The Crazy Train

Who, what, when, where and...

To live without nuisance, would truly be an empty existence indeed. However, to struggle by defeats the purpose of existing at all. To question is human, as is to err, and my question at present is a simple one, why? Simple to ask that is, not to retort. I care not for why this is happening, only why so often. With 4 subsequent attacks since my attempted “in time” portrayal, and having to resort to preventative medication, my patience really is tiring of it all, as Siobhan’s too must surely be. She knows exactly how grateful and appreciative I am for her patience, kindness, love and support, but I feel it needed repeating. It must be nigh on torturous to watch someone you care about suffer, become a useless wreck every time they experience an attack, but she has been my Rock over recent weeks, and I cannot thank her enough for it.

I have recently been contemplating alternative methods of relief and prevention, such as acupuncture (though some reports suggest that it only has placebo effects,) acupressure and even reflexology or other chiropractic methods. Other methods I have read about include Biofeedback, a method of relaxation and almost meditation that incorporates an ideal similar to the “mind over matter” principle. Anyone who has had any experience in these, especially biofeedback, both personal or witnessed, I would love to hear from, leave a comment or send me an email, details are in the disclaimer at the top right of the page...

Let me leave you with some peoples depictions of their auras:


A good representation of kind of how an aura effects your vision, curling round one side, except it isn't static, it's twirls and twists, and produces patterns like one of these would on a bright sunny day


The expression given in this picture is exactly my sentiment every time I feel an attack coming on, fear and panic...


Aura and migraine art can be found all over the web, just use your good friend:

  • To feel gratitude is miss placed, be thank full that we have one another sure, but my support is not conditional........ and should therefore not be praised or revered. I’d be there for you, migraine or not.

    Besides, I can’t think of anything I would rather do than sit in the Health Centre with you. Just to observe such precision, logic and efficiency is truly awe inspiring. In fact I love it so much I think I shall go there every morning and sit waiting for an hour to make an appointment with a completely incompetent, alcohol addled “physician”. Oh yes that’s right…… I can’t, I haven’t registered, and to register I have to fill in 157 forms, provide a lock of my hair, make a sacrifice to the God of “summer hours” and gouge my own eye out with a biro!!!!!!!!!!

    So I think perhaps I’ll stay in bed with you cuddling instead ;)

  • Hey hon. As I am headed to see you soon (yay) I will talk more about it then but I think that alternative remedies are probably best judged on an individual basis. My friends Mum has been suffering from MS for the past 20 years, she eskewed all traditional medicines as they didn't seem to help and now has a mix of herbal medicines and accupuncture. I'm not claiming miracle cures but the disease has made very little progression since she changed over which in itself is a massive success.

    I think that at this stage you have nothing to lose by trying some alternative solutions and so much to gain.
