migraine report

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2020.12.31

I was thinking back across the year and realized that I may have gotten through the year without a day lost to a migraine. That would probably be the first year since about 1975. I had occasion to take about sixty of my migraine pills from mid March through the end of the year, which is about 1.2 a week, but I was doing so to contain the worst of the headaches. I certainly had two near-lost days, one of which was on the day we were supposed to have our anniversary dinner. But it was a hell of a run!

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
