I say these things too often. “My head hurts,” is the most common saying for me, followed closely by “Can you close the blinds.” Other well-used sayings are, “What’s that smell?” and “Can’t someone else drive you?”
A series of flashcards with these sayings would come in handy on the days it hurts to speak. I could plaster them to the bedroom door and stay hidden in my silent, dark, and smell-free migraine cocoon.
Know the feeling. Migraine sucks!

I like the idea of flash cards, Sara. People with severe ME/CFS who cannot speak any longer use written cards to indicate their needs and preferences. Why can’t migraineurs?
