Stuck at home with a nasty migraine and hating every minute of it and feeling guilty about not going to work. Today I am thankful for naps and audiobooks
Hi Litsy friends—quick non-book-related post! This is my friend Amber & her wife Elizabeth—two of my closest friends & also two of the most generous & caring people I know. Amber suffers from occipital neuralgia (chronic migraines, vertigo, nausea, light sensitivity). Recently all treatment that had helped stopped working. She‘s an ideal candidate for a surgery to cure her—with a 90% success rate—but insurance won‘t cover it.

Look what I got in the mail today another Mother‘s Day gift 😋 so excited to start reading this 😊
Ahem, I‘m calling this meeting of the #LitsyMigraineClub to order. If you need me, I‘ll be in bed. Have a good day Littens, I‘ll check in later. Meeting adjourned.
Had to cancel my social plans because a migraine got a hold of me. Ugh. Thank goodness for audiobooks!
I‘ve been fighting a migraine today so the furries have kept me company. I‘m finally feeling close enough to human again to think about reading something. Not sure what yet though. #dogsoflitsy #catsoflitsy
I‘ve had a migraine all day but it finally seems to be letting up. Hence, me, here. Thinking of reading for a while.
Thanks for the tag @shawnmooney !

As I know, many of you have headache or migraine, I wanted to show you this.
I've downloaded to app on left. It's really great. It counts your hours of sleep and you can tell the app, everything about your pain. Where is focused, if you took medicine, if you have other pains etc. The one on the right seems to be an equal app in English.
Stay healthy Littens.
P.s. my head burns today...
I've been battling a headache that has made the leap to migraine. I'm going on day 5 of head pain. I've gotten very little reading done. Audiobooks don't work for me when I have a migraine because I prefer to sleep and I hate missing part of my audiobooks. Hopefully this will pass today, if not doctor tomorrow.
Ugh! No reading for me tonight. Thanks chronic migraine.
Very comprehensive and approachable book about migraines... does what says on the cover. Really good, if like me you suffer, and are trying to find out more about them. #science #book #library #popularscience #migraine #oliversacks #readingheadache
Please pardon the rant...I appear to be in an epic book slump, which I'm blaming on the last four weeks of near constant migraine. I'm trying to just read a chapter a day of Persuasion for the buddy read, and while Six Four is ok, not a lot is happening and it is very easy to put down and not pick back up. I've only finished 1 audiobook (hated it), 1 comic (not impressed), and 4 kids books this month. I want something unputdownable! 😭😭😭
Very migrainey this morning. I have to go walk in a walkathon to raise funds for the hospice my aunt died in recently. I wish I could stay in bed and listen to my audiobook instead. #litsymigraineclub 🤕
I had to leave work early because of an aura at 8 o'clock. John Sandford's book signing is tonight. I will NOT miss it, damn you migraine. You cannot take this from me, too! So...off to bed to sleep off the pain meds and rest up for tonight. #litsymigraineclub
It's like @bookriot can read my mind! 🤕 #migraine #audiobook
Another day of hideous migraine. Today I have tickets for Book of Mormons so am going to try to lean into the serious painkillers and go out into the world. Wish me luck! #litsymigraineclub #ouch
The writing says "Edmund Dawkins cures his migraine"
I've had bad migraines all week. Ugh. Chronic pain is so debilitating. ???
I am prone to migraines and sometimes it makes reading (and, ya know, life) really hard. Even the day after sucks. Hopefully I'll be back to 100% soon.
A few of us have noticed that Litsy has a lot of migraneurs (migraine sufferers) among its members. I brainstormed a few hashtags for us to use. What others have I missed? Tagging a few folks I remember having migraines recently.
p.s. May we never have to use these hashtags!

Out of state to see the #Lyme specialist + stuck in the hotel with a migraine. 🙈
What #audiobook would you listen to if you were trying to take your mind off of pain?
I have a migraine mounting this afternoon. Likely no more reading for me today. Two more clients and I can hide in the dark. Ugh.
I really tried to read this, but found it impossibly dry.
