Have you ever thought about the mood swings that migraines bring? Migraines must of changed the lives of some of you, why not share those moments. I am a retired teacher, when I got a migraine in the classroom, my whole demeanor would change. I'd go from placid methods of teaching to all out fast pace off the wall teaching. Students thought it was great! But that heightened awareness became a full-blown, nagging, blinding migraine that sent me to the nursing station more than I care to remember. I would become unreasonable, and angry. From gentle Robert, to a TEE-REX Robert, sometimes out of control. I remember meeting the Dean in the middle of one these "spells." He asked me how things were going, and apparently, I tore a strip off of him. ( I wish I had been around to see it) I hated the man's guts, he was not a good Dean, one of the worse. Incompetent to a TEE. The long and the short of it was, I was pulled up on the carpet the following week to explain myself. I felt like I was a school boy, and twiddle my thumbs and scrape my feet while he sat in his plush leather armchair, and told me I was going to lose my position, if I did not "smarten up!" Well at that point a migraine began to come upon me. TEE REX to the rescue! My alto ego told the Dean what he could do with his job. I told him he should see a proctologist because he was an asshole! I quickly left and got on with my classes. But the migraine would not leave. So I excused myself (legal term in teaching where you assign somebody, and give a clear indication that your class has lots to do). I ended up in the nurses station again, only to bump into the Dean. We spoke together, at a different level. We became friends in a way; and I learned that day he was a diabetic, struggling with things. Being TEE REX at the time I began to realize what a change in moods a migraine can bring, an how devastating the results. Robert
