Humor takes a vacation
The path to nowhere that is a lot clearer to look at than
what’s in my brain at the moment.
I’m trying to write something funny. Really I am.
Funny fills the heart.
Migraines are creativity killers. Got to find the funny again when the brain isn’t filled with so much empty pain.
What do you do when humor takes a vacation? Find out where it went, hunt it down, and kill it?
As if that’s ever going to happen. It has too many places to hide.
“If I can’t have you, no one will,” I tell humor, searching the crevices that once held in them a network of thoughts.
“If you don’t get rid of this headache, I’ll gladly die to get out of your mind,” humor says.
“I’m already out of my mind,” I remind humor. “You might s well be out of my mind, too.”
Humor replies, “That’s insane!”
“What’s the world coming to! Nothing spells right!” I scream, the echo resounding through the vacated places where brain cells once flourished. Both of us bored into oblivion under a ton of useless words, it all becomes so clear to me.
Some days the only viable option is to go back to bed.
Migraine and sinus headaches are the worst. I hope you get better very fast.

Swift recovery to you! Blessings! (P.S. have you tried acupuncture? Amazing for that kind of thing!) 🙂

If I can’t get control of it, I’ll call my acupuncture specialist. I’ve found acupuncture to work when other things can’t. I just wish it didn’t cost as much per visit as my groceries cost for a year.

You completely captured the way my brain thinks during a migraine-or doesn’t think! My migraine alert service dog can help me avoid most of mine, but they are still a huge disturbance in my life-not to mention agony! Don’t give up!

I’m beginning to think I have a migraine alert service cat. He seems to like being on my lap if I’m not feeling well. It’s either that or the treats. 🙂

Some animals can tell when a migraine is about to strike! My service dog becomes very cuddly and anxious, and repeatedly nudges me with his nose, so your cat might very well be sensing your migraines. Maybe keep a migraine journal-if you don’t already-and that way you might be able to see a pattern? You can also follow my blog. I write regularly about service animals and migraines, so it might be informative (:

Sorry, I rust realized I replied to you twice! The first time my wifi cut out, so I thought it didn’t go through! I guess I’m not a computer savvy member of the human race lol!

No worries. It occurred to me that at least 1 of my dogs (Fat White Dog) sticks close by when I’m having balance or migraine problems. In fact, she has walked down the stairs with me as I hold onto her back to help me navigate. 🙂
