The Price can be costly

For all the mothers out there,I hope you had a wonderful day!I did,we celebrated Saturday.Simple,at the local park in town.My daughters,grandkids,husband,s on-in-law,his mom.Picture purfect weather.
I had a blast watching the kids play and just visiting.Even joining the grandkids in a little playtime..
I absolutely loved it and am grateful for every second of every minute.It's a memory I'll cling to and hope they will remember.
That night,pain started to raise.Storms rolled.Rain.Triggers.Yesterday high winds,last night.Pain going as high as the winds.Tried to take my mind off of it.
Today,still paying the price.Still have high level of pain and yet,feeling like I have the good ol' migraine hangover with it.
We with chronic pain can seem self absorbed.But it's our Self that has been absorbed by the pain.Once in a great while,we are able to push thru and get a part of our old self out.
This may bring the guard down of others,or even lead them to believe,I knew it,nothing really wrong at all.Just get out there,get out of that depression.Our guard may drop and hope rise that,hey,maybe this is a new path.
Then Wham!We're knocked off the pathe of hope and slamed with reality of Pain.Along with that comes the familiar guilt.Some you bring on yourself.Others is spoonfed to you by those around you.
The price for the day is worth it.I'm still paying the price.Haven't gotten the final bill for that day.
Those of you who live,love,or know someone with migraine,chronic pain,give them the support they need,please leave out the side order of guilt.

Migraine Blue

I get bloodwork done every months because of a thyroid problem.They say I'm ok,but there's debates about accuracy of tests.
I've been going thru this for so long,that I do go back and try things again.What didn't work before,may work now.
I just went thru the cleansing/detoxing your body.I feel even tho it didn't get rid of migraine,I will do it every 4 months.I think it's healthy.
For me,I want to go into the hospital long enuf to be on an iv to find the combo of med to stop the pain.I've done tons of reading & been on alot of forums...I feel something's triggered the pain signal in my brain,they have to find something to stop it.
I had insurance,I no longer do,thanks to the insurance co saying my thyroid was pre-existing(after getting treatment for 1yr)So,I lost all my drs.Now,it's progressed to chronic migraine.And w/out ins,can't qualify for medicaid,here I am.
Thanks for the suggestion....
