- [1. I appear to be normal](https://www.paulinedowling.com/i-appear-to-be-normal/) - In the league table of conditions migraine is low. It’s down there with depression, fibromyalgia, ME etc. Novelists use it to explain female absences or backsliding: ‘She has one of her migraines,’ as though she could have anyone else’s. I hate them for it. When I was young it was said that having migraines was
- [2. The venue must be trashed](https://www.paulinedowling.com/the-venue-must-be-trashed/) - I enter my other world where pain – a brutal sun – rises so slowly I hardly know its pointless orbit has begun Then – too late – it floods my landscape. Higher, harsher more violent rays find my soul and all dreams die I live of course – nothing as numb as death appears
- [3. Chasing Cures 1](https://www.paulinedowling.com/chasing-cures/) - Some people chase storms, some rainbows, hopes and dreams, but anyone with a condition chases explanations, relief and cures. Presenting as a possible migraine sufferer means a serious symptom exam. Not every headache is a migraine. My London doctor was thorough, as indeed all doctors have been. The first question: is your pain on one
- [4. Chasing Cures 2:  Prophylactics](https://www.paulinedowling.com/chasing-cures-2-prophylactics/) - Prophylactics or preventives 815 Prophylactics or daily preventives are where we wander blindfolded into medication for other conditions on a just in case or you never know it might work basis. There are several classes of preventives but the ones I was offered were the Beta-blockers: propranolol, metoprolol and timolol, more normally used to lower
- [5. Medical Tourism 1](https://www.paulinedowling.com/medical-tourism-1/) - Migraines do not readily respond to one medication and even when they do, this can randomly stop, which is why the search continues. I first heard about occlusal splints from a nurse who had worked for a Professor of Oral Medicine at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Glasgow. He had cured her. You must see him,
- [7. PFO: Migraine and the Heart  ](https://www.paulinedowling.com/pfo-migraine-and-the-heart/) - What causes migraines remains poorly understood. (Not my words.) But in some cases, the headache symptoms have been linked to a common hole in the heart called a patent foramen ovale, or PFO. Since 2000, some medical reports have indicated that repairing the hole for other reasons can also bring migraine relief. These are largely
- [6.  Medical Tourism 2](https://www.paulinedowling.com/medical-tourism-2/) - When I was really ill and in unbearable pain, I sometimes asked my GP for morphine. He always refused. Then I read about a woman in Glasgow who died an hour after being given a morphine injection; she had been given 20 times the dose. That cured me. Between July and September 1998, I tried
- [8. Alternative Practitioners 1](https://www.paulinedowling.com/alternative-practitioners-1/) - 'Your migraines will go if you are ready to let them go!' Alternative speak for it’s your fault. Anyone with a condition probably thinks there must be a person or therapy waiting to change her life. The reason: we know the world would prefer we were normal. And so, hope gorges on pain. I have
- [10. Gadgets and Headlines](https://www.paulinedowling.com/10-gadgets-and-headlines/) - Simply wanting to be reliable has led me to purchase what appear to be pain-busting gadgetry, all with varying degrees of credibility. Many conditions are targeted in this way, and migraine is particularly vulnerable, being unpredictable and with many symptoms. In earlier times I was often sent press cuttings by well-meaning folk, but these days
- [11. EMDR and antidepressants](https://www.paulinedowling.com/11-emdr-and-antidepressants/) - Stress is often said to be a trigger for migraines and while this can be so, it is unhelpful and vague. Stress! What is that? One woman’s stress is another woman’s spur to action! I always prefer overload. And then, because migraine is complicated and involves the brain, and it has stumped the brightest and
- [12. The positives outweigh the negatives](https://www.paulinedowling.com/12-the-positives-outweigh-the-negatives/) - I often say I have two great loves, yoga and migraines, as both have taught me so much. The well world disbelieves my claim about migraine. Yoga yes; migraine no. While it is true this condition has orchestrated my life in often inconvenient ways, it has been far from completely negative. Certainly, several things are
- [13. Travel](https://www.paulinedowling.com/13-travel/) -  ‘Oh no she doesn’t get migraines does she.’ I heard these words the first time I slept in my partner’s mother’s house and was too ill to get up! He was not my husband then, but I had flown from New Zealand to inspect him in his natural habitat. I was not only exhausted but
- [14. Conclusion](https://www.paulinedowling.com/14-amelioration/) - My search for explanations, cures or even temporary relief never ceased until relatively recently when I finally grasped that shutting down when overloaded, in whatever way, was just how I operated/survived. Having accepted this, I stopped being in conflict with myself. Better still I stopped trying to project a well person unhindered by a condition
- [Video series](https://www.paulinedowling.com/video-series/) - All asanas are tadasana with variations. All are balances of the outer body, inner body and outer and inner beings. All start with a breath and are measured in breaths. I was trained by BKS Iyengar. I am not an Iyengar teacher as we all become our own yoga. More about this at my main
- [9. Alternative practitioners 2](https://www.paulinedowling.com/alternative-practitioners-2/) - I do not hold with the division between allopathic medicine and the rest. Anyone I consult is an equal partner attempting to solve a mystery: how the human body/mind functions or not. Allopathic medicine is an expression commonly used by homeopaths to describe the use of pharmacology or physical interventions to treat or suppress symptoms.
- [Water 3](https://www.paulinedowling.com/water-3-achnacroish-a-shared-system/) - Achnacroish – a shared system Private domestic water supplies, while complicated, are comparatively simple.

