Tell us about a time your plans changed due to either an unexpected Migraine or an unexpected Migraine-free experience.
There have been many, many times where my plans changed due to an unexpected Migraine. The last time this happened was back in May. I had planned a bake sale to raise money for my daughter's trip to Europe. I reserved a block of time at my local supermarket to sell homemade cakes and raffle tickets. They day before the sale I was beginning to get a Migraine. I was very stressed about being able to raise enough money for her to take with her during her travels. I was not looking forward to baking and the Migraine was making me depressed.
I decided to drop the bake sale and just sell the raffle tickets. Even though that would be easier I felt like I was letting her down. I had to reming myself that I can't push my limits. Saturday came and my head was killing me I hate not being able to complete something due to a Migraine. Especially when it involves my kids. I feel extreme guilt when I can't follow through. Plus, I was relying on this fundraiser to provide my daughter with travel money. In all honesty, I really didn't want to do it because it was really my daughther's responsibility to raise the money for her trip but she never really stepped up to do it. So I had the weight of it all on my shoulders. Because I canceled the fundraiser I was very worried about getting the money raised. If I didn't have that Migraine I would have been able to at least sell the raffle tickets. Luckily, everything worked out at the end. I wish that I could feel less guilty and less of a let down. That part is harder to deal with than the Migraine.
