Two attacks today. I thought the first one was just a regular headache until it fully hit me. It lasted six minutes, I’d forgotten how much it hurt. How do you remember pain? It leaves no scars and it doesn’t photograph well. Sometimes I imagine it must be doing something to me. So acute and insistent, it must make some difference to my body. I don’t remember what I ate before the attack, but afterwards I ate two oranges and drank three glasses of water. The second attack only lasted thirty seconds, and after I had it I crawled into bed and wrote this.
I hope I can go to sleep, I hope this was a fluke, I hope I go into work tomorrow and feel fine. What was the pattern last time? How many attacks did I have? I didn’t write it down. I wish I had written it down. I should have written it down.
