Hi dear readers , below is a poem from two years ago, one that I really didn’t want to post again, but sadly, here the story is, on repeat again…………
Here I am in bed now, with a sharp raging headache(again). Iām not well, my occipital neuralgia has flared up (again) . All I can do is rest, so Iāll be lying low for a few days (or more). I’m beginning my treatment on Tuesday, physiotherapy and acupuncture, which in the end gives me some manageable relief. The whole process can take up to 4 weeks,…. Yeah… I should be ok for Christmas……. Hope you all have a good weekend
Ā
Mind Games (Again)
Thereās a sharp pain
Inside my brain
Harpooning my eye
More than Ouch, I cry
So hard to write
Blurry is my sight
All I do is peep
And I must rest and sleep
Iāve not lost the knack
And I shall be backā¦ā¦ā¦.
Hopefully soon
Before they play my tune
Ivor Steven (c)Ā Nov 2019
Get well soon sirš

Sad to hear this Ivor sending you healing to combat this. I used to get this regularly. I found when there is high negative surges these occur. The pain goes to the weakest area in the body to create the most discomfort. When you are feeling better try to look for the root cause of this and release it. Also ask God/Divine what steps you should take to heal this. Bless you Ivor and sending you much healing NOW.

I’m crying. š¦ This makes me so sad, Ivor! I’m so sorry you are in such pain! š¦
PLEASE rest! Maybe some soft gentle music, a cool room….and whatever else helps.
I rarely get head pain, but I know it must be the worst.
I get pain in other parts of my body, so I know pain and know it’s no fun. š¦
Coop and I send you gentle (((HUGS))), and thoughts and prayers for healing.
We’ll check back soon to see how you are feeling.
(((HUGS)))

They must add a sympathy button here Ivor liking a (pain) post does not seem right, you are in good hands. Sometimes writing is a distraction, mind how you go.
