At the moment I’m experiencing headaches on a daily basis and have been since July 2019. I’m currently waiting for the results from an MRI scan I had before Christmas. This poem reflects in part how I experience the headaches.
the excitement fades
the adrenalin goes
my body returns to normal
and they attack again
they’ve been waiting in
hiding in the deepest
recesses of my brain
waiting for the opportunity
to come out and dull
my senses, cloud my mind,
confuse me, delude me,
wear me out, make me doubt
everything i know and understand
the headaches are back
after a morning away
on holiday somewhere
returning today to cripple
my mind and body
coming back when i
least expect them
least need them
time and time again
I’m sorry to hear this. The one thing I know is that the headaches refine your choices. I have Migraines and Cervical headaches. They are an entity on their own.

So true Janet. I have had to make so many changes because of them but I am doing my best to not let them define my life. Sorry to hear about your headaches.

The Grand Canyon is beautiful place. I keep wondering forces of nature involved. That was no gentle movement for certain. In the same way, you will call out your best self like no one else will. I love your writing. I hope you can continue.

Thank you Janet. I love the Calder Valley near me. It too is full of beauty and history and helps me to relax. I’m glad you love my writing and I will continue for as long as I can.

Dear I write and I run, do you have a daily caffeine habit? It could be the cause of your headaches. My blog is all about this subject: http://www.caffeinecausesheadaches.com!

Thanks Lisa 😀 I only drink caffeine in the morning and still have the headache. I’m hoping to reduce my caffeine intake further. Thank you for your information 😀
