... it squeezes and squeezes with migrained grip ....

... didn't catch it in time. Fastened
to the right side of my head is
an octopus, with tentacles
sucking my eyeball until it
becomes smaller than the left. It
squeezes and squeezes with migrained
grip; it will not let go. Have to
give in to the inky darkness,
hiding in a cave of curtained
comfort until it goes away ....
a scourge to be rid of -- migraines, my head in a vice -- my gut in the throws of nausea -- my eyes so sensitive to light, my ears so sensitive to sound -- when will this misery unwind from my body -- I hope you didn't suffer too long --may peace find you this day -- JMW
I know how this feels as I suffered for too many years untill the massage therapist said I can help you and he did, I have to say it has been a few years since I have had one. Rest quietly.
Karla, I only suffered from migranes when I was expecting my last child, and that was in the early months, and I remember at times wanting to cry. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I come back and you're under the weather.
So sorry to hear that.
Horrible when an option for relief is gouging one's own eye out.
Yup--I get them too.
Hope you feel better.
Well expressed--RaeLynn
Advil works. I am very happy that I do not suffer from migraines. The image of an octopus on your head is very scary to say the least, but if that is what a migraine feels like, then I am glad I don't get them. Thank you for sharing.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

And I can feel your pain. I hate migraines more than any other pain, and when I get one, I am completely useless. Hope yours goes away quickly.
