I've forgotten most of what I learned about Greek mythology but always liked the Sisyphus story, and it seems applicable to other aspects of life as well. I'm gratified that you looked it up.

As a fellow migraine sufferer, you took me right along with you on this one. The imagery was dead-on along with the metaphor. Thanks for sharing, helps to know others are out there & we can share our pain & grief over this afflication. Best, Jesskit69

Thanks for your comment. It saddens me that there are so many of us migraine sufferers, and I agree it's good that we can share experiences. I'm waiting for the day of real help when we will be able to stop calling ourselves 'sufferers' or 'warriors' or 'survivors' and just be people.

All the best to you,

Betsy
