he said to me, and actually a few people said to me, oh,
[10:59]
take some paddles.
[11:01]
And then, and then even my husband took me all the way home.
[11:03]
He says, oh, you want me to get you some new paddles?
[11:05]
I said, no, I'm not going to take anything like that.
[11:08]
And he looked at me, he says, but wow, I said, I think now I know how to handle my
[11:14]
So I'm going to have my little tisane and I'm going to go to bed and then hopefully
[11:18]
I will feel okay in two hours.
[11:20]
So that's what I did.
[11:21]
I had, you know, a few little things that I know potentially could help, fell asleep.
[11:27]
And then two hours later I woke up and the aura was gone.
[11:31]
I still felt exhausted because, and I still have a bit of a, um, you know, a headache
[11:36]
at the back, but very mild that I could actually function.
[11:39]
So yeah, I got up and I went back to the party and had a great time with my friends.
[11:46]
I mean, I didn't drink any more alcohol.
[11:48]
So you can, but I, yeah.
[11:49]
But even though my friends, when they saw me coming, it's like, I got to bring you back.
[11:53]
They were all like yelling and all excited for me.
[11:55]
And yeah, and it's funny because I said, see, I just, maybe I just can't do champagne anymore.
[12:01]
And my friend's like, oh, don't be silly.
[12:04]
And I said, well, no, because look, I almost missed out on this great party.
[12:10]
And you were soaking to see your friends.
[12:12]
And I was, the FOMO was weird.
[12:13]
I got home and I had to go to bed.
[12:15]
I was still all dressed up and I think I was like, let's just stay all dressed up because
[12:19]
maybe I'll wake up and I can still go.
[12:21]
Maybe I can manage this one out.
[12:23]
Was it a special moment in your cycle?
[12:26]
It was exactly, I think the beginning of my cycle.
[12:29]
So I mean, I should have known better.
[12:31]
So it was a champagne and that time was an acute champagne or a very expensive champagne.
[12:38]
It was very nice champagne.
[12:40]
But yeah, it was silly because I, you know, but that's the thing.
[12:43]
You get to learn more and more about your limitation.
[12:48]
And I think that's great.
[12:49]
I have to thank you because even though I was already, I could see the signs, but yeah,
[12:54]
I think you empower me to listen more to the sign and actually to pay really attention.
[12:58]
I think, you know, maybe you follow me for like three or four months and then, you know,
[13:04]
because every day you're saying how you're feeling and, you know, you're taking all these
[13:07]
things and you can tell how you're feeling about, you know, every day and then you start
[13:10]
realizing, oh, actually it's linked to my cycle and usually it's two days before my
[13:17]
So that's when, you know, five days before that, I have to start being very careful about
[13:20]
what, you know, what the things that could add to my diet to help me and, you know, and
[13:24]
the thing at 50 should be drinking alcohol.
[13:28]
Because indeed, as you had sort of studied migraines for two years, this is when we met.
[13:35]
Do you want to quickly comment on when we met?
[13:37]
We haven't talked about that.
[13:39]
So Deanne and I, we're both Belgian.
[13:44]
And as we know, there's not many Belgians in New Zealand, so that was quite cool.
[13:48]
And we met with another Belgian guy who used to come back and forth for work.
[13:52]
And I remember him saying, I can't believe you don't have any Belgian friends in your
[13:57]
I moved here three years ago and I guess pandemic and all that.
[14:00]
I said, I just, yeah, I don't know how to meet them.
[14:03]
And I only had one other from the school, but she's Flemish Belgian, so it's a bit different.
[14:07]
Not in a bad way, but just, we still speak English, so it just became strange.
[14:11]
Anyway, so then he said, I'm going to bring you Deanne.
[14:14]
I think you and, you know, you'll hit off really well.
[14:17]
And so anyway, so you came and then, yes, I think it was so much in common.
[14:23]
The fact that we both lived in Asia, we've been expat for a long time.
[14:27]
We've got children, same age.
[14:29]
And also, you know, you're very interested in, I think we get the same idea about how
[14:35]
to look after our own health and how to try to empower ourselves and actually think that
[14:41]
we can make a difference for our own, you know, and actually look into it.
[14:45]
Not just saying, oh yeah, I wish I could do that.
[14:47]
And then you just wait for somebody to rescue you.
[14:49]
I think I've always had a part where I've always been very interested in what I'm eating
[14:54]
and how can I make it better for my children?
[14:57]
Not taking too much medication if I can't help it, you know?
[15:02]
And I remember, so we sat on your sofa outside and we talked about lots of things.
[15:06]
We talked about your work in jewellery.
[15:10]
And we talked a little bit about my work and we really hit it off.
[15:16]
And then later, I think a couple of days later, or maybe you took the test, I remember.
[15:21]
I don't know how you felt about it.
[15:23]
Because when you mentioned migraine, I was like, I just think the universe is like so
[15:28]
Because I feel the last few years have been like that.
