I get migraines. Although I have dealt with them for years, I am still fairly embarrassed about them. Somehow the searing pain on one side of my head and super gross nausea always feels like a weakness. I hate that I'm a person who has to lay down in a quiet, dark room because her head hurts. A lot of the time I play the "I'm fine" game with myself and with others to try to avoid the inevitable, but it usually takes an attempt at relaxation, some meds and often some ice packs to start feeling better.
These cold packs are my go to weapon in the battle against throbbing pain. I usually wrap them in a cloth napkin and stick on at the base of my neck, but they often shift around too much. This week I pulled together a few of my favorite fabrics to sew up simple pouches. I've already needed them and realized what a difference it makes to be able to tuck an icepack into something made to fit them...
A migraine will never, ever be fun. Although, I guess it's a little cuter now.
