Things Not to Say to a Migraineur: A Poem

By Carol Monday, February 22, 2010

It's just a headache: take a pill!

Take a nap! Are you whining, still?

I don't believe you're really sick: two aspirin will do the trick!

It's probably just stress, you'll get over it!

You just need more calcium, more water, and you need to get fit!

I don't empathize with you when you say you are sick.

I think you're using the system and that you're really slick!

It's not a disease, you just want some pity!

You just want to stay at home, sitting pretty.

It's all in your head, go see a shrink!

    Yes, it's all in my head, and it's worse than you think.
