Losing my mind........

I know my migraines are a bit strange.......I have basilar migraines and every day I am faced with my brain slowly shutting down until I am unconscious. When I know that I can't fight with the migraine I have to lay down and slowly I lose the ability to talk, to keep my eyes open etc... Until I completely fade out I am trapped in this body that I can't control. There is this pinball game going on in my head - strong off the wall sensations that I can't find words to describe! I try to relax through it but I end up torturing myself - kind of like screaming in my head until the migraine completely takes over and then "magically" the migraine lets go and I discover that I can open my eyes again and 40 minutes have passed. I don't know how to stop torturing myself during these episodes...........just going to lose my mind one day.......

Would meditation techniques during that weird period help? Just in terms of getting through it without going too crazy.

I don't know what to say except you are not alone. What about some kind of meditation through the worst of it? Again, you are not alone. I don't know why these things have been visited upon us. I have no answers anymore. Are you a spiritual person? The way I see it these things began suddenly, perhaps they will end the same way. We never know the future.
