In my circle of friends I am not the lone migraine sufferer.  Finding friends who relate to me is a comfort.  We swap nightmare stories and cry on each other’s shoulders when the ‘why me’’s get us.  I relate to people who experience pain frequently, but I find more and more that I do not relate to people who have either given up in trying to find a remedy or simply are to scared to try and fix it.  I have a friend who has never tried massage because in her opinion someone touching her head might cause a migraine.  I am left to wonder if after twenty years of severe headaches if the cure for her might be massage?  Pain makes us afraid but if we are frozen with fear to such a  point that we can not even help ourselves than we have sealed our fate, accepted our life sentence.  Well, not me, I will keep on fighting.  I will fight migraines and a rainbowy array of other ailments I posses but even more important I will keep fighting fear.  I refuse to be afraid of finding my cure! There is a cure out there we just can not stop looking.