Keeping water pure and running so they can operate safely is a huge job for the volunteers who run these places. True heroes. But it
- [Water 1](https://www.paulinedowling.com/water-part-one/) - The February 2021 rainfall was 46% below the 20 year average (91.60 mm). January was 21% below. This is relevant because..... The fundamental difference between mainland life and island life is water: it surrounds us, it falls on us, we try to keep it out of our houses or we must pipe it in. Our
- [Water 2 The Sea The sea](https://www.paulinedowling.com/water-part-2-the-sea-the-sea/) - How many times have you been told how lucky you are to live here. Mostly in the summer and by dewy eyed visitors who are not fighting horizontal rain. Fact is, visitor, I may say ghoulishly, Lismore is lucky to have me. And you are lucky to have met me and had the freedom to

- [In Search of St Moluag](https://www.paulinedowling.com/in-search-of-st-moluag/) - Of all the Irish missionaries who crossed the sea in coracles to bring Christianity to these islands, St Moluag is one of the least known and venerated. Yet, it was not always so. If reports are to be believed, he had a busy life travelling extensively from Lismore to establish communities similar to the one
- [The Future of Lismore church](https://www.paulinedowling.com/the-future-of-lismore-church/) - The building we now know as Lismore Parish Church was once the Cathedral Church of St Moluag. It was built by the MacDougalls sometime in the 13th century, although evidence of exact dates is not easy to find. It was dedicated to St Moluag who had chosen the site now known as Clachan as the

- [Housing and the Homeless 3](https://www.paulinedowling.com/housing-and-the-homeless-pt-3/) - Part 3: How residents' houses become empty or holiday lets When Liosaich die or move for health reasons, it's always a time of great sadness for islanders, especially when we see their once bright homes lying empty. From one day to the next, a family home becomes a second home. The non-resident Liosaich who inherit

- [Going Bananas](https://www.paulinedowling.com/going-bananas/) - Going Bananas Going to work with my husband was a weird idea, but, if I wanted to see Captain Stuart MacCormick Ross for more than four months a year, it had to be done.

- [Lismore Public hall - our vital hub](https://www.paulinedowling.com/lismore-public-hall-our-vital-hub/) - Lismore Public Hall is the most important hub of the island and, before the Heritage Centre, the only place, along with the church, where islanders met as a community. Obviously COVID-19 locked it down, but before that it was the home of ceilidhs, country dancing, concerts, parties, sales of work, keep fit, Burns suppers, exhibitions
- [The lost village of Port a' Charrain](https://www.paulinedowling.com/the-lost-village-of-port-a-charrain/) - A flock of sheep are stock-still on the beach, heads raised, horns alert. A curlew, a blackbird, and a gull are busily rearranging the seaweed; they appear to be squabbling. Three oystercatchers are hurrying somewhere. A heron, like a predatory medieval cleric (can’t explain that metaphor I just like it), is looking on snootily from
- [COVID-19 Exhibition, Big Noise Scotland, Big noise Lismore](https://www.paulinedowling.com/blog-12-the-covid-exhibition-and-big-noise/) - 24 August 2020 The sea is silky, shadowed and inviting, the sky dappled with non-threatening clouds. Alas, Storm Francis is battering its way north. It’s early to name storms. Biked to the museum yesterday on bike-busy roads. Plenty of wandering cyclists plus a large family with a dog occupying the entire road. They looked surprised

The latest news is the following FB message from the doctor: I know all these
- [Visitors](https://www.paulinedowling.com/10222-2/) - Sunday 09 August 2020 Another scorcher. We cherish good weather as the thirsty cherish water. Yoga on the decking again. Next door, Strathlorn, is now a self-catering rental and this week’s renters are keen and competent paddleboarders. The house wasn’t there when we arrived in 1990.

