This cartoon is pretty gross. But then again, what about migraines is pleasant- NOTHING! And how many times have I said during a migraine I feel like my head will explode? Every. Single. Time. I completely relate.
Oh how I can relate to this song "Migraine" by Twenty One Pilots. Not my type of music AT ALL, but the message and lyrics are right on. In the midst of a migraine I have never ever felt more alone. I try to pray when I am in the middle of such pain, but I can't keep any sensical running thought in my head except "I think I am going to die. I think my brain is going to explode in my skull. Or maybe my Skull will explode because my brain is swelling larger then my skull can hold." I have these thoughts every single time.
Now I just try and remember to at least add God to my sentences. "God please don't make my head explode. God I think I am going to die. God, please don't make my brain explode inside my skull."
Rational thought is almost impossible in the middle of a migraine. This is the best I can do.
Eye pain a lot today and yesterday. What did I tell you- I say I am feeling OK and I start to slide back down hill. It blows. I guess it was the calm before the storm. Bummer. Funny picture though! Makes me smile every time I see it because it is so, so, so true!! Anyone else relate?
