- About me
- I was a migraine free girl until perimenopause struck in my mid thirties, so along with the cliche mood swings and hot flashes, my brain decided it wanted to join in on the fun. It rewired itself into a highly oversensitive pain center, fluctuating wildly with every hormonal shift. Then my brain was so pleased with its accomplishments, it tossed in a few more migraine triggers like barometric pressure, sinus pressure and stress.
I used to write short stories before all this happened, but now with the concentration loss, I'm blogging and writing things like migraine haikus. I also like to take photographs and watch zombie movies. I'm a vegetarian and I'm a big animal rights type person.

Mother Nature!
There have been thunderstorms rolling through the area, which is driving my migraine nuts, and there is a ton of fluffy seeds from cottowood trees floating everywhere in the air, which is setting off a huge sinus attack. Nothing I'm taking drug wise is helping. I'm really starting to dislike this summer and mother nature!

Feeling Frustrated with Pain Today!
I'm home sick with bad migraine pain, so I made this comic to express my mood.

Great spotlight! I love that you maintain your sense of humor, which I know can be really more than most of us can handle on some days. I always enjoy your haikus-- short, sweet, and SO to the point!
Off to check out the cartooning spot now... how cool!
I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I thought your spotlight interview was fantastic. As a fellow migraineur it can feel lonely when you are going through so much pain and just knowing that someone else out there knows exactly what you're going through makes things a bit more tolerable.
Your comics are awesome and they crack me up. I love the one above about the side effects and migraine meds. Thanks so much for sharing your story with us.
migraine chicky, I think we have come accross each other on blogspot. This looks like a cool place for those of us with picky brains. Hope to hear from you on my page.

I hope you are feeling good today!
I'm so glad you could join us at WEGO Health! This is going to be a great place to be. I've enjoyed your blogs for some time now. I think we come from the same place: advocating for the best information and support for Migraineurs. I look forward to learning a lot from you!
