Hemiplegic Migraine

#Migraine #HemiplegicMigraine I realized yesterday that I haven't had a migraine with aura since August 23rd, or at least, maybe I took medication once since then, and it worked. I have a lot of unexpected feelings about this.

Anxiety: what did I do that caused a reprieve in my near-constant migraines, and how do I figure out what it is so I can keep doing it?

Awe: I am not just having one good day where I get everywhere I meant to go. I feel restored, energetic, creative, and happy. Like a few weeks without pain have scraped away layers of exhaustion and emotional numbness. I did laundry and remembered to switch it. I helped my daughter organize her drawers. I didn't lie down after dinner; I socialized and took the dog out. I feel like parts of my mind that have been absent since my last reprieve are awake.

Grief: This feels like a peek at who I might have been without migraine.
