Well, it's morning
My migraine woke me out of a sound sleep and settled in my brain
When this intruder makes its unwelcome visit
Of course it loves to come with its usual nausea and pain
What pretty pills I take
They come in all colors but their side effects are scary
My pain is unbearable
And my life is not like the show "Little House on the Prairie"
My trips to the emergency room are quite an adventure
I look disheveled and my clothes don't match
Of course I'm nauseated, and my husband brings my basin along with my towel
He sometimes has to catch
My doctor gives my migraines a lot of attention
He is doing his best to rid me of nightmares the best way
But these darn intruders are stubborn and insist on coming every day
Stop and listen you intruder
Sooner or later
My botox injections will blow you away!!


i read your poem and can relate. I get terrible migraines that awaken me in the middle of the night, I am so sick of the pain and nausea. I used to get them only during the daytime but somehow something has changed and now i'm be awakened with them also. It seems to have a never ending cyle of pain. I wonder if it's my meds, and I'm trying to get into see my doc as I write this to find if a change is in order, I think i've been on the same ones for far too long. Have you had that problem?
I tried botoax many years ago and it worked for about 6 months but haven't tried it again. I was a lucky one who got it for free but now the cost is somewhat out of my budget. What else have you tried to help prevent the enving "wake up" calls? Good luck and my prayers are with you,
