Migraine Awareness Month #17: "Father Knows Best." Some understand Migraines, some don't.

Migraine Awareness Month #17: "Father Knows Best." Some understand Migraines, some don't. Write a letter to your father or the man closest to, and talk about your Migraines.

This letter is to my husband, who has always been supportive and understanding.

Dear David,

Thank you for sticking with me through the good days and the bad. I how that my migraines frustrate you as much as they do me. Thank you for your help--the neck rubs, eyes rubs, acupressure, calming talks, and all of the prescriptions you've called in for me without complaint (he's a physician-it's legal!) I know it hasn't always been easy to understand that migraine disease is more than just the pain itself, and I wasn't always the best at explaining it, especially in the midst of a pre- or post- migraine fog. Thank you for striving to understand my strange neurology and how it affects my moods and behavior. Not everyone would have the patience or the desire to do that. You did, and I appreciate it more than you'll ever know. I love you.

Migraine Awareness Month #5: "Do That To Me One More Time."

Migraine Awareness Month #5:   "Do That To Me One More Time." What comfort measure do you find helps you enough during a Migraine that you go back to it again and again, and how do you use it? 


Other than SLEEP, if I'm lucky enough that my husband is available to give me some intense acupressure on my neck, base of my skull, and above my eyes, it sometimes helps diminish the pain for a while, at least while he's doing it. Unfortunately, I can't seem to acupressure myself, and believe me, I've tried!
