good news to std friend

According to the report from stdloving . com, the new subscribers have increased 42% over 2007. Rising STD rate sparks online dating sites.

I never had a problem with hormonal migraines until I hit 48. Then they came on really frequent and really bad, making me stay in bed all day with dry heaves.

As a last resort I tried birth control pills and found 1 every four days stopped the migraines in their tracks!!!

My doctor said that hormone supplement generally create migraines. I was on all kinds of migraine meds but none of them worked at all until I tried the birth control pills and weaned myself off to one every four days. I was only using them for the migraines not birth control. This did not help with hot flashes.

If all else fails try this with your doctors approval.

Good luck/11
