The Anatomy of a Migraine and my Contact Info


You know how it all goes down. The pain that makes your eyes feel like they're getting wrenched out and squeezed at the same time. Actually, most of you probably don't. The sad fact is that most people don't know exactly what happens during a migraine. Well my friends, I'm here to tell you exactly how a migraine goes down. There are a couple of different kinds of migraines actually: some people actually get them upwards of 15-20 times a month! That thought of that much pain makes me want to vomit incessantly. Most migraines start out with these weird little visual accouterments, if you will. They're kind of like little kaleidoscopic elements that randomly appear in your visual field. They start out small and gradually widen out to take up your whole visual field. Then the horrible pain sets in. It'll last for a few hours; slowly draining the life out of you. Then it'll slowly grant you a reprieve and you can remember where your will to live went. Not a fun process, but I can say, once you've been through a migraine, what else could possibly trigger such happiness once it's done?

So surgery tomorrow, huh? That's a bit on the intimidating side. You guys all need to get on board with my physical and email addresses here in Baltimore. The physical address goes as such:

David Sommer
Best Western, Rm. 717
5925 O'Donnell St.
Baltimore, MD 21224

My email address is onceagainandagain@gmail.com. Hey! No funny stuff either. Ok well maybe just a little bit. Funny stuff makes me laugh, and laughter's good, right?
