I am so good at gas lighting myself, that I will take painkillers, only feel mild pain afterwards, and then convince myself that I was wrong for taking them to begin with because clearly things weren't that bad.
I AM STILL IN PAIN and I'm convinced I don't need painkillers 🤦

LUTHOR-DANVERS CHILDREN: 001                                                     What lies in the future.(Part 1)
Tumblr media
The following children respectfully belong to LUTHCRBORN & KRYPTCNBORN. They are strictly from our heads for OUR canon only. DO NOT STEAL ! ! ! THESE HEADCANONS WERE THOROUGHLY THOUGHT OUT AND TOOK A LOT OF TIME.
Tumblr media
KYAH ELLE LUTHOR-DANVERS; Kyah was the result of Lena playing around with the idea of having a child with her wife. It had been what she calls ‘a silly thought’  A human female and an alien female having a child together. Impossible. However, Lena never believed in the impossible at first it was a task she hadn’t taken serious. Simply fiddling with the project when ever she had free. The more she indulged in it the more excited she had gotten with the idea of having a child who was part her and part her wife which lead a lot of her focus to be on project ‘little star’
Lena and Kara decided they wanted this little life to have a normal life, as normal as possible. So while attempting to merge both Alien and human DNA, a proven difficult task as Kryptonian DNA is rather intricate and complex to deal with, Lena began to separate the parts of Alien DNA that produced powers and abilities. Isolating them from the mix of both woman’s DNA in order to allow their daughter to grow up without having to worry about hiding who she was from the world.
Finally after what seemed like a life time, the process of merging DNA to make an embryo worked and Lena had gotten a few viable embryos, they where implanted within her own uterus. Extremely excited that the couple would be starting a family they spared no expense and planned everything out for their little girl, they had picked out a name and with much excitement told everyone they cared about. The pregnancy come and gone with a breeze, normal pregnancy symptoms for what seemed to be a normal healthy baby developing. However one day they discovered their little girl’s heart stopped beating. Upon further research it seemed isolating the Kryptonian DNA so much almost as to playing ‘god’ caused the fetus to be weak and under develop. The human DNA attacking the Alien DNA. At seven months, the couple had lost their little star.
The loss took a heavy toll on both mothers, set them off from even trying for another. They pushed the thought out of their head and gave away what they had prepared for their daughter. The only thing that remained besides the memory of the first SuperLuthor had been what she had worn on the induced day, and her blanket.
Tumblr media
LOGAN ASTRA LUTHOR-DANVERS; Logan is the first successful child born with human and Alien DNA of two females. After about three years from the first attempt, Lena had learned that sometimes too much science is a bad thing. Finally allowing herself to return to the project, not allowing their dream to die project little star continued however was renamed ‘project s’. Lena decided to allow both DNA strands to do their own thing within an egg, not producing a clone DNA of both woman but a completely new set of DNA sequence to create a whole new person.
It hadn’t taken as long as it first had to produce a viable embryo, however it took a while for Lena to actually implant it. Hesitant at the thought of carrying another child she might loose. Gaining support and confidence from Kara had her finally decide to carry the embryo. This time excitement had dwindled to almost nonexistent. Telling no one of pregnancy, they acted as though there was no child to talk or worry about, however when it became more difficult to hide the fact they where expecting the excitement grew.
Now with just a little over two months before their daughter would be born they began preparing for the Super Luthor. Logan was picked out to keep that L tradition alive after already having a daughter whose name began with a K. It was a name Lena fell in love with upon shuffling through children names, not only because it was an Irish name but because she felt it to be different for a girl to hold the name. To honor Kara’s aunt she was given Astra as a way to remind them of the lost Kryptonian yet also to remember that wither their daughter develops those abilities or not being Kryptonian is who she is, not even playing with DNA could stop that and who better then to name her after the woman who gave her life for a cause she believed would safe her home world. When she was born she proved that to be true.
The first year and half with Logan proved to be difficult for the new parents but also quiet enjoyable. With the pregnancy a secret for so long it was kept out of the media’s eyes even after she was born the miracle half alien was kept away from the limelight as Lena doesn’t deal with social media personally and finds it much safer to keep her away from public eyes.