[15:31]
Like I have those migraines a bit more regularly and then, boom, Diane appears in my life and
[15:35]
says, that's what she does.
[15:38]
Like, and I'm like, this is a sign.
[15:40]
And when you have those signs, you have to look into it and you actually have to think,
[15:43]
OK, maybe there's something into it.
[15:44]
And if there is, there's nothing.
[15:47]
At least you gave it a shot, right?
[15:48]
And that's what I was like, I'm definitely going to follow up on.
[15:50]
You said, oh, you should reach out to me and, you know, see if I can help you.
[15:53]
And I was like, I'm definitely doing that.
[15:56]
So I said, I'd love to try.
[15:57]
And then I did the test and, yeah, and then you helped me for a few months, which was
[16:04]
And then you start to learn about your body.
[16:05]
And I love that story where you go to a party and you resist medications.
[16:10]
You take a few infusions and you're back to your party.
[16:13]
I think it's finale.
[16:14]
And I remember you saying to me, you'll do this for your migraine, but then actually
[16:18]
it's going to open you up to realizing how good you can feel and you become addicted
[16:24]
to it and you're going to want to look more and more and more into your health.
[16:27]
And it's really that you really open a can of worms.
[16:29]
And I was actually just having a conversation last night with my husband about it.
[16:33]
I'm 42, so I guess I'm quite young, depending on who you compare yourself to.
[16:38]
But I think I've never felt as good in my life.
[16:44]
I mean, I probably did when I was super young, but, you know, I don't have any pain or
[16:50]
I have heaps of energy.
[16:53]
I just I feel great.
[16:54]
I feel really empowered by that.
[16:55]
And that's why I said to him, I said, you know, it's amazing that, you know, I've
[16:59]
learned all these things and I feel like it's really helped me out in a big way and, you
[17:06]
It's an amazing feeling.
[17:07]
Oftentimes when I meet women, I think of when the first onset of migraine was and I'm like,
[17:14]
OK, let's go and take you back one year before that health wise.
[17:18]
And it's that phenomenon of I can do anything and and I can actually converse with my body
[17:24]
and I can listen to it and I can attend to it and I can get the results I'm after.
[17:28]
And each time I'm doing that once, I'm just learning a little bit more about about me.
[17:36]
So no, I have to thank you for that.
[17:39]
The power of food, the power of nature.
[17:40]
You have a beautiful herb garden yourself.
[17:44]
And you really walk your talk.
[17:45]
So it's really nice to see you.
[17:48]
No, I'm passionate about growing your own things.
[17:49]
I feel like we have to take a part in all of that being sustainable, you know, all of
[17:53]
this has been important to me.
[17:54]
So it's just, you know, it's like the full circle of life at the end of the day, you
[18:01]
I mean, how were all these people surviving before we had all these medication for absolutely
[18:07]
And all the medication, usually the thing that started it was a plant or, you know,
[18:13]
So I feel like we are losing that.
[18:16]
And it's not always easy to find the knowledge.
[18:17]
And also, what what will correspond to you, what will relieve you from a migraine can
[18:23]
give a migraine to someone else.
[18:26]
And so so that's a complexity to navigate.
[18:29]
But once you know how your body works, that's, I guess, all you need to know.
[18:33]
And I think also we're in a days and age where we go to the doctor and we want him to tell
[18:38]
us what's wrong with us.
[18:39]
And we want him to give the magic pill to us and go home.
[18:42]
And within three days, we're going to be fine.
[18:44]
And actually, this is not how sometimes it works.
[18:48]
And that's what I loved about your work is, you know, it's like it's you know, you you
[18:51]
learn more and more about what works and what doesn't work for you.
[18:54]
It's very empowering in the end when you actually get the right medication, you know, through
[18:59]
the normal health.
[19:01]
Through the plants and supplement, whatever you're going to take.
[19:03]
But that's really powerful.
[19:05]
You have that in your kitchen.
[19:06]
You can, you know, self-adjust.
[19:11]
A lot of women, I find, you know, have lost their sense of intuition.
[19:13]
Like initially you had that intuition when you were on the beach in Sydney, but then
[19:17]
sometimes you find in that moment and sometimes you get a bit lost because, you know, intuitively
[19:22]
things don't make a lot of sense.
[19:24]
That can also happen.
[19:26]
But the recourse to, OK, I'm going to take a pill to silence that noise is, yeah, it's
[19:35]
Especially when it doesn't really work.
[19:36]
You think, oh, is it really?
[19:37]
And you don't know, actually.
[19:38]
If I didn't take that pill, maybe my symptoms would be even worse.
[19:41]
So maybe you think it's working, but no, absolutely.
[19:45]
But, you know, if I didn't work with you and I went to that party a few weeks ago and I
[19:51]
would have come home and take those pills, there's no way I would have come back.
[19:56]
But now I was able to go back and I didn't take anything.
[19:59]
That is incredible.
