Just in case it doesn't, I'm gearing up. As strange as it seems, I'm quite aware of how hard it is to deal with a migraine that goes on for more than 9 days. I'm not exactly capable of doing a whole lot to prepare but I am going to prioritize cooking a big dish for dinner tonight so there will be leftovers tomorrow and making sure I have all my meds, pillows, blankets and comfy clothes at the ready.
A long stretch of migraine pain always gets me feeling annoyed with my body. What about the things I need to do? What about the things I want to do? What about my sanity? I'm pretty sure my chronic migraines and fibromyalgia just don't care about me.
I hope this cycle goes away for you!!!!!!!

Hi, I have just read through loads of your blogs - I am not alone. I have had 17 day migraines and literally thought I was losing my mind, with the pain, jumbled words, inability to see properly out of one eye and fog that invades my head like a cloud. I am so so sorry that you are going through this, I understand I really do. I too put on a brave face a pretend to be 'normal'. I even went to my sisters house this past christmas only to end up, medication taken, curled up on her bed after an hour and a half. 1 1/2 hours that's ALL I could manage before the migraine struck and remained until after new year. I too have recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I have numbness into hands and feet, muscle spasms that feel like a heart attack. I so get your frustration and anger. I really try to stay positive, but it's not easy, and I don't always manage it. Thank you for the honesty with which you write your post. I too started blogging as a way of trying to be productive/have a voice/interact with people. Your honesty has helped me to look at myself more honestly - thank you. Sammie x
