Dangling. Like a phone left off the hook. I am an extension. A number. A page in a misnumbered book. Silent. Hushed. I am a window  on which beats the rain. Unexplainable. I am migraine. http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/76798/107121/migraine http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/76798/107120/ache-head Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:42:07 -0400 Towner Throbbing pain cannot be medicated. Sleep creeps into the tired mind. Bang! Throb!  Throbbing! The headache turns to migraine. The carousel ride begins. Why the ache of the head? No disease or wound   could duplicate the pain! The pain no one understands. Everlasting struggle without   success. The victims fight a losing    battle in the quicksand of the mind. http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/76798/107120/ache-head http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/76798/107116/migraine-fade Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:34:14 -0400 Towner I have pages to fill. Nothing to write. Ceramic bathtub filled with water to calm my aching head. The bubbles fade. Proof that nothing lasts forever. I swallow another pill. The pain my head is feeling will soon come to pass. My energy will step from within my mind. And tomorrow there will be sunshine and I will have served my time. http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/76798/107116/migraine-fade
