Are you Ashamed of your Migraines?

Posted by Lisa Erickson on Feb 15th 2014

I endured life... suffering with migraines for over 30 years floating adrift on medications without an anchor. I told some nice ladies today, as I struggle to get out of my comfort zone and become more vulnerable, that I had my "down on my knees" moment where I intended to G-d, Allah, Yahweh, the Earth Mother, Zeus, Powers that be, Energy Grid, the Void Whatever you want to call it, that I was tired of enduring life with migraines and I needed help. I didn't care what form it came in. Medicine wasn't cutting it. The outside of me might have looked o.k. but inside I was hopeless, yet I knew this wasn't all there was.


I would wake up and wish it was the end of the day already. I know what its like to want to throw up to break the cycle of pain just to feel better. I know what its like to take 10-15 pills a day. I would give myself brain freezes to combat pain with pain. I was having reconstructive surgery on my knee and a migraine brought me to tears not the broke knee. I didn't and don't have the luxury of closing myself off in a dark room because I have 4 BUSY children ages 4, 7, 8 & 12. So I had to push through the days... I got good at snapping at the kids and feeling guilty at that and sad because I really am a good Mom. There's so much more but I get you...and I am grateful I made this Migraine Magick™ because it has transformed my life in so many ways.

I have my energy back. My life is no longer grey! I'm HAPPY AGAIN!!! I wake up and I don't need 3 cups of coffee STAT and I am PATIENT with my children. I AM ME. Migraine Magick has given me my life back. Not only that, I developed a STRATEGY on how to handle my migraines should they decide to reappear once in a while and they do from time to time and that is o.k. now. They don't run me anymore. WHEW, this was huge for me to come out of my closet and be vulnerable and admit that I can't do it all by myself. I need my tribe. You know who you are and thank you so much.
