I haven’t written for quite a while – 6 months. I felt like no one is there no one is reading what I wanted to tell the world.
I wanted to tell all headache sufferers that there is hope, I wanted to scream and shout. I wanted others to join me on my journey to freedom from headaches.
Now, almost a year after I started I am able to stop an headache 80% of the time. It still requires harnessing my will power. Last night I woke up at 1:50 with a start of the known pain in my head. I sat up and started breathing deeply, and went through the routine of head down, head from side to side, etc. and all the time deep breathing for 45 minutes. I succeeded and went back to sleep. What a triumph – I haven’t taken the pill, the day tomorrow will be a bright happy day. and so it is.
I take pills, I realized I am not willing to lay in bed for 3-5 days in total agony. But the frequency is getting lower and lower. The last time I took a pill was 13 days ago. I take a pill only if I wake up too late and the headache is so well established all my tricks do not work, after a hour I give up. But I know I will find a way to stop those headaches as well.
I am willing to help anyone who wants to try and join me toward life free of headaches and free of pills.