Tumblr media
LYONEL JACK & KALYN LILY LUTHOR-DANVERS; The twins where a scientific mistake of fusing Kara and Lena’s DNA with a male human DNA to create a male. As neither Kara or Lena carry a y chromosome to create a boy, which is what they wanted. Between the two of them, there was only one person they could trust to be the donor for their boy and that was no one other then Winslow Schott, who however remains known as donor xy in all the research and medical files. This was a major risk and test that Lena was unsure of how to accomplish as she hadn’t messed with the DNA to much on their daughter yet with their future son it had to be messed with quite a bit, specifically Winn’s DNA. The third party DNA was specifically for the y chromosome however that wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Having to leave fifteen percent of Winn’s DNA meant Lena had to put forty two point five percent of each of their own DNA into an embryo. Unsure of this was going to work and much like the both of pregnancies a few embryos where created before being implanted, this time in Kara.
When the embryos where created and implanted, Logan the first born had been four years old. This had given them time to get use to having a child and making sure they where prepared for a second. This pregnancy was different then the one with Logan, two of the embryos began developing. Unexpected twins. This caused Kara to suffer from severe morning sickness and exhaustion, this came from being unable to sustain enough radiation that came from the yellow sun for three.
Finding out that they where expecting twins, a girl and a boy when it came to naming them it has proven to be slightly difficult going through names that would go together and even ones that didn’t. They finally landed on giving their son a true Kryptonian name, Ly-El however as he is of earth they gave him a Luthor name, naming him after Lena’s father Lionel with keeping his Kryptonian name with in it. It was easy to pick enough to pick his middle name Jack, honoring the man who Lena carried for greatly. Kalyn proved to be slightly more difficult in naming, unsure how to go about her name they finally decided to pay a homage to the man of steel, Kara’s cousin Kal-El. Her middle name Lily also honor Lena’s mother Lillian, who she later learns to actually cares for her gaining a rather close relationship with her.
During Kara’s pregnancy she hardly showed simple just a little bump rather then a extended pregnant belly so it had been rather simple to go out as Supergirl, with the dangers that come with being a hero eventually she had to be benched, a time in which was called Supergirl going dark. This lasted the remaining of the pregnancy and shortly after, as it came to an end with what they remembered from their first daughter they knew it wasn’t going to be easy however they what they didn’t expect was complications or problems with the twins development. Kalyn was born deaf and Lyonel with sensitive hearing, however Lyonel’s hearing was above average for a baby but nothing abnormal to begin with.
The first year went pretty easy, despite worrying about Kalyn constantly as she is unable to hear herself or others. Lyonel was pretty attached to Kara, wanting her scent around him constantly. A little under a year Kalyn had gotten her cochlear implant the same time Lyonel has began developing Kryptonian abilities even more. Proven that Lyonel had developed more of the Kryptonian DNA nearly stealing them all from his twin, where as she has no powers. Hyperactive abilities had Lyonel’s hearing extremely sensitive, hearing everything around him. His strength coming through causing Lena to develop a red sun emulating bracelet to suppress his abilities. As much as it suppress, his ears still catch a lot more then they should causing occasional panic attacks and anxiety in such a small little boy. With Kalyn’s Cochlear implants she learns both sign language and how to speak. Signing is the first thing she begins learning however both Lena and Kara help and encourage her to work on her speech to help improve her communication skills. Kalyn has proven to have her mother’s smarts when it comes to her brains and skills.  
Tumblr media
KIERAN ADAM LUTHOR-DANVERS; The last Luthor-Danvers child, Kieran is the one of the last embryos Lena had frozen and after the whole ordeal with the twins it wasn’t one she had saw herself ever using just keeping stored away. Much like his brother and sister, he has part of donor xy’s DNA in him. After a few years having settled into a routine with the three children they already have both came to a decision that they wouldn’t mind the adventure of another baby however they waited much longer to make this baby happen.
A full eight years before deciding this had been the best time for both themselves the other children. With Logan, at fifteen training to use and understand her powers aiding in small missions with the DEO and Lyonel at ten continue to learn to control his strength and other abilities along with being able to trust him at home without his bracelet it was safe to bring a small child into the home.Seeing as Kara is quite invested in the children’s life and not needing for Supergirl to go dark again it only seemed appropriate that Lena was to carry the baby. While getting ready for this last child the couple made sure that the other children where stable and not forgotten about. It had become apparent that was important for nothing to change for them besides the addition of another sibling.
