It has been a really good 2 years, but time is something that I no longer have much of due to having a 14 month old son and recently I have become the treasurer of a local charity. All of this means that it is time to move on and so I have putting the domain name www.kosherforclothes.com up for sale. Please contact me on shop@kosherforclothes.com if you have any interest in purchasing the domain name.
The domain name "Kosher For Clothes" is up for sale. It is perfect for a modest shop to use as it already gets over 100 hits per week and has the capacity for so much more. It also has the catchy acronym KFC. Contact me via email for more information and to show your interest.
Please note that the hosting site is currently down, but this does not effect the domian name.

Modest Swimwear
Let's bring this blog back to what it started with. MODEST CLOTHES. All that talk about migraines has now been moved to a home of its own here... http://anothermigraine.blogspot.com/.
We have just introduced a brilliant idea in modest swimwear. Not only is it modest, but it is stylish, convenient and protects you from those harmful UV rays as well. Check it all out in our newly openned department:
http://www.kosherforclothes.com/swimwear
I will be adding more lines very soon so keep checking the web site out. We are importing these from America so the postage charged is slightly higher than we would usually charge. But, looking around, it still gives you a fantasticly competitivly priced piece of clothing
We are always on the look-out for more great modest ideas, so drop me a line if you have any ideas.

Triptans
There are so many different types of alternative medicines that is can be difficult to decide which one to go for first. It is also easy to forget that there is an alternative to the alternative. Good old fashioned doctors. So I made an appointment and went along. They confirmed that I was suffering from migraines. It was nice to have it confirmed after so many years of suffering exactly what the pain was and that I wasn't going to collapse at any minute. Their first piece of advise was that I take over the counter drugs as these quite often work. I had already worked my way through all of these from paracetamol, to nurofen, to sinus cures and none of them touched the pain.
The docs then introduced me to the world of triptans. There are about 8 or so different triptans on the market and no way of telling which one will work for you. This came as a bit of a surprise to me. Surely the doctors would know how the drugs work and which one would be best for me? But, no. It is a case of simple trial and error. So off I went on an unknown adventure into the world of triptans.
Triptan 1 - I can't remember the name of this triptan as I only took a few of them. There was no change to the pain and no side effects. This wasn't the best start, but I persevered.
Triptan 2 - Zolmitriptan (Zomig). I wasn't expecting much. After all the first triptan hardly set my world alight. This triptan was different. This triptan was evil (please note that this triptan does work for a lot of people so please don't let my experience put you off). The effects were startling by their severity. About 1/2 an hour after taking the tiny tinsy tablet my whole world ground to a halt. My head started to spin, my vision was blurred, my movements were hampered like I was walking through treacle. Somehow, I had just driven and parked outside of the Synagogue where I was learning that evening and luckily I was a bit early. I lent my head back on my chair to try and clear the muggy feeling and half an hour later, woke up. The worst of the pain had gone but my tongue felt furry and twice the size and the world was still slightly sluggish. There was a stark similarity to a hangover. There was even a slight sicky feeling. Zomig had got rid of my migraine, so that's good. But, the side effects were not overly desirable which was very bad.
3 - Rizatriptan (Maxalt). Not perfect, but definitely the best yet. You have to take a triptan as soon as the symptoms appear. This is because a migraine will slow your metabolism so waiting too long means that the tablet would not be digested properly and thus might not be as effective. It took me a while to get past the "it's just a small headache and the pain will go soon" stage. Taking this route means missing the window of effectiveness for the triptan and it won't work. But did Maxalt it work? No and yes. The no is because immediately after taking the tiny little tablet, the pain gets a lot worse as the stabbing pain in my head increases. But within an hour, the pain has gone.
So I have found the miracle cure to my migraines. Yay! No longer will I have to suffer the pain and disruption in my life. Sigh... If only it was a simple as that. I will tell you why in my next blog entry.
