As a fellow migraneur and cluster headache sufferer, many are the offerings that are brought to me. Take them as they are, an offering from one soul to another as an act of healing. Just like the slurp of my golden's tongue on my ear--Nurse Ursa. It is all they know how to offer, accept it as a gift or at least as a connection between souls. We all know pain (some of us more deeply and intimately than others) and we all avoid it like the plague. LOL Peace and good health to all.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703946441941583787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-15772201859480189082011-02-01T13:42:06.091-06:002011-02-01T13:42:06.091-06:00Welcome Laurie!

Most illness are unseen...<br /><br />Sue, that's a tough call - both suck to hear.<br /><br />Winny, I love it. I would bet we have all tried some pretty silly things outs desperation. I didn't use a sock but I've also tried wrapping my head.<br /><br />Kathleen, tuning out sounds like a good way to deal with it. I don't know why I feel the impulse to answer all the time.<br /><br />Jessica, Right?!?

I had to make it clear that I prefer talking about anything else but ME when I feel well enough to spend time with others. I still get the "my friend, cousin, uncle...fill in the blank..did such and such and now they feel great" :) They mean well, but I just tune out nowadays.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10240302768677436152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-37718510147233143882011-01-23T16:12:56.477-06:002011-01-23T16:12:56.477-06:00I just wanted to laugh when someone suggested I ti...I just wanted to laugh when someone suggested I tie an athletic sock around my head with the knot on my forehead. But you know what I tried even that!!! Plus my worst investment ever - HEAD ON - apply directly to the forehead. The neurologist laughed when I said "this is a measure of my despairation." I wasn't laughing back.WinnyNinny PooPoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237156887425609665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041000800660428069.post-2908761773088819352011-01-22T17:30:49.273-06:002011-01-22T17:30:49.273-06:00I haven't decided which is worse.
