People with migraines are misunderstood,
By bosses, co-workers, doctors, and family.
We're called liars, lazy, laughed at, and told "that's just
An excuse to get out of meeting someone you don't want to see."
We're called hypochondriacs, and sometimes drama queens.
"Take an aspirin for your headache and you'll be just fine".
It doesn't work that way,
And we're sick of that line.
Regular headaches don't disable you--
So all you can do is stay in bed.
One thing is true--the problem is neurological,
And can cause terrible symptoms, and neuro means head.
They can be inherited, or a symptom of
Some other disease. There are as
Many types of auras as there are migraines.
And they're a pain in the a**.
We want to spend time with family
And friends, be able to enjoy life
Without the dread the pain will begin.
Losing jobs because of them causing financial strife.
Different forms of migraines can disable
Different parts of you. And after an attack
Is over, your mind is still foggy and your
Body slowed down. They're definitely not an act.
All we ask is understanding, respect,
And a cure. The same treatments don't
Work for everyone, and some affect the
Heart. If you have a health problem--laugh at you we won't.
