When Chronic Pain Destroys You

I feel a strong desire to write this. As a migraine sufferer, I know what it feels like to have your mind be blown apart by the shock of illness. You feel inhuman. Your life becomes a blur. You are a robot. It is not something you should ignore.

What to do?

don't go it alone. 

i beg of you, don't. I know companionship is hard to come by, and some of us are single, alone, so what to do? Reach out to anyone. Someone on Facebook, Twitter. Force yourself to talk to someone about your helplessness.

if that is too much, try anything. There is no right or wrong. Try losing yourself on music every day, spending lots of time outdoors, be around animals, or little children. Fight hard not to lose yourself in the process of pain.
every spare moment you have of good health, do what makes you happy.

Take charge!

my migraines, turns out are due to my messed up gut. Years of Candida/IBS, Leaky Gut, an Ulcer, and even H. Pylori have made its way miserably into my life. It took me eons to realize the connection between gut and head. So I am fighting back. High protein diet, low starch. One tiny mess up, and the migraines come back. i am fortunate that I figured it out, but you can too!
there is a reason for your pain, once you find it, you can fix it.

you do not have to suffer forever! As I write this, I am tired. I had to take half an Immitrex earlier and as I woke up, felt like life was a blur. Years of my life have been lost due to fatigue and illness. I have tp fight back. Life is more than just being in pain. A Pastors wife told me once..There is always hope. I didn't believe it, but looking back, when I wanted to die, and begged some external force to help, things happened to bring about change.

the catch though is, sometimes we are not ready for it, and push it away. It will keep resurfacing, until we get the message.
I do not want to live life any longer on a bubble, I want healing. Once you claim that, and mean it, you can move toward recovery.

I know the body is a betrayer, I know it wants to suck the life out of you, but let it know who is boss.
