The sensation of headache pain, I’d sometimes have in muscles in my shoulders usually. But, head, neck, upper arms, flank.
Pain, yes, but not “weakness” as I’d have associated with myalgia.
Perhaps what I’ve been experiencing for so long was simply my own interpretation of the “weakness” part of myalgia.

The headache pain? For me, trivial. Very mild — yes, I had migraine headaches — but compared to the descriptions of other patients had, where headaches where so debilitating, they’d rate the headache pain as an 11 on a scale of 1-10.
For me, typically about 4 on the same 1-10 scale. Tolerable.
But the other stuff was different.
Scary even.

Just keep moving forward.
This morning, I registered for the race/run on 3 May:
I have no idea what the time will be. Could be more. Could be less. Could be spot-on. But I had to pick a time for the 12k distance.
I’ve had chronic migraines for decades.
I started to experience migraines initially when I was perhaps 12 or 13 years old.
They progressively, but slowly, worsened — becoming more frequent over the next 30 years.
They were occasionally severe — debilitating, even: vision and intestinal mostly.
In time, I started to become more aware of what, for me, would eventually be a predictable progression of its prodrome. The prodrome could last several days — leading to the eventual “migraine headache”.

Today is the first day of Winter for the Northern Hemisphere, and I’m planning running a few errands in a few months.
Actually, I’ve been planning on running them as I’m clawing my way to continued recovery. Also since earlier this year when I’d learned of Bloomsday.
And reaffirmed my resolve when I was laid off.
I have no intention of finishing first, but I will complete it and at a speed faster than a walk.
the rest of me
