The 12 Days of (a Migraine) Christmas

December 24th, 2010 - Posted by Ellen

My hubs loves to make crazy words up to common songs. That’s not usually my thing, but as I sit here dealing with yet another Migraine my meds aren’t controlling well, for some reason it sounded like as much fun as a person with a Migraine can have. Right now I could use something to chuckle silently at, even if it’s tongue-in-cheek humor. So, here goes…

The 12 Days of (a Migraine) Christmas

On the first day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – a hammer smashing the left side of my brain.

On the second day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 2 reasons to vomit.

On the third day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 3 ice water soaked pillows

On the fourth day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 4 Indomethacin

On the fifth day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 5 magnesium IV’s.

On the sixth day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 6 family members praying

On the seventh day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 7 Neurologists staring

On the eighth day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 8 friends a-helping

On the ninth day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 9 blankets covering me

On the tenth day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 10 days of missed work

On the eleventh day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 11 people I let down

On the twelfth day of Christmas my Migraine gave to me – 12 prayers for relief.

How do you use humor to get through an especially painful period? Do you use different things to get you through the holiday season with your mind and body intact?
