I Want a Divorce

I've really been thinking about it and I've decided that I want a divorce...from my migraine. It's controlling and won't let me do anything that I want to do. It's humourless and they don't make me laugh. It's so unsexy. It abuses me and causes me to be in pain all the time, constantly. I wish there was a shelter for women who're abused by their brains. I'd be the first one in the door. The migraine has cut me off from all my friends and the good times. Now, even my holidays are tainted with pain. It's changed my appearance. I was looking in the mirror this morning and couldn't believe how grey my hair is. My brow was furrowed, because I've been fighting with this migraine since 1 am and am in barely controlled pain right now. It's ruined me financially, because it loves to spend money on doctors, medications, tests, treatments, gas expense, etc.

Why am I still in this relationship, you might ask? Well, simply because I don't have a choice. I wish that I could kick this disease to the curb like I did my first husband. I wish there was a way that I could have an affair with Relief, at least, but I can't cheat on it, either. It's got me on a cruelly short leash. My bedfellows are pain and drugs. They say that politics makes for strange bedfellows; but I think that chronic pain has even stranger ones. This threesome has got to stop. I really want a divorce.

I started to blog, at first, to keep track of my own progress, but now I know that there is no progress when you suffer with a chronic illness. There are only varying degrees of survival. So, now, I blog, hoping, that it will bring awareness and compassion to people about migraine sufferers and their disease; and that I will, one day, embrace this disease, my enemy, in the bhuddist sense, as a teacher. It will probably take the rest of my life to do that.

Location: California, United States

I've begun to write a book and thought it would be cool to chronicle my experiences, since this is the first time I've ever tried to write a complete novel. I won't say alot about the book on here, because of plagiarism and how that seems to be getting out of control lately. But, I'll give some hints about it along the way. Mostly I just wanted to write about the craft, about my journey and how I am going about this project. So, some days I may write about books I'm reading, the genre I'm writing about, the research (there's alot of it!) I need to do and what I'm learning from every angle in this experiment. I hope you'll enjoy reading. Please do leave a comment when you read, even if it's only to say hello. Please do not leave ads about anything unrelated to writing as I'll just delete them. Enjoy!