[20:01]
What I've learned, like working with all of these women, is the ability to stop a migraine
[20:05]
when it starts, like at different stages, it's like you can actually stop it in its
[20:10]
course once you start to really know yourself.
[20:12]
And I love that example because it's really like all of the advice that you received and
[20:18]
that you fought because you know yourself and your instinct to go in your kitchen and
[20:22]
know yourself what to take.
[20:24]
And also why the migraine occurred in the first place.
[20:27]
Yeah, that's right.
[20:28]
Because I had the same thing.
[20:29]
I had a whole band of insomnia for a while, which was kind of similar time where we start
[20:36]
And I remember having a dinner with a doctor at my house and she's a cancer doctor.
[20:41]
She's helped so many women with breast cancer.
[20:44]
She's unbelievable.
[20:45]
And herself has insomnia.
[20:46]
And anyway, I was saying to her, oh God, I'm just, I'm at the end of it.
[20:50]
I've got insomnia.
[20:51]
I just don't sleep.
[20:53]
And of course, then I'm having more migraine and there's all the other things that's happening.
[20:57]
Remember her saying, oh, well, you know, I'm taking this, what's the thing, the natural
[21:02]
Every night it works a charm.
[21:05]
And she was taking quite a bit.
[21:06]
And I'm like, but don't you feel like you have to take more and more and more?
[21:10]
And is that not an issue long term?
[21:12]
She said, no, it's all natural.
[21:14]
You should do that.
[21:15]
And I remember saying to her, I said, I'm actually really not keen to take melatonin.
[21:20]
And that's another, you know, because I took it when I was much younger and it was a terrible
[21:25]
And I said, I feel like I need to go to the core of the problem because I'm 42 and I'm
[21:30]
pretty much very healthy.
[21:32]
Why am I not sleeping?
[21:33]
And I've got a great life.
[21:34]
I've got a husband who loves me, beautiful children.
[21:38]
I mean, everything's good.
[21:40]
But I can't sleep.
[21:41]
So there's obviously something out there.
[21:42]
And and I remember her saying, oh, but just take melatonin because actually you need to
[21:45]
sleep and then, you know, the migraine will go because you've been more rest now.
[21:49]
Anyway, she's also have terrible migraine, I think, because obviously she's not sleeping
[21:55]
that well because even though the melatonin make her sleep, probably doesn't make her
[21:59]
And she has migraine.
[22:00]
I told her about you.
[22:01]
And I think she's a very busy doctor and I think she does not allow herself to take the
[22:06]
time to think about it.
[22:09]
Otherwise, it catches up with you.
[22:10]
And melatonin, you know, maybe I'll do a podcast just on melatonin and migraines.
[22:16]
I'd say your intuition is right.
[22:20]
It's not so much that melatonin is not very natural, but I see that women really struggle
[22:24]
to get rid of it physically.
[22:26]
So my hypothesis is that it stays stuck in the large intestine and therefore creates
[22:31]
more toxicity for the vagus nerve and therefore, long term, permeates into sort of constant
[22:39]
migraine at a minimum, like a light to a mild migraine, which sort of never goes away anymore.
[22:46]
But imagine for somebody like her who's saving lives and she's actually not on top of her
[22:50]
own migraine and she, you know, it's just...
[22:55]
It's extremely hard.
[22:58]
And so when you think of her or when you think of other women, we've talked a little bit,
[23:01]
like, you know, I take care of women who have, you know, on a scale of one to ten, ten being
[23:06]
the highest, they're at eight or nine every single day.
[23:09]
And these are, you know, women who, they don't, they don't live really, they live a life in
[23:16]
between parenthesis, live a life that are absolutely controlled and governed by migraines.
[23:22]
What sort of messages would you have for these women?
[23:26]
Well, I think if you live like that, I think why would you give it a shot at everything?
[23:31]
And definitely I would, I would just make it a priority to try this because, you know,
[23:37]
what do you have to lose?
[23:38]
You only have something to gain, really.
[23:41]
And I mean, for me, when I have a migraine, it's also probably level eight, but it lasts
[23:46]
And I know every, every time at the end of the day, I'm like, and when it's, when I'm
[23:51]
finally, finally feeling good, I'm like, oh my God, thank God this is just one day.
[23:55]
And I always think about people who are sick with cancer and have sick, all these different
[23:58]
medicine and feel terrible.
[23:59]
And I'm like, I understand what, sorry, I shouldn't say that, but what people and their
[24:03]
life because it's not living.
[24:07]
So it's really, you know, it's very important to listen to your body and actually try something
[24:12]
like this because it's completely worked for me.
[24:16]
And it's changed my life because I'm not as anxious as I used to be around, around the
[24:22]
And yeah, and then knowing as well the power to know that if one comes, I know how to deal
[24:28]
And, you know, 80% of the time I'll be fine.
[24:32]
And that's pretty amazing.
[24:36]
It does take the anxiety away.
[24:39]
Thank you very much.
[24:40]
Thank you for your time.
[24:41]
And thank you for welcoming me in your life.