On that Saturday, at 3 Newfield Terrace, the late Donald John and Margaret MacDonald with their children Peggy and Lachlan (and a few dignitaries) stared up and witnessed a lightbulb becoming bright. Peggy looks suitably sceptical! And why was Lismore
- [Christmas and Hogmanay on Lockdown Lismore](https://www.paulinedowling.com/lockdown-lismore-christmas-and-hogmanay/) - Has it ever happened before? First footing nil. New Year’s dance nil. Watchnight service nil. Virus Three. Sadly they were germ-fests; we had to forgo them. Our second complete lockdown started on Boxing Day. We were already in Level 4, so it is not like March 2020 when some were shielding, others advised to stay at
- [Exquisite weather](https://www.paulinedowling.com/blog-01/) - Saturday 08 August 2020 An exquisite day. A heron is stealthily stalking the shore. A balletic bird and a frequent visitor. Since we came out of total lockdown in the middle of July, the roads and seas are busy as never before. Ships, kayaks, paddle boards, cyclists, ferries, walkers, dogs. Wordsworth’s idealised and overly romantic
- [The Heritage](https://www.paulinedowling.com/blog-3/) - Monday 10 August 2020 Another hot day. Trouble sleeping, so listened gripped to a dramatisation of three of New Zealand writer Katherine Mansfield’s short stories.

This was my first visit since 19 March (the day before lockdown) when I went for a haircut and overdue eye test, but not before agonising about whether it was worth the risk. Yesterday I was uber careful; no-one wants to
- [The School Board](https://www.paulinedowling.com/blog06-the-school-board/) - 14 August 2020 Yesterday it was so hot, we biked only as far as the church. I love writing that. Lismore—advanced heat. Let's boast. The island is like a velodrome. Bikes everywhere. Some wobbly, some racing and many with no idea that biking on the left is a good idea. Worse no bells or no bell
- [Boreholes](https://www.paulinedowling.com/blog07-boreholes/) - 15 August 2020 Another roasting day in the office. Great walk yesterday. A repeat with variations. The roads were flowing with cyclists again, but we went as far as the heritage centre and then walked into Balnagown, on to Connel’s croft, once notable boatbuilders of Lismore, and over a rickety stile and eventually turning back
- [Johnnie Mac and Marlene MacKinnon](https://www.paulinedowling.com/blog08-johnnie-mac-marlene-mackinnon/) - 16 August 2020 Cooler today. Still fine, but the heat in my study is bearable. Possibly our hottest walk ever yesterday. Biked to the heritage centre and walked to Balnagown, climbing down a very overgrown steep track to the raised beach. Backtracked to the wall at Tirfuir through a beech-tree planted glade which, we learnt, is
- [Achinduin](https://www.paulinedowling.com/blog-09-achinduin/) - 17 August 2020 Yesterday, on another truly summer's day, we drove to Achinduin to walk the south coast raised beach. We had done this is June but on a slightly different route. As we went between the houses, I realised how, as a northerner, I have not walked here often in the last 30 years. And that

Yesterday was a great day for a walk to Bernera Island fully described in walk section. It lies off the south-west coast, so you need to know the tides. Two hours before low water we crossed on perilously slippery semi submerged stones and seaweed,
- [Hares, rubbish broadband, lost financial probity](https://www.paulinedowling.com/blog-13-bernera-hares-lost-financial-probity/) - 26 August 2020 Amy is here cleaning my shiny surfaces. As I type I hear soothing sounds with the odd squeak as she cleans the windows outside. Music as good as Bach. She arrived on her bike in the rain clasping her bucket and pole. Whatever the opposite of wimp is, that’s Amy. Trouper perhaps.
- [New Year's Day, a swim and yoga](https://www.paulinedowling.com/new-years-day-2021-blog/) - We may be in Level Four and to all intents and purposes locked-down, but this day has started perfectly.
