Jagged flashing lights on peripheral side
A warning is here you must abide
–
The shocking hurt will be here soon
Unconsciousness your only boon
–
Pressure crushing like the bottom of an ocean
Dizziness and nausea with each motion
–
Never want to leave the bed
Pulsing throbs inside your head
–
Close your eyes and pray to sleep
Never felt pain could be so deep
–
Front and back right side and left
Wishing this was all bereft
–
Suck down aspirins 3 at a time
Praying the pain will end this time
–
Wake up in the morrow and it didn’t end
First to greet you is that throbbing friend
–
Off with the lights embrace the dark
Relief to your eyes from daylight’s spark
–
Reading impossible it’s hurts too much
Nothing to bridge the gap or crutch
–
A silent prayer just to yourself
That this ends, a relief and wealth

I agree, I have migraines and I also have severe pain from paroxysmal hemicrania. It’s like cluster headaches in several ways, both are trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia/TAC type headaches. Pain is real.

Indeed, migraines are quite challenging. I have experienced them for the past two years and was on medication. Now, I occasionally still suffer from them.