The first few months went as expected, however the more normal this pregnancy seemed to go the more worry ran through Lena’s being. She had never experienced a normal pregnancy especially considering how Logan had drained her and how Lyonel had drained Kara the fact that a pregnancy with a half alien baby was easy caused worry for both mothers. As the pregnancy slowly came to an end the couple became stumped on a name for the little boy simple opting to call him baby Danvers when referring to him. After a while it was finally decided that the boy would pay homage to Lena’s birth mother, giving him her family name Kieran. Reminding her and the boy that he is not just of Luthor blood but of Kieran, having pure heart and soul unlike the tainted line of Luthor. To fit with his first name he was given Adam to honor and remember the man who had helped Lena learn from her mistakes. Hurt from the loss of her first human trail it felt right to have her son hold a name that has changed her for the better.
Kieran is a pretty easy going baby, he was born perfectly healthy with no problems. A normal child and despite the Kryptonian DNA that runs in him he is more human. It seemed as if the couple had finally gotten a break. Having a completely calm and healthy child to grow up and live a normal life as they had once thought and dreamt of when the idea crossed their mind of starting a family. Kieran is the last piece of the house of Luthor-Danvers that they could of never have seen their life without.

10 Best Feverfew Supplements – Reviewed & Ranked for 2017
Last Updated: Monday, April 24, 2017
If you’re looking for the best feverfew supplements to buy this year, then you’ve come to the right place. 
You can also get more info by jumping to our Feverfew Supplements Guide.
Top 10 Feverfew Supplements

Feverfew Supplements Guide
Feverfew supplements are made from a plant with the scientific name Tanacetum parthenium L. The plant is a flower that belongs to the Asteraceae family, which also includes daisies, marigolds, sunflowers, and chrysanthemums. The flowers bloom between July and October each year. Although feverfew flowers resemble chamomile flowers and are sometimes confused with them, the two plants are separate species.
It’s a traditional ingredient in folk medicines used in ancient Greece, throughout Europe, and in parts of South and Central America. In the 5th century BCE, the ancient Greek physician Dioscorides prescribed feverfew for reducing fevers. The ancient Greeks called the plant “Parthenium.” Over the years, feverfew has been used as a folk remedy for a wide variety of conditions, including fevers, infertility, menstrual complaints, migraines, nausea, stomach aches, tinnitus, toothaches, and vomiting.
Today, feverfew supplements may be recommended for people with chronic migraines and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis. As a topical ointment, feverfew supplements are sometimes used for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. A number of companies that make commercial beauty products offer lotions with feverfew as an ingredient for the treatment of skin conditions. These can be found in most drug stores.
What is a Feverfew Supplement?
Feverfew is known by a large number of common (non-scientific) names, including:
Bachelor’s button
Featherfew
Featherfoil
Feather-fully
Febrifuge plant
Midsummer daisy
Vetter-voo
The ancient Greek name for feverfew, “Parthenium,” gives its name to one of the plant’s active ingredients, parthenolide. Feverfew’s active ingredients also include flavonoids and volatile oils (including camphor). The active ingredients can be found in the flowers, stem, and leaves, so all the parts of the plant other than its roots can be dried and ground to be used in supplements. The leaves are the most commonly used part.
Benefits of Feverfew Supplements
Feverfew supplements work as anti-inflammatory by preventing the body’s white blood cells from producing the hormone prostaglandin. Suppressing prostaglandin production is the same process by which aspirin in the body reduced inflammation, but scientists think feverfew works by a different mechanism that aspirin does. These supplements also prevent blood platelets from releasing serotonin. Scientists think this is how feverfew seems to have an effect on migraines and rheumatoid arthritis.
Clinical studies have shown evidence that feverfew supplements can be useful in preventing migraine headaches. Those who experience frequent migraines might decide to try using feverfew supplements to reduce the frequency of their migraine headaches.
Because feverfew is also known to affect smooth muscle, causing spasms of this type of muscle to decrease, these supplements may also have some effect on menstrual cramps. Prostaglandin is also involved in menstrual cramps, and this molecule is known to be affected by feverfew’s active ingredient. The effects of these supplements on menstrual cramps and on rheumatoid arthritis have not been as well-studied as their use for preventing migraines. Feverfew supplements are occasionally used by women who wish to stimulate their menstrual periods to start or to increase their flow.
