The Mirgraine

Throbbing pain
in this head,
tears fill
my eyes.

Silence the noise,
close the blinds,
pull the drapes.

Take a pill, use
a cool compress,
and hope and pray
the mirgraine goes
away.

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things,
man will not himself find peace."

Albert Schweitzer,
Nobel Peace Prize Wi

Oh, sweet pea! I'm so sorry to hear that you are experiencing migraine pain.

I also find it helpful to lie right down in a cool bath with just my nose above the water line. I breathe slow, deep, and even and think cool blue.

I keep adding some more cold water as the water warms.

I then lie in bed with ice packs surrounding my head and over my eyes. I used to suffer horribly with migraines. I am so thankful that I am no longer plagued by them. I wish the same for you, froggy friend.

Loving, healing hugs,
Linda

Well done, but Earth Angels advice is the only one I ever heard of. It might be worth a try.

I can FULLY understand this one.  I too suffer from migraines and you have depicted it well.  I have a poem about migraines as well and they are not pleasant.  Now when I get a migraine, I go to the hospital where they give me a fast drip IV and within 15 minutes the migraine is gone.  I'm no doctor but I would ask about it if your migraines are really bad.  The worst they can say is that it would not be right for you.  I hope you pains are few and far between.

Froggy~
Made me rub my forehead in sympathy~

I've only experienced a few episodes of the classic migraine ... with the first one ... I truly thought I was going to die !

After that one and consultation with an expert in classic migraine management ...
I learned that when the 'aura' that preceeds the migraine starts ...if I begin to walk at a brisk pace and continue for twenty minutes, I can usually prevent the rest of it from coming on~

I wish you relief~

Thank-you Musicmaker1969 for the suggestion. I take imitrex for the mirgraines but it doesn't always work.

The mirgraine is a headache I wouldn't wish on anyone.
