Library Blog experience

My experience with the subject librarian was alright. I felt like the TA and herself didn't really see where the group was at and then teach them from there but instead taught the same lesson as they do no matter who the group is. Since I have already written a few short research papers, I already knew the basics and was hoping to learn more than was presented. I did find out about the different databases besides PubMED and how to better search the databases. I kept getting a large number of results, but with the suggestion of a few word changes and additions I was able to narrow my search down quite significantly. I am still trying to see the exact direction I want to go with the vast amount of sources and research I have already found, but the time with the librarian was a push in the right direction. I am currently researching the correlation between Fibromyalgia and migraines. Using PyscINFO, I have been able to find many studies that talk about that exact thing. I learned that having both Fibromyalgia and migraines is mainly in females. Males with Fibromyalgia do not have an increased chance of getting migraines unlike females that do. I have also learned about various treatments such as: rTMS and increasing neurotrophin levels in CSF that have been thought to help with either Fibromyalgia or migraines.
