A HeadacheI have migraines. I started having them when I was about 16. I stopped when I was pregnant with my first child. Now at 38 and having weaned my last child, I started having them again. They started in March. At first it was just one, then another, then five a month. Now I am the proud owner of an astounding two mingraines a week. They have taken over my life.I had one yesterday. My head feels bruised from the experience. My brain seems to still ache from the trauma. I am having them so often that I don't even have sympathy for my own pain any more. How can I expect sympathy from those around me? I want to tell myself to just "Buck up and quit complaining." I want to just crumple onto the floor and cry at the thought of getting hit by another train of a migraine. I know that there is a maelstrom out there with my name on it, just waiting to catch me and pull me under - back into the pain. My new medicine helps, but it doesn't take away all of the pain. It doesn't make it quit hurting. It really just takes the pain a little further away from me. I still feel it. Its just futher away, maybe easier to deal with. I'm still trying to find out what the trigger is. I am terrified that there isn't one. I am afraid that I am just going to devovle into a constant state of pain. 11:45 PM - Saturday, June 9 - post comment
