Today was a blur. I was again suffering from a headache that made me almost useless but thanks to my computer who keeps me company in my lonesome moments. I found this site that will at least make me feel that someone out there is listening especially when you think that you bore your family and friends with your constant rant about how you are feeling. You also don’t want to burden them with your redundant complaints of headaches especially when you make them feel as helpless as you are in sparing you from your agony. I hope tomorrow is a better day and will get me in a better mood since I have to be in a social mode because of a dinner party that my husband and I are attending. It’s getting late and I still have my headaches. Stay tuned.
Hi Veronica,
I know what you mean about feeling like you are a bore to others. When most of what you can feel is terrible pain, it does start to consume your conversations and thoughts. It is hard for an outsider to understand how bad it is, and to also remember that it is there - but they do try and they do care, and that is the most important thing.
It’s also good having a place like this where people are going through what you are going through and there is always someone who has it worse than you 
Makes you appreciate those small moments where the pain does ease up and give you a break 
I am sure you will start to feel in the party mood tomorrow and will get in the spirit
Hope there is some relief from your headaches tonight.
Ohh Veronica … I totally understand.
I can’t get diagnosed with anything but a stiff neck! hahah! Even though I am so unwell and in so much pain.
The blogs here make a fantastic spot to let everything out and get support from those who understand.
Dearest Veronica, I just read your letter and it seemed like your words were coming out of my mouth. I sincerely feel your despair. I have been in chronic headpain and nausea for nearly 14 years and I don’t believe that I am still alive because of how often I wish I wasn’t. I feel as though I am a burden to my wife and son and sister. We did not choose this crisis upon ourselves and bless you for coming forth and confessing my inner feelings. It’s like looking into a mirror and realizing I am not alone. All around us are carefree people who have no perception of the trap we are caught in. My headpain is joined with nausea and always has been. We are not making this up, please hold on. If you and I can inspire one other person or each other…it will give us our joy back. Living for sleep is better than not living at all. We all know how hard it is to pretend when we’re around others. Please keep searching for answers. Your friend/Dan
