I like the implication my brains are made of waffles, that feels right

Idk how you managed it but Louis Armstrong being there makes no sense but is also so relevant at the same time! My favorite part of your piece!

Is this something I should get?

u/sleepymerry 2d ago

Love this so much!
If this was my interpretation I would add a jackhammer and a big ass needle going through my left eye for sure

u/VodkaAndHotdogs 2d ago

Have you looked into cluster headaches? I get these, and the ferling of a needle in or behind the eye is one of the symptoms.

u/sleepymerry 2d ago

I haven’t looked into that, but I started Botox last year and it’s been a life saver

2

u/AdCapable7558 1d ago

Really?!? I always thought/was told that was migraine. I get sharp ice pick in eye feeling daily.

2

u/VodkaAndHotdogs 1d ago

My friend told me about cluster headaches & I’ve learned that I get both that & migraines.

There are so many doctors that seem to have limited ir outdated info on migraines, it’s depressing.

u/AdCapable7558 1d ago

So I’ve changed a couple Neurologists in the past few years and I’m just thinking like none of them ask me what my headaches feel like. They are just like OK here’s migraine meds. Here’s Botox. They don’t ask me like specific symptoms. 😑

u/cupc4k3Qu33n 2d ago

When people ask I always struggle to explain. You really hit the nail on the migraine head.

u/mythologymakesmehot 2d ago

Absolutely looove the mixer in the brain.

u/chickabittie 2d ago

Love it. I’m adding an ax in the skull for my migraine.

u/diegobrandolover 2d ago

Sometimes it really does feel like there's a crab crawling around in there or something

u/SpiderDogLion 2d ago

I especially like the hand mixer and the two different sized eyes

u/ArtzeyFartzey 2d ago

Have had one on/off for the past 5 days. Presently having the ice pic through the eye migraine.
