That Neuro Thing I Have: fighting two dozen symptoms of migraines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798343497045)

That Neuro Thing I have...

It won't leave me alone for a moment.

It's always in the nesting stage,

Always a foetus, needing nourishment

From its host,

The body of whom it inherits,

More like invading

Without permission, without a thought.

That neuro thing I have - it

Is here to stay for long.

It likes its place of dwelling.

It likes its way around inside me.

The limbs and the head are its

Frequent active zone

Where it plays dirty, taking its time.

It has nowhere else to go,

Nothing else to do,

Acting strange,

Making me

Feel strange.

That neuro thing I have - it

gets its way whenever it wants.

It's the master

And I the slave.

My mind and my body

Are not under my control.

They take orders from elsewhere

Which leads me to wonder

If a supernatural force is at play.

Being a non-believer,

I can only laugh the thought away

But the sensations I feel stay.

That Neuro Thing I Have is a series of essays I wrote after the book Anything But This. I wanted to share my experiences and understanding of migraines in the last few years. Anything But This gave a detailed account of what a migraineur's life is. This is an addition to it. The book starts with the essays and poems I wrote in the year 2022 and it continues for three years during which I learned a lot more about the symptoms I have.
