More Than a Headache

more migraine comix. i don’t have to be scared of vacuum cleaners anymore.

If someone you know gets migraines, please, try to understand that it’s not just a headache. On a brain scan, a migraine reads the exact same as an epilectic fit. It’s a neurological condition, not just head pain.

I found an awesome weather app that tells me how the weather could affect my migraines. Can you say awesome? #migraines #chronicmigraines #chronicpain #weather

I may seem like a demanding pain in the arse, but that isn’t me. That is my illness.  I interrupt a lot, but because if I do not say what is in my mind at that very moment it will be lost forever. I get frustrated and angry if we do not leave for the store (or whatever) right when I say because I know in that moment I am able to go. I might not be able to later. Likewise, when I am attempting to seduce you. It isn’t likely that I will be awake let alone in the mood once you finish your gaming quest. I only get to be myself in small windows of time each day. I have to work within the shifting timetable of my broken body. I wish you would be more accommodating to these opportunities. I know you can’t understand, but I wish you would try.
