      I contacted HIV in 2009, I was told by my doctor that there's no possible cure for HIV. I started taking my ARV's, My CD was 77 and viral load was 112,450. my cousin told me about this herbal Dr. ambala thats helping people get cured and i also saw a lot of testimonials about him on how he uses medicine to cure HIV. I contacted him and told him my problems, He sent me the herbal medicine and I took it for 14 days which was two weeks as he instruct me to take it, after then I went for test check-up and I was cured.

    I’ve had a migraine for the past couple days now along with covid 19. The migraine makes covid seem like a day at the beach. Normally I take an Aleve and it makes the pain and subside all together for however long it decides it wants to work but it’s a constant struggle. I highly recommend to try aleve it may work for you as well, it’s worth a shot.

    Have had mine since I was a kid. It usually starts with some dizziness and then the aura. During the aura, whatever side *not* going to have pain tends to go fully numb, from my arm all the way up to my tongue. It feels almost stroke-like--my fingers will get tingly and then my arm will grow heavy and finally my tongue will have no sensation so I tend to hold it out of my mouth. I have issues talking and thinking. Once the aura starts to fade, then comes the pain. With medicine and a nap, I usually have symptoms for 2-3 days. Looking down or even sitting down too quickly will cause a HUGE amount of throbbing in my head. No triggers or causes the doctors know of but it DOES suck. I truly hope my fellow migraine sufferers can find some relief and just know you're not alone.

      Migraines probably caused me the worst pain I've ever felt in my life so far. The only other thing that could rival the migraines would be a time I woke up at 5am feeling like I had been stabbed in the stomach. It only lasted 1-2 hours but it was hell.

    Yesterday was the first day I had experience a rather painful migraine that I knew was triggered by stress in school and by my own personal problems. I felt chills and joint numbness. It even came to the point I have also experienced my first physically manifestation of a mental breakdown. It was nerve-racking and I feel scared. I don't know if I should seek out professional help or maybe this was just a one time thing.
