Discovered a good metaphor

I was explaining just now about how I often feel when I've taken my rescue med for a migraine. I said, "It's like after a filling at the dentist: there's no longer actual pain, but it's like a big numb spot that is still difficult to work around."
Things like this are often so hard to explain, I just thought I'd share in case anyone else needed a good way to do it.

  1. I like that! It's also useful because everyone's experience of migraine is unique, so other people might feel this way while others feel completely different. It would be fascinating if it wasn't so miserable. Ha. Thanks for sharing with us. 😀 -Melissa, team member
