Oh this thing that grows
Torturing me daily
Leaving me in pain

I abuse myself trying to banish it
From the wrinkles of discomfort

It crushes out efforts of meditation
With thoughts of anguish
Clear mind is out of reach

The screaming reveals itself
As the symptom rather than the cause

The candle light doubles
I am left frustrated with the loss

I need comfort, relaxation
Meditation
Grounding

Then maybe the headaches will stop

Susan, when I used to get migraines, I packed my entire head and face in ice packs. I also would take a diuretic to get rid of any excess water I was carrying. I have heard of people taking a laxative to purge their body of any toxins that may be triggering the migraine.

I had to be in total darkness and quiet. Gosh, I am so darn happy that I don't get them anymore. At the first sign of one that might be coming, I get into a cold shower and then lie down with a cold, wet wash cloth across my eyes ~ and meditate and I also use bio-feedback.

Oh, and don't forget the morphine! ~ Ooops! Not usually administered for a mal de tete! Shucks!

Sorry that you are suffering ~ and you certainly conveyed that, Miss Poetess!

Loving, healing hug,
Linda

It's gone today.  

I can't tell if it's stress headaches or sinus headaches but they have been playing with me on and off for week.  

Thank you all for the comfort.

sometimes the change in temperature or seasons adds to those  headaches making them a bit worse than normal. But  we all live stressful lives today so it isn't easy to aleviate that problem.

Hoping you are feeling much better~~

The Naked One is right in that a change in the barometric pressure can bring one on as well.

I am glad to read that you are feeling better today!
