Hi, My name is Penny Kembel...I am new to this site....Ty for letting me join. I am wondring why my pattern is not giving me white teeth. Am I doing something wrong....TIA
Debbie,
Wow, if you could make something up to be "adjustable" so to speak, you could pretty much cover everyone's individual taste!
Love that idea!
Oh, no, I'm so sorry your headaches are that bad.
I agree that it sounds a bit
suspect...all of a sudden, you're allergic? I know
allergies can happen at anytime, but something with headaches that
severe sounds very strange (though I'm not by any means a medical
professional!).
Ugh, you're not kidding about any of that...the nausea, sensitivity to light, smells, etc. My migraines can get that way,
though I haven't had issues like that recently, thank
goodness. When I did get them that bad, I'd try to stop
the headaches before they got worse. My solution back
then was caffeine, which was awful, as I have debilitating hot
flashes, and the caffeine would work maybe 20-30% of the time if I
was lucky, so not much. 
The thing that changed is they gave me medication that really did help. 100%. But it's crazy expensive and I still try to discourage a headache from starting before going for the crazy expensive stuff. The only time I don't bother trying caffeine is if I have a big, busy day ahead. The one day I was going out of town, woke up early in the morning with a horrible headache, took a pill and went back to bed. That really did the trick...well, sort of. I went back to bed because otherwise the meds make me sleepy, but then when I woke up there was a terrible pain in my neck/shoulder, and despite not having a headache, I was absolutely miserable, as I was in a place most of the day where I couldn't leave, couldn't get comfortable...for well over 8 hours.
But at least I didn't have the headache by then, which I absolutely would have had if not for the meds!
What meds did they give you, if you don't mind me asking? (LOL, if it's none of my business, that's okay.
) I have something called
Sumatriptan, which is the generic for Imitrex. Even
though it's the generic, it's still crazy expensive. The
"real" stuff used to be $100/pill...the generic is "only"
$10/pill. Now you see why I don't want to take it unless
I really, really need it!
When I'm stuck somewhere that I don't have a pill with me, a headache can be really miserable. If I don't catch it earlier on with either caffeine or a pill, it can last 3 or more days, like yours. Sleeping that way is the
worst. It seems counterproductive to take a pill before
going to sleep, since I'm not doing anything super critical, but
then I have a really miserable night. So I probably
should take a pill if I have a bad headache before going to sleep,
as strange as that seems!
Is it possible your triggers aren't allergy related? I don't know the cause of mine...nobody's ever said, they've just given meds (which thankfully worked), but I've noticed that if I get stressed, clench my jaw, hold my shoulders up, etc, it can lead to a headache. And I know they're migraines because this med is a specific migraine one, so I don't know if it's supposed to work for non-migraines (suspect not), but it's so far worked 100% of the time, whether I took it earlier on with the headache or much later on!
I hope they can find a great solution for you that will help get rid of your migraines. Nobody should have to deal with that kind of awful pain.
Hi, I'm new here and have tried to make my first graph pattern. I made the image in paintshop pro and saved it as both a jpg and giff, which I've tried to use both, to make the pattern. The problem is 2 columns that are to be in white fill up and this happens with both files. The area effected is for a side boarder and the right side comes out fine but the left doesn't. Why can't I get those columns to come out right?

Buggg,
Fantastic - can't wait to
see! And you're so welcome!
And you're so welcome! Nettie,
Welcome! 
The question
that comes to mind here, if I'm understanding this correctly, is:
were there grid lines on the picture you put through the
freePatternWizard? If so, the software isn't set up to recognize
gridlines and remove them. If not, please tell me more about your
picture...is it a jpg or a gif or...? Is it very large or very
small and are you attempting to use the freePatternWizard to resize
it? (This is not recommended.)
