Migraine Stinks - Day 173:5 Minute Freewrite

Migraine Stinks!


"May I please have your address? Oh, I asked that already, I'm sorry?" sigh

Wading through a typical work day when hit with migraine prodome.

The affliction of brain fart is a very real, and frustrating part of the every day life of those of us who are regular sufferers of migraine.

If you have never had a migraine, you may not realize that the typical image of someone suffering in the dark room, or holding their head in their hands is not the only symptom we face. The premigraine phase, prodrome, may have no pain, but mental fog and confusion slips in causing havoc with work and social interactions like the starting sentence of this freewrite, taken right from my typical work day when a migraine comes to roost.

Brain farts continue even after the pain phase in the postdrome phase or post migraine. For me, I have what's know as asphasia, which means I get stroke like symptoms where I cannot speak the words I am thinking, or they come out completely wrong, similar to a stroke victim. Thankfully, this is a temporary thing which passes after the migraine.
I've said some pretty weird things during a migraine prodrome and postdrome.
I think I'm set for old age because I already have practice!

Yeah, migraines can really stink! Thanks for reading!
