Sick Headache

I am interrupting the San Fransisco/Oakland weekend flow to report that I have suddenly started getting migraine headaches. I have had three since I have been here, each occurring on a Friday. It starts with a soreness in my neck and within an hour, works its way up until my whole head is in so much pain I cannot even sit up. I find this bizarre and wish I could offer up some explanation for it, but alas, I cannot not. All I could think of to describe it to David was Mrs Kravitz from Bewitched saying, "Abner, I have a sick headache." Yesterday the headache was so severe that I could not even hold down food or water, and after the second trip to the bathroom to throw up, I quit trying to take any Advil, 'cause why waste it. I just kept drinking lots of water so I would be well hydrated and not have dry heaves. Yuk. David and Betsy brought me some Excedrin which they had heard was good for migraine headaches, and I took some around ten last night, keeping my fingers crossed that I would just stay asleep and not be back in the bathroom anytime soon. I was successful. I woke up this morning feeling fine, albeit baffled by the sudden onset of this affliction and with a deep desire to end it. Right Now.

Louise Hay says that headaches are a sign of invalidating the Self, Self criticism. Fear. Migraines are a sign of dislike of being driven. Resisting the flow of life. Sexual fears. Other than the sexual fears, I can see how all of this pertains to me and will be repeating the following affirmations regularly to avoid this pain in the future:

I love and approve of myself. I see myself and what I do with eyes of love. I am safe. I relax into the flow of life and let life provide all that I need easily and comfortably. Life is for me.
