Migraines are commonly suffered by people with Lupus and these monster headaches can last days and days on end. Add a lupus flare to the mix, and whatever medicine you were taking to treat the migraines all of a sudden become about as effective as sucking on a Now and Later to get relief for being run over by a bus!
So, during a bout with a migraine that just would not let up, I woke up one morning and there it was to greet me and I thought to myself, "Good morning migraine" and the song "Good Morning Heartache" by Billie Holiday popped into my head. With painful eyeballs, I picked up my phone and found the lyrics to the song and found that they expressed exactly what it's like to be plagued by migraines on a daily basis. Then I got the loopy idea, after the migraine finally let up and I could think clearly again, to record a video of myself singing "Good Morning Migraine" to the stylings of Billie Holiday.

I donned a wig, my mother's pearls, and as much make-up as I could apply and began recording!
I hope this video brings a smile! If we're not laughing we're crying, right?

Music some how allows us to transmute pain. I am glad you found an outlet for coping with your migraines and it is a lovely video & song.
ReplyDeleteP.S- Billie Holiday is my all time favorite female singer.
It sure does, Susan! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed my loopy video. Billie Holiday is one my favorite singers along with a lot of the greats from her day! In my opinion, that's when people could really sing!
DeleteI love that you found a little something positive to help you through the headache.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to laugh as often as I possibly can! Thanks for watching, Michael!
ReplyDeleteI really like this one too. You have a nice voice as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI have a migraine too but I'm happy that it's not cause by a Lupus. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a very serious illness that ruins your immune system. This causes headache and migraine. Proper exercise to allow proper blood circulation may help prevent migraine attack. I agree that laughter helps too.

I'm sorry you suffer migraines too, Jennifer. Thanks for watching my little video! :)
DeleteSLE or Sytemic Lupus Erythamotosus is a serious disease that needs immediate attention. It ruins the immune system causing other illnesses like headache, butterfly rash and more. I hope that you're getting better everyday. 4rx
