Brain Hurts

[neadods]

Have taken my last Imitrex this morning. It doesn't so much make the pain go away as make it go elsewhere. Without the Imitrex, the pain wraps around my cheekbones like a facehugger and tries to suck my brain out either my temple or my eyesocket. With the Imitrex, the pain sits on top of my head like a hat and pulls my hair for 8 hours. Then the drug wears off and the pain, like my bustline, succumbs to gravity and heads southward once more.

On the other hand, when I woke up this morning, I had a brand new sensation - not in agony. What's pathetic is that I've been hurting so long that I had to stop and *think* about what I was feeling and not feeling.

Assorted linkage of general interest: There are now sweaters and earrings (including cute Batman earrings) up on 4goodcauses.

Time Magazine has listed their "100 Best Novels 1923-present." ('23 being the year Time began.) Looking at it, I've read 10, another 2 are in my TBRs, and I haven't read the specific book listed, but I've read/have in TBR other books by three of the authors.

Surfing Amazon for a cookbook mentioned in today's Food section produced a hit for Betty Crocker's Indian Home Cooking. Imitrex or not, my brain just exploded.

On another note, I promise to watch The Colbert Report forever 'n' ever if he just promises to invite no one but TV journalists and plays "Gravitas" with them all.

For me, Imitrex moves the pain down to my neck/shoulders/collar bones, but it's a lesser, "sore muscle" kind of pain, so it's much preferable to the migraine (which at its worst is needle-in-the-eye pain).

Luckily, my migraines are not too frequent, and the Imitrex makes them a lot more bearable.

Glad you are feeling better today!

Hmmm...read 17 on the Time list.

Weird.
