Our challenge prompt today is:
Describe your Headache or Migraine monster – what does it look like in your imagination or your dreams?
My Migraine monster has to be a combination of the Incredible Hulk and The Torturer. Ever since I was a little girl with Migraines, the Hulk has been my monster representation of pain. Migraines are like having a monster in your head who decides to smash everything up in your brain whenever he gets angry. When they get going, Migraines are mean, angry, and destructive. It literally feels as though something or someone is banging pieces of heavy steel against your skull while simultaneously stabbing your temples and/or eyes with hot pokers. Yeah, not very pleasant at all. The worst part of it is not knowing how long this particular rage of fury will last. Will it be a few hours, a few days, or a few weeks? There's no way of knowing when Migraines get angry.

I could never wish this onto anyone. Every time I have a Migraine where the pain is undoubtedly a 10 or higher, I am shocked by how much it hurts. It's so horrific and for me, it's also very sad. I can vividly remember being 8, 9, 10 years old in the same kind of pain and I cry for her. No child should ever have to experience any pain, especially this kind. There's no pretty way to describe the monster that I live with every day. It isn't polite nor considerate. Neither is it compassionate. I live in fear of it because it's sole purpose is to destroy. Destroy families, relationships, faith, trust, bonds, self esteem, and positivity. Oh yes, Migraines are dirty, nasty little fighters. You tell me how well you could survive with that living in your brain
