Trapped in my own head again
Trusting no words from my lips
I stare blankly

Thursday, July 24, 2008 at 10:09 AMThanks for your concern. No, I'm not on Topamax- just have occasional bouts of aphasia- usually as a prodrome sensation. It's awfully annoying, but, as I get closer and closer to finding a good preventative regimen, it's not as common. When it strikes, however, I usually find myself wanting to complain about it, as I'm a pretty verbal person... So, that's where this poem came from.

Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 10:58 AMI truly understand your frustration and my heart goes out to you. I know that others who don't suffer from migraines can't possibly know that it is part of the migraine process that makes us sound so dim witted. However it does help to explain it to family members and close friends WHEN we CAN think clearly. So now when I start mixing words up or stare fighting to get the words to come out at all instead of getting angry i just throw my hands up, shrug my shoulders and laugh, my friends understand and laugh with me. It's better to laugh than cry. And God knows we've all done enough of that.
Take care hon!
Anita

You must be on Topamax! Please get off that drug. You can't live like that! Now they are saying it causes birth defects too. What is it doing to you? Try a new preventative medicine, it's for the best!
