I have no idea what such an award would look like, though...

I would like to thank the Academy of Disabled People With Balanced Varied Medical Treatments; my lovely husband Adam and heart-sister Charlotte for keeping me sane through chronic pain these last couple of weeks; and pills such as Soma, Ultram, Baclofen, Klonopin, Zoloft, Trileptal, Picamilon, Aswagandha, Sea Buckthorn, Moringa, MSM, and Shilajit for soothing my pains and easing the worst of my symptoms.
Drugs, exercises, alternative medicines, and treatments don't solve all the problems, but like levees they do help hold back most of the tides and the floods, and even sometimes the tsunamis depending on strength and power. I stand here before you holding this award with pride, because I have found my own ways to support my levees, and I hold you all in high esteem and great love, because I know you will all find your own ways to support your levees, and I hope to applaud every single one of you some day. Thank you.

Also, I still have the migraine I woke up with, but the Picamilon and L-Theanine and Soma made it a little better.
I need to learn more about neurochemistry, because the formula behind Picamilon is fucking fascinating: 4-(pyridine-3-carbonylamino)butanoic acid (IUPAC name). Resarch says: Picamilon is able to cross the blood–brain barrier and then is hydrolyzed into GABA and niacin. The released GABA in theory would activate GABA receptors potentially producing an anxiolytic response. The second released component, niacin acts as a strong vasodilator, which might be useful for the treatment of migraine headaches.
In Russia, Picamilon is used for treatment of these illness.
1.Violations of cerebral blood flow (ischemic acute, subacute and rehabilitation period of ischemic stroke, chronic insufficiency of cerebral blood flow);
2.Vasoneurosis;
3.Asthenia;
4.Depression;
5.Senile psychosis;
6.Alcohol (period of abstinence), acute alcohol intoxication;
7.Migraine
8.Craniocerebral trauma
9.Neuroinfections;
10.Primary open-angle glaucoma (for stabilization of visual function).

In conclusion: Depending on individual body and brain chemistry, drugs and supplemental drugs are totally awesome and can pull a person out of an ongoing episode so well that it surprises said person since they were so used to living in the episode.

Ah biochemistry. I miss it. (BSc in 1988). Also, my migraines are vasodilatory and so niacin would make them worse.
