Joe’s Blog

Bradley knew his migraine headaches were bad. Bad enough to even send him to the emergency room on occasion. Then one day someone suggested he try bicycle riding. Getting his old bike out of the garage he started riding a mile every day. Gradually he worked himself into shape and noticed that his headaches were less painful and less frequent. Things contined to gradually improve until his nearualgist took him off his primary medication.

Then in December, just a few months later, Bradley moved from California to Georgia and skipped riding for nearly a month.  The headaches came back with a vengeance, putting him in the ER on Christmas Eve 2005.

Noticing the relationship between the Migraines and bike riding Bradley began keeping track of when he road and when he got attacks. He thought to himself “I should make a website for this.” Then he discovered Joe’s Goals.

Bradley has been using Joe’s Goals to track his attacks (-1 point), the times he has to take medication (-1 point), his cycling activity (+1 point), and when he wakes up in the morning (+1 point). Printing out the 30 day report he took it too his neurologist and the results surprised both of them.  After reviewing the results the neurologist looked up and said “Why would you ever stop cycling?”

Why indeed. You can read a lot more about Bradley story and his success with Migraines by visiting his Faith From Pain weblog.

Note from Joe: I just want to say that stuff like this really excites me. Joe’s Goals was designed exacutlly for cases like this where you want to track and compare your results, your successes, and your failures. My hopes and prayers are with you Bradley and I’m glad I can be a small part of your success. Keep plugging away!
