Pain Pain Go Away


14+ today for sure

Today has been one of the worst migraines that I have had to endure in a very long time. I have been in so much pain that teeth have been chattering and my body has been shivering. When I get a bad migraine I spike a temperature and I break out in hives. This migraine isn't like me typical migraines. This one goes across my forehead and shoots pain to the occipital region. I hurt head to toe, even my hair hurts, which is called allodynia. It's hard to explain it unless you have actually experienced this symptom. I can hear my heart beating, and it is too loud. I can feel the blood pumping through my body and is it painful. 

Emotionally, it can be so very hard when I have such a great day followed by a miserable, painful day. I wish there were some way I could control these attacks, so I could at least plan my life. But for now, it is what it is and I just have to take it one tiny step at a time. 

I am going to bed now. I'm praying for a little relief so I can get a little bit of sleep. 

I don't always feel strong, but I have no other choice than to keep on keeping on. Things will get better



So much truth to this.
