Rainy Wednesday

By Joe

Here in Vermont, we’ve had rain every day this week. I honestly don’t mind the rain, but my migraines do. Changes in air pressure causes my migraines to act up. I definitely have a problem whenever the air pressure is low, and Vermont has been in a low pressure system for past several days. 

In other words, I’ve had terrible migraines all week. It started Sunday night and was pretty awful throughout Monday. I had been out with a bad migraine the Monday before, so I felt bad about calling in two Mondays in a row. My migraine got so bad Monday night that I went to bed at 7:30 pm. Last night, I went to bed at 9 pm. At least I’m getting at least 8 hours of sleep. The sun is expected to return on Friday, so hopefully, this migraine will improve by then.

About Joe

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

  I don’t actually “like” that your migraines have been awful…but I send good thoughts. I had an attack of vertigo yesterday and had to go back to the ER. Still getting used to living post stroke.. peace Joe!

    I’m so south hear that. I only get vertigo when I’m hypoglycemic. The rain is supposed to end tonight or tomorrow, so hopefully nicer weather will mean my migraines will get better.

      It was my first experience with it…apparently it can follow a stroke…anyway…life goes on. I hope your weather changes as predicted!
