A small explosion takes place in the back of my head.
First the denial kicks in "No... this is just a litle neck pain"
Then reality makes it apparent as the firery tentacles of "the evil one"
spread across the base of my skull.
I head to my purse and discreetly take out my "rescue" meds
I smile,
take a sip of water and hope no one asks
How are you today???
I'm not sure what I will answer....'Fine' thats not true....or 'Terrified' which is more like my true feelings since I have been to the ER very recently to release the'Evil one'from my brain.
When does this ever get better??????
I am doing all the right things.....I just want a break......
I am afraid, how long can I keep doing this?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, a poet. Very nice. Keep a copy of this. We have a poetry contest every year. We'll start taking entries in February.

The generally long periods of time between my Migraines are the result of working with a Migraine specialist to refine my preventive regimen. You can see my current regimen HERE.

Ah! So true!

Sometimes just taking the meds I feel better for a second, just knowing relief is on the way!

Liked your poem. Hated that you needed to write it!

When folks ask me how I am today I have started answering simply...."Well, I am here. (Or, it is another day.) How are YOU!?"

I figure they don't want to hear it I don't want to tell it and that is a fairly middle of the road answer Smiler


Be blessed-
Dawn
