This pain-free week, I've spent some wonderful days with my family! I've played board games with the kids, gone to a hockey game, watched my children do several Easter egg hunts...I guess there's nothing much exciting about all of these things (to the "average" person). For me, though, these moments are very special! I try to make as much of these days as possible!
I know that my nerve blocks and rescue meds do not cure my migraine disease. I know the migraines will return--but I hold out hope that my newest preventive combo will make my attacks much more manageable. Right now, these things give me little glimpses into what life might be like without chronic pain. It'd be wonderful if EVERY day were pain-free...but then I wonder, would my days mean as much to me as they do now? Or would I take things for granted?
As much as I hate migraine disease, I know it has made me more aware of just how special "normal" life can be...
