What to take tonight

Alas, the Migraine cafe is open
We’ve got triptans, green, white, and a spray
Or lidocaine, muscle relaxers, emetics, or some painkillers might do
It’s a menu of options I don’t want to try
but it’s time to choose, as opens the sky.

Welcome to the checkout lane of the Migraine cafe.

Formatting on Tumblr blows. So, here’s a cheatsheet. Simply go to reblog this and click on HTML. Then, copy and paste the sections you need. There are links to symbols and generators you can use as well (particularly for header text). “br /” is used for keeping text one line under what was previously written (HEADER #1) while p creates new paragraphs with a clear line between (HEADER #2). If you write too much in the pre (grey background), it will add a scrollbar. Here’s a link to all the code used because it’s gonna look weird reblogged.

Apologies…

I’ve been getting my other blog http://bopiseverywhere.tumblr.com up and running. Since this allergy to a stupid root- used in so many products, (as “fragrance”, or masking fragrance to make things not stink- like in meds…) and without a listing published ANYWHERE of all of its appearances in daily life, and it’s been playing such a huge role in my life as I try to avoid it, I thought I’d create my own photo-log of products that you just wouldn’t think something like this could force you to give up, avoid like the plague, and share it.

Why not. Knowledge= power. If you know of something that has BoP in it, or you have an allergy to it also, come find me over there. Or even if you haven’t heard of it before, please stop by, and say hi.

THIS IS WATER- But most days if you're aware enough to give yourself a choice You can choose to look differently »

Speech given by David Foster Wallace to Kenyon College’s 2005 graduating class.

There are these two young fish swimming along And they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way Who nods at them and says morning boys how’s the water? And the two young fish swim on for a bit and eventually One of them looks over at the other and goes What the hell is water? The point of the fish story is merely that the most obvious Important realities are often the ones that are hardest To see and talk about Stated as an english sentence of course is just a banal platitude But the fact is that in the day to day trenches of adult existence Banal platitudes can have a life or death importance

One day, I looked in the mirror, part deux

Last year, during HAWMC, my friend’s fiancee was diagnosed with cancer. My post for that day made no sense in the light of the prompt.

And this weekend, we drive to their wedding; I hadn’t met her hat the time, but I knew that she had to be special if he was marrying her. She is. I met her earlier at another of that clique’s wedding. Great sense of humor, and even with the end of radiation occurring at the time, you could just tell that she knew how to act (she’s an actress), but she also knew how to drop the facade when she was comfortable with someone. (sounds familiar, eh?)

I’m so happy to be going to this wedding.

One day, I looked in the mirror, and despite my raccoon eyes, smiled with joy. It’s going to be a good ride, guys. Y’all have been through the worst.

HAWMC day 30- I made it (sorta)

Prompt:Describe your HAWMC experience in one word!

“Aprillicious.”

April is the worst month for my Migraines. So, the fact that i got this many posts off is kind of a testament to my drive to get this done.

I’ve once again learned that it’s okay to take care of me. But even in my worst month, I did well.

It felt good to write when the highs of lack of pain and the depths of pain insomnia hit.

I guess the hardest post was to introduce myself- as I’m going through some dx issues right now, and I don’t know what the heck is going on in my own body- where as last time I did HAWMC, I was more sure of what was going on, and was able to provide more support.

This time, I have more on my mind.

I loved reading other people’s posts, to engage with the community. To give props to fellow activists. To disagree with the prompts, and go my own way, and know that it was okay.

So, here ends HAWMC 2013. I’m going to take a nap.
