Taming the Migraine Monster

TAMING THE MIGRAINE MONSTER. 24 years of migraine, and hopefully it stops HERE. My earliest memories of suffering throbbing, painful headaches was when I was 11. But a diary which I used to write in for English lessons was an evidence that the series of headaches had started since I was 9. I've been wondering how I survived being so active in sports, but slept throughout my classes in school. I'm sure my teachers still remember my sleeping-not-beauty attitude (huhu!)... My only guess was that sports promotes blood flow to my head, that's why I loved it so much. At 15, I started having terrible backpains. Yet I still go for TaeKwon-Do tournaments, horseback riding, archery, netball and few other sports. I started visiting the hospital for series of x-rays and CT-scans and MRIs. I had scoliosis and started attending physio sessions weekly. But TaeKwon-Do and horseback riding was still a weekly thing for me. I started taking migraine prescriptions when I was 16

If only...

If only I could scream my heart out...  If only I could let the world know how much it hurts to keep on going like this... I only I could simply make decisions without worrying about the consequences... If only I could put myself and my own interests first... If only I could pull myself up and leave all this mess...
