MyMigraine; And then there was Light!

A happy prospect in the darkness of a migraine attack, tomorrow there will be Light. It will also reference to the creation of the Light on the first day! A new beginning! So is that for me, every 'day after'.

MyMigraine;Consolation

2019

Sometimes I would take my hat out of my body, to hold it in my arms, to cuddle and comfort, till pain is over.

MyMigraine; Head nails

2019

On a bridge where boys did fish metal, I find a few pieces old rust. On my way home they burn in my hand en a head is formed in my head. A migraine head! And from my migrainehead it find its way on a healthy day at the panel; Head nails!

MyMigraine; Tomorrow you will dance again.

2019

And than there is a week, a whole week, without pain! A week in autumn with falling walnuts. With the shell you make walnutink. Not only for writing, but also for dancing.

MyMigraine ; Lift up your hands

2019

This time in MyMigraine hands instead of a head. Since i was a little 9year old girl i had to struggle with migraine. Certains closed, a bucket near my bed and the whole day sleeping. And when I did nead the bucket, there always was my mom with her nice cool hands at my head. And when you ask me;"Where is God, in your migraine?" Then I must think about my mothers hands. Hands also risen at Heaven, because it hurts to see your child suffering. Hands, lifted up in prayer......Give health, Lord, give health. In her hands i see and feel, also now in badheaddays the Motherhand of God! The hands are framed with the Hebrew Hey. In the first manuscripts written as a person with lifted hands.  An ode to my mothers hands and a Hallelujah for God.   

MyMigraine; Good times, bad times.

2019

A shelf is waiting for paint. Old watches are waiting for a place in a painting. A migraine head what doesn't work all the time. One day, all things come together. Een fine head, the shelf, the watches, the paint. Good times, bad times. 

MyMigraine ; Healing

2019

under   the cross flashes a light under my migraine flashes LIGHT 'Healing comes when we choose to walk away from darkness and move towards a brighter light. (Dieter F. Uchtdorf)

MyMigraine; Embrace

2025

What if I could take my head off to embrace lovingly....

My Migraine; swallow and swallow

2020

I did use many different medicines in my migraine struggle. Last year I did use one which made me depressive. And I did choose for the migraine and did stop the pills. Now adays I have a new medicine with positive results on other users. I live in hopeful expectation and expextant hope. TRUST! 

MyMigraine; put my flowers outside

2019

Don't let yourself be wrapped up in the limitations of migraine. Within those limitations, you can still enjoy yourself.  

MyMigraine; Struggles 1

2023

Ever I did write 3 poems about MyMigraine. I wrote them in the early morning at the 7the of January 2020. It was the night, after a night, a day, a night and another day of one of the heaviest attacks ever. I was in despair and didn't know that I should have the first injections with a CGRP-blocker.   I did forget that I wrote them ever and now, September 2023, with 0 attacks since then, to the 3 parts of Struggles.

MyMigraine;Freedom

2020

It is about half a year after my last attack of migraine. I simply forget how it did feel. Always a pressure on my head. Always afraid for the coming of, the presence of ....... It is almost forgotten when I have a creative day with one of our grandsons in summer. We put rubbish in a painting. He does in a big canvas. I in a little one. Half a year ago I should not dare to make an appointment because there should be a big, big chance that I had to delete it because of migraine. But now......we could!! And thinking about it, it arises. FREEDOM! Wonderful!! And so I can close this MyMigraine which began with And then, there was LIGHT! And it also ends with LIGHT. FREE from migraine! 

MyMigraine; Keep your head

Migraine! It stays MyMgraine, my whole life long! Even without serious attacks. I keep my head! I keep my headache!
