I Got Them Old Migraine Blues Again, Mama!

Yesterday the beast sank its claws into my brain,

Oh yes yesterday the beast sank its claws into my brain,

It may be awhile ‘fore I can shake ‘im loose again.

I got them old migraine blues again, mama!

I keep trying and trying to live a healthy life,

Yeah I just keep on trying to live a healthy life,

And I’ve got to keep on fighting, against the pain and strife,

Got them old Migraine blues again!

I’m trying to earn a living, just trying to make some bread,

Yes I got to earn a living, my kids do need that bread,

But it’s hard to keep on working with that beast perched on my head.

Is there light down the tunnel, this ain’t no funhouse ride!

Want that light down the tunnel, cause this ain’t no funhouse ride –

The light sure wants to blind me, but I’m tryin’ to let that slide.

Today I’m just post-droming and the beast has slunk away

Yes I think now I’m post-droming and the beast has slunk away

I’m trying to take it easy so he don’t come back today

Got them old migraine blues again, Mama!

        If anybody wants to set this to music, let me know!  Post-drome, if you're not familiar, is the part of the migraine after the headache is past.  For me it's weak and shaky and my head's a little tender.  Lately I can't always tell if it's post-drome or just a let-up in the pain.   But it's a better way to start the day than in the midst of the head pain.

Fingers crossed that it stays away. I told my husband what your response was to my "Will it away" comment and he said, "I really like her--I like the way she thinks!" and I said, "You and me both!". Take care.

Amy - thanks! I know I make myself laugh - nice to know someone else laughs too! Got to laugh or cry, and laughing hurts less...
