Migraine - Sorry I Went AWOL

I’m sorry I have been gone for so long

I haven’t really had anything to say

& then I did

But I was stuck in bed

In pain

So much pain

Visions

Auras

Zigzagging circles

Migraines

My vision partly lost

Blurred

I knew there was something there

But it was so

Disorienting


I look around

Stare at my face in the mirror

The top right & both bottom corners of my vision

Blurred out

Made me dizzy

Nauseous

I had to stop looking at stuff

Only made it worse


I went to the nurse

During lunch

Pain makes me seek refuge.

I left school early

The period after lunch

Stayed in bed for 7-ish hours

Had the strangest dreams

Got up briefly

Short dinner

Got my period

Did some hw


Read a bit abt what I had…

Almost threw up

Decided I needed to stop.


Tried to do more hw

Gave up

Couldn’t look at the screen


Went to bed at 10-ish

Slept on & off

Had some more strange dreams

Woke up at 6:30

Was my vision better?

No.


Skipped school

Slept some more

Wondered what was going on at school

Did people notice I was gone?

Did they wonder?


Woke up

Took my medication

Vision isn’t back to normal yet

Told my dad


I don’t know wth’s going on

Checked up on a couple of my classes

Texted some friends


I have to go back to school tomorrow

I have a test

& a test the next day

& I’ve wanted to see the musical w/ both casts for the past month, maybe more


Ugh

I hate the light

I love the dark

I hate this.
