I know you've read some of my writings and you've emailed me some over the years.... After almost 30 years of suffering from the morbid monsters, which only got worse 6 years ago, I have found something that seems to be working for me.

My husband tells me I just need to get out of the house and also mentioned how he would trade his knee pain for my head pain. Are you serious??? Do people just NOT GET what a migraine is?   I cried until I thought I would puke.   I hit my head on the wall hoping that would help ease the pain. I had an irrational thought in the midst of the horrific pain and had to call my best... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/968560/109737/people-don http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/968560/107164/skull-demons Wed, 24 Mar 2010 06:52:09 -0400 Teresa One, two-what do I do? Three, four-bang my head on the door. Five, six-on with the ice picks Seven, eight-this is my date. Nine, ten-here we go again.

It has it's own ideas of what it wants to be.   It is often full of morbid pain. I wonder what I did to deserve "this" brain?     With no control anymore of my life. I feel as though my brain has been sacrificed.     My head is no longer part of me. I want no part of this, cant you see?     What can be done to salvage what's left? This brutal pain... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/968560/107163/head http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/968560/50996/things-migraine Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:52:41 -0500 Teresa Things You Should Never Say To a Person With a Migraine Headache                           "Smile!
