Test of Today - Migraine on Monday

November 3rd, 2025

Howdy.

Today’s post will be brief - for the very simple reason that my brain and my mind are not cooperating today. If you have never experienced a migraine, I think you should count your lucky stars (and thank God while you’re at it).

I’ve suffered from chronic migraines for almost a decade now. What causes them? No idea, but the doctors have alluded to the potential link between hormonal fluctuations as a potenital cause. Chronic migraine syndrome is a condition that mostly affects women, it has not been vastly studied by the medical community.

Most women’s issues aren’t studied and if I get into that now, my migraine will only worsen, so I will leave that can of abhorrent worms for another day.

So instead, I’m going to poetically describe what my migraines feel like and some of the random tricks I’ve seen women on the internet try to subdue their migraine symptoms.

Migraine on Monday

It starts as a deep itch, one that can’t be scratched,

you have a sneaking suspicion that its coming but you can’t be sure.

So you do what the books tell you,

eat something salty, drink lots of water, and rest.

Then, it emerges despite your efforts without a cure.

Going to the doctor, well, that would be another test.

Relating to Dracula and the vampiric feeling,

where light is the enemy and darkness is healing.

When aura is not seen but felt,

on your bare head, you’d rather let ice melt.

Pulling your hair or pressing your eyebrows intensely,

brings more relief than the medicine they recommend immensely.

For a migraine is not fixed by lying down,

but it sure as hell will make you frown.

The worst part of it all though,

is thinking at all,

is like your brain stubbing your big toe.

I’m hoping this will be gone tomorrow. I might have something more juicy to write about tomorrow…

So, ta-ta for now!
