Migraines and Their Remedies - Sandra De Helen - Bog

Being a migraineur, having a child who suffers even more severely, I felt every word, every phrase, EVERY poem deeply, and have a few new remedies to consider. ~Mercedes Lewis, Poet, author of Glimpses of a Fractured Soul

¿¿¿This poem collection includes a range of emotions felt while experiencing migraine headaches. Pain? Yes, and sorrow, anger, hopelessness. But the poems were written to help the poet survive the pain-to have hope for a cure, an end to the suffering. Readers may relate to the pain, because haven't we all suffered? At its core, the collection shows us we are all in this together.
