I awaken in the body I have been given. Pain seers my head. I hear the morning sounds through my window. I no longer yearn to participate. Experience has taught me my body is too broken for that. I attempt to rise but the pain holds me down. I lie in this bed. I have come to know the descending silence.

"I have come to know the descending silence."

I'm so sad for your pain, but your writing is beautiful. Is that something you can hold on to? A way to communicate when there is no way to communicate?

Thank you for sharing this.

I think I know what it might be when it comes to your husband. When I look in the mirror (literally) during a full blown migraine I expect to see pain written all over my face. But I don't. I just see me. I can't believe what is going on inside my head cannot be seen. So when your husband (and others) see you they cannot 'see' the pain. And there really are no words to describe it. If they knew the true horror of it how could they bear it. I have twice, recently, been in a vehcile. Once with my son. Once with a cab driver. Niether one knew what was going on. I was in hell.

Well written and so true...
I have been told by friends and family that I change a lot physically during migraine. My dad can understand that I migraine from the way I answer the phone.....
However, I wonder what people who don't know me think. They probably see a tired, ugly, old girl with bad dark eye circles and can't know that in good days I look much better.

Despite my body shows my pain, I am sure that it's not enough to make others understand the turmoil that I have inside and how horrible I feel when I cannot even understand clearly what they say because my mind is too confused to focus.

Oh, I too have the dark, tired eyes. I am so used to that that I forgot to mention it. I would imagine people just think I don't look after myself or something along those lines. What a situation. With some of the migraines my eyes tear and I look pretty pathetic. But I would be in hiding at those times.

I posted this along time ago but will post again. I used to work with a professor who used to limp when he had a headache. That way people could "see" the pain.

You gave me an idea. A t-shirt with big red letters on it.
