Only a Migraineur could Understand…

April 1st, 2009

Last year for April Fool’s Day I hosted the Weirdest Migraine Triggers Ever contest. We had some doozies submitted – the winning entries are worth a read.  Weirdest Migraine Trigger Winners.  I’m not feeling very ambitious today – I am in post-drome from a major two day Migraine, so I don’t know yet if this will be a contest or what.  But it’s a question, anyway.  Please respond!  Oh, and by the way – gross-out alert (or maybe just t.m.i.) – not for the squeamish.

How would you complete the sentence: only a Migraineur could understand ___________.

Here’s my example.  I was terribly nauseous all day yesterday, and at one point I got up and scrubbed out the toilet bowl. This struck me as a truly insane act, but completely necessary nonetheless. I had pounding headpain and excruciating nausea, but the bathroom hadn’t been cleaned in a while and I thought, if I’m going to be on my knees in front of this bowl, at least it’s going to smell clean.

“Only a Migraineur could understand getting up with a pounding head and heaving stomach to scrub the toilet bowl so you can upchuck into a clean-smelling toilet.”

Come on, bring it on, what else could only a Migraineur understand?

By the way, I’m sure there are other chronically ill folks who could understand this one as well… you can fill in your illness here if you like.
