The Darkest Point: Migraines

And just like that, my eye begins to twitch, itch, foggy eyesight, and although, the best bet would be for me to just sit in the dark from that exact moment, I start rushing through what I think are the most important things to get done, because I know what lies ahead. My sense of taste/smell changes. I loose my appetite. I start feeling nauseous, and slowly but surely, incapable of withstanding the natural sunlight, so I’m force to darken my home. Any little noise is enhanced by a thousand, and even when someone is trying to whisper, I think about choking them in a corner. I can’t be on my phone, respond to messages, check my email etc. Whatever was in the loop is now on hold. It’s like falling off the face of the earth, and how do you explain to someone who was counting on you, that you suffer from chronic migraines, due to past trauma. The blood vessels in my eye swell up, and my eye shuts down. In the worst case I’m forced to go to the hospital and they give me half morphine, and have steroids, but the side effects mess me up pretty bad, as well. Because I have been known to suffer from depression, being alone in the dark to my thoughts for so many days drags me down & so I wanted to share, because only those who suffer from migraines will truly understand. I have tried medication, but all medication has side effects. I have also worked on a healthier lifestyle, and still that bitch creeps up on me. I finally opened my eyes completely today, starring at everything that was put on hold beyond my control. God willing I’ll make it through another day, and hopefully tomorrow I’ll come up with a better plan to recognize the trigger in time. God Bless.
