Migraine

I have been missing. Been away from writing. Nowadays, most of the time, I am busy doing photography. Yesterday, my migraine started and till now, I am still having it. When I see the doctor, I try to refrain from using the word migraine. I learned to my surprise that some doctors do not like this word. They claimed that it is not a migraine - it is a headache. I once tried explaining to a doctor that I have been having this migraine attacks quite often to know that it is definately migraine. The doctor ridiculed my claim - that was my first and last visit to her clinic.

I guess there is no cure for migraine, you can only take pain killers to stop the pain for several hours. If you are lucky, then the pain will stop and not come back until the next episode. It is really difficult to know the cause of migraine. There could be several causes - lack of sleep, too much thinking, food etc. I suppose that is the reason why the doctors do not like it when i use the word migraine - the fact that they could not really determine the cause of it and there is no definate medication to it. Some painkillers work on some people, some don't. So when I have this attacks, I will sleep, sleep and sleep zzzzzzzzz.........
