“Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experiences.” ~ Brené Brown, Daring Greatly Migraines.
I’ve had them since I was five years old. Sometimes they’re bad, sometimes they’re really bad. But I have them. When I was five, I had electrodes placed on my skull to do an EEG.
I didn’t understand the name, so I called it a “sleepy EG” since they put me to sleep to do it. Back then, I didn’t realize how chronic pain could interfere with my daily life.
I just knew that I was getting my sleepy EG. It was also during my childhood that my personality started to form, as it does with everyone.