Practitioners of herbal medicine may recommend feverfew supplements for lowering blood pressure, decreasing stomach irritation, improving digestion, stimulating appetite, or to improve kidney function. These uses have not been rigorously studied by the scientific community and feverfew’s effectiveness for these uses is unknown.
Are There any Side Effects?
In general, feverfew supplements are well-tolerated by most people, with a low incidence of major side effects. Those who do experience side effects from feverfew supplements are sometimes those who have known allergies to other plants including chamomile, ragweed, sunflower, tansy, and yarrow.
For those who do experience adverse reactions, the most common adverse reaction was increased heart rate. Other side effects can include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, heartburn, gas, and nausea.
Another commonly reported side effect is irritation of the mouth, tongue, and lips; this side effect is generally seen from chewing the leaves rather than from ingesting feverfew supplements in other forms. Some of those who had this side effect experienced swelling of the lips and tongues, and some reported the temporary loss of their sense of taste. The feverfew plant itself can cause dermatitis (skin irritation), so those who handle the fresh leaves must be careful with it.
Because feverfew herbal supplements can cause contractions of the uterus, pregnant women should not use them. Pregnant women who use feverfew supplements risk premature labor or miscarriage. These supplements should be not used by women who are breast feeding, since children two and under should not be exposed to feverfew supplements.
Possible drug interactions include:
Feverfew supplements are known to have interactions with blood thinner medications. Individuals who take warfarin, aspirin, or other blood-thinning medications should not start taking feverfew supplements without first talking to a health care provider.
Feverfew supplements can also interact with anesthesia, so those who have surgery scheduled must make sure their health care providers know they are taking feverfew. Health care providers may recommend stopping the use of feverfew for two weeks leading up to surgery.
Feverfew supplements may also interact with drugs that are broken down by the liver, such as fexofenadine and lovastatin.
NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and feverfew supplements have been known to interact with one another, each causing the other to lose its effectiveness. Feverfew supplements can be used as an alternative to NSAIDs, but should not be used in conjunction with NSAIDS.
Individuals who use feverfew supplements and then stop taking them sometimes experience a set of symptoms referred to as post-feverfew syndrome. These symptoms include headaches, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, joint pain, fatigue, and painful and/or stiff muscles.
How to Take Feverfew Supplements
Typical daily doses of feverfew supplements for adults are no more than 50-150 mg of dried leaves, 2.5 whole fresh leaves taken with a meal, or 5-20 drops of a feverfew-ethanol tincture. In general, feverfew supplement doses are designed for an adult of about 150 lbs. Children three years of age and up should have the dosage adjusted for their body weight. Feverfew supplements should not be used by anyone two years of age or younger.
Adults taking feverfew supplements to prevent migraines can take a supplement of up to 300 mg up to four times per day. Those taking the liquid supplement for inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis can take the drops twice per day.
Types of feverfew supplements include fresh leaf extracts, freeze-dried leaves, or dried/powdered leaves. These ingredients might come in tablet, capsule, or liquid form, or they could be brewed into a tea. Commercial preparations of feverfew supplements are readily available in most drug stores beside other herbal supplements.
As the feverfew flower grows in nature, it has a strong, bitter scent, and taking fresh feverfew by mouth results in an unpleasantly bitter taste. Therefore, if feverfew supplements are meant to be swallowed, they usually have some kind of sweetener added.
Individuals should always check with a health care provider before starting or stopping any supplements. Long-term use of feverfew supplements is still being studied and doctors do not yet know its effects. Those who use feverfew supplements and don’t experience any adverse reactions to them may have to continue using the supplements for several weeks before they begin to notice any effects.
What to Look for in a Good Feverfew Supplement
The active ingredient in feverfew supplements, parthenolide, will be at least .02% of a good feverfew supplement. Doses should be standardized so that each therapeutic unit contains the same amount of the active ingredient.
Evidence suggests that the ingredients of feverfew supplements may become less effective if the herbal supplement is stored at room temperature after the container is opened. Those using feverfew supplements should store them in a refrigerator.
