JK Rowling got it right…
A respectful deviation on Wingsdomain Art and Photography’s – Quoth the Raven Nevermore |
Picture, if you will, a raven. Now imagine that raven on the inside of your skull. Imagine that raven has its claws firmly around your eyeballs. Your optic nerves haven’t been severed… yet… but you can actually feel the claws around the eyeball. That is what a migraine feels like. Raven claws around your eyeballs.“RAVENCLAW” The perfect description for an ocular migraine. JK Rowling must get them.
Am I right? Can I hear a “TESTIFY!!” from all the other ocular migraine sufferers? It doesn’t take the pain away, but knowing exactly how to describe it? Gives some measure of comfort. And it makes me feel like I know JK Rowling just that much better. She’s probably an asthma sufferer too – I mean, come on… HUFFLEPUFF?!? I’m not saying that I’d fist bump her or anything upon sight, but I think we’d give each other this knowing, yet pained, looked.
