i've always had issues with headaches. recently they've taken a turn for the worse and hit migraine status. it's terribly painful and uncomfortable and has gotten to the point where i often cry myself to sleep. the only thing that causes them to subside is sleep, but, i have trouble sleeping because of them. it's a really crappy paradox.

    Wow, I feel like we're twins on this subject. I've been at migraine status for about 6 years now and they're miserable. Sleep and tears are usually all that help... unfortunately. You captured this feeling so well. I started writing a poem about the experience.

    Sorry about the migraines. I like the fact that you are using your art to express your pain.

    I have no idea of the pain you are going through but I do hope it stops or there is a cure soon - many friends suffer the same fate - your picture is authetic and it permeates the image - I would suggest if you already haven't done to to continue exploring how to represent the agony with your camera
