Jewells of Thought

For over a week my younger brother has been suffering from a migraine. I know his pain cause I have been there and experienced such a pain for a week too. His, however, has gone on for well over a week now.

There have been various reasons for my migraines, but two years ago it was stress related. My nurse practitioner was so on her game I had the pills for a trial run and an appointment with a neurologist without wondering when things would happen. My brother on the other hand has had a different experience.

Thankfully my nurse was amazing letting me come to my own conclusions after giving me some ability to do so. I did come to her conclusions eventually and she was with me as I made each step and dealt with the effects of those decisions. My brother is on the same medicine I am on for migraines, but it’s apparent he will need a higher dose or something else different altogether.

So after watching this the past week saying oh I don’t get many migraines, at least I did say that instead of absolutely none at all last night happened. It was a very slow start that began with just feeling warmth from my forehead and the back of my neck. It made for a long evening.

Yet I was able to still get through a couple of stages with some of my pillows. Just not much farther with a drummer playing a wild cadence in my head. I do think my migraine pill that I take at bedtime had to have helped, but not until I fell asleep. I did wake up feeling much better though so it did help me ultimately. I still have some traces of pain in my forehead this morning though.

Later I am hoping to have these projects finished as well as another one not in the photo. My head is feeling much better as long as it stays that way, God-willing!
