At our school they start recorder in 1st grade. They pick up a string instrument in 4th. And can switch to a wind in 5th if they want. And they keep on with the recorder through 8th grade. Music is mandatory. (We have a great HS orchestra!)
I also suffered from bad migraines. I was taking imitrex 1 or 2 times per week for them. My doc stuck me on the BP meds for my boarderline high blood pressure. No help. (But I stayed on them since I was boarderline anyway.)
Today I am pain free. What fixed it? A Chiropractor! I was rear ended in mid-2000. My migraines started to become gradually more frequent. I blamed them on stress, weather, all my other usual triggers. I started to see a message therapist - and that really helped. She's the one who told me - there's stuff here I can't fix - you need to see a Chiropractor. After xrays (never let one touch you without them!) and an assessment - he diagnosed the problems to be in my neck - cuased by the auto accident 5 1/2 years before. I found one with great "hands" and a holistic approach.
No more meds for me! And I'm much less crabby. Chronic pain is just no fun!
BTW: If you are taking OTC "migraine" meds - beware of bounce back. The med can cause more migraines! That happened to me a couple of times. Totally no fun.
I've sent the artwork to our friend with the print shop. He can do shirts, banners, magnets, mugs, whatever. I haven't heard back yet. He might have been on duty this weekend (he's a paramedic on the volunteer fire department). Will let you know when I hear back.
