False Light Image of Dust Disk around Star 141569
Great Balls of Fire
I still contend that images taken from NASA telescopes like the Hubble closely resemble brain scans. Or at the very least, these incredible images reflect the ways in which I visualize my migraines. That black spot right in the middle is how restricted my vision feels. And the surrounding magma represents the pain. The blue corona depicts the throbbing sound waves in my ears. And that big flash in the top left corner: That’s my light sensitivity come to life.
Or maybe it’s all just space dust.
Let me leave you with Alexi Murdoch’s “Orange Sky.”
More later when pain dissipates. Peace.

I’m actually out of bed today. Going to try to get a post up. Thanks for the good thoughts. Take care, and have fun with your doctor’s visit for Aurelia.

Thank you for thinking of me. When I was looking for a picture, and I happened upon this one, I thought that it was absolutely perfect for depicting how I felt/feel.

Oh Lita,
My thoughts are with you. Rest, drink tea and try and get some sleep.
Big hugs to you.

Maureen,
Even my jaw hurts. I’m so tired of this, but I try to remember that things could be worse. I hope that you are doing okay. Please let me know about things.
Hugs,
Lita
