Headache

Headache…


 


Such a headache I got,


Is it stress or just brain rot?


My water hose did spring a leak,


My life of late seems up the proverbial creek…


 


I hate having time on my hands,


Over the weekend I cannot stand,


My head is pounding, not sure the cause,


If I did know it, would it help my headache to pause…?


 


I took some pills,


Maybe to sleep I should my body spill,


Maybe I am just allowing myself to overly fret,


Better right now for me to call the guys with the net…


 


Pardon if you will, my resultant herein pain and self-torture,


Maybe my life after death will be a real scorcher,


But for now I am feeling rather put upon,


Maybe my anti-depressants I should double up on…

Your style of expression is superb, Ed.
Sorry about your condition. Sounds like a case of "the blues"-- for clearly you do not have "brain rot"! Pills can only do so much... Why not hop into that boat of yours and take a slow ride to nowhere?? Might help clear your head and lift your spirit...?
Take good care,
Carolyn

Migraines are the worse thing. The effects last for days. The worse was prior to an aneurysm..

Headaches are the pits of life - I hate them more than anything else; would rather have a broken leg. Hope yours goes away like - right now!

Doubling up on depression pills might not do the trick. I did a pill and a half during cancer but with a headache that is always a bitch. Having a cup of java just one helps but. With me it is gettin Excredin PM or one of the PM's and that is not PMS. Although Ed once I gave my husband some of the PMS formula for my husband and they worked like a charm. Go figure and before anyone gets smart I guess it does have to do with brain chemistry.

I get migrane headaches whenever the weather is humid. My headaches almost works as a weather forecast. I know the pain too well. Good write, Ed! Hope you're feeling better already.

I get headaches too and they are no fun. No medicine seems to help, though I have found that a large amount of Coca-Cola can kick them out, that is if I am not consuming caffine everyday. The flip side is that I then have a restless night of sleep from the caffine, though I don't sleep well with a migraine either. I hope you feel better soon.
Take care,
Sherry
