Problem: Article: Preventive medicines are reserved for severe and hard-to-treat cases because of their side effects. However, if migraines plague you often and affect your quality of life, talk to your doctor. Preventive medicines can make your attacks shorter, less frequent, or less intense. You may be eligible for preventive medicines if: Your migraines regularly last longer than 12 hours. You get four or more migraines per month. Your pain isn't improved by medications. You get a prolonged aura with numbness or weakness. Cardiovascular drugs that usually treat high blood pressure are sometimes used to prevent migraines. Beta-blockers like metoprolol and others, the calcium-channel blocker verapamil, and the ACE inhibitor lisinopril are most commonly used. These are not good options for you if you have a heart condition, smoke cigarettes, or are over 60 years old. Your doctor will take a thorough history and discuss the risks and benefits of other medications with you. The medication amitriptyline is proven to help prevent migraines. Other tricyclics are used sometimes because they have fewer side effects (dry mouth, constipation, tiredness, and weight gain are associated with amitriptyline). Your doctor will help you weigh the risks and benefits of using such a medication to prevent migraines. Venlafaxine (Effexor XR) is an SNRI that may help prevent migraines. Anticonvulsants like valproate and topiramate (Topamax) may cause migraines to occur less frequently. However, these medications can have serious side effects. Valproate cannot be taken if you're pregnant. Botox, or onabotulinumtoxinA, has been shown effective in helping to prevent migraines in adults. Botox is injected into the muscles of the neck and forehead about every 12 weeks in order to work well. If you have chronic migraines, consider discussing this option with your healthcare provider.
Summary: Ask your doctor if you're eligible for preventive migraine medicine. Consider heart medicines. Try a tricyclic antidepressant. Look into anti-seizure drugs. Inquire into botox injections.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whether you've trained your dog for years or have recently become an owner, don't force dogs to meet the way humans do. Humans meet each other face-to-face, look each other in the eye, and consciously use sight as their main sense. For dogs, face-to-face interaction is usually associated with a challenge, and they rely on smell much more than sight. Let the dogs show each other their profiles instead of meeting head-on. Let them walk around each other, and smell where the other has walked. When you meet another dog when you're on a walk, don't pull hard on the leash or make any other gestures that anticipate trouble. Try to remain calm yourself. Your dog will pick up you being nervous, afraid, letting your heart race, and other subtle behavioral cues. If you anticipate a problem, you'll end up setting your dog up for failure. Let the dogs maintain distance, then cross paths, smell where the other has walked, and slowly approach each other. If they stare each other down, show teeth, snarl, or show any other aggressive behaviors, then give a verbal command to get your dog's attention on something else and continue on their walk. Dog parks can be a great social activity for your dog. It's particularly important, however, that you've already exposed your adult dog to others in a one-on-one setting before heading to a dog park. Otherwise, the experience might be overwhelming or even traumatic. Supervise your own and other dogs closely. Interrupt any rough or high-arousal play, like non-stop or fast running. Leave if your dog is being a bully, being bullied, or seems like it's not having any fun. Try to be aware if there are a number of intact males present, and be on your way if there are. Don't offer treats or toys to your dog at a dog park, and don't encourage pack-forming or other competitive or domineering behavior. Don't ever let your dog off its leash in an outdoor setting if it doesn't respond to your verbal commands.

SUMMARY: Let dogs meet their own way. Don't be an anxious handler. Practice good dog park etiquette.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A lot of the time we can get so caught up in working to improve the globe as a whole that we forget there are lots of things that we can do every day at home that have a positive impact too. One of the best things you can do easily and every day is to treat others how you want to be treated. Do something nice for someone as often as you can. This can be small things like making someone a birthday present, or big things like driving someone around until they get their car fixed. When we work together, everything runs more smoothly and we're better able to further invest those gains in benefiting the rest of the globe. Set a good example for your friends and family members, and educate them on the issues so that they can make good decisions too. Help them to understand why these things are important, so that they're also motivated to change their lives. By changing a few minds you can double, triple, or even more greatly increase your positive impact on the world. Almost any job that you get can have a positive impact on your community. You'll be providing a service to people who want it and adding to the economy in your immediate area, improving the lot of everyone around you. It will also give you money that you can use to donate to charity or fund small business loans! When we're surrounded by people who are negative and mean, it makes us sad and pessimistic, making it much harder to get through the other difficulties in life. Let your attitude show everyone that a smile and hopeful attitude can really improve the day of everyone around you. By finding the upsides in tough situations and working hard to fix problems, you can positively impact the people you come into contact with. We have lots of opportunities to be nice and helpful to other people every day. Many times we don't take the opportunity because we think we're too busy or someone else will help. If you want to make the world around you better, just do the right thing and help, instead of thinking that it's someone else's problem. For example, if someone is carrying groceries to their car and they drop a bag, help them by picking up the groceries and loading them back into the bag. The simple things like that are very much appreciated by anyone!
Summary:
Be nice. Set a good example. Get a job. Be positive. Be helpful to everyone.
