Headaches and cures?


Was it a virus that caused the headache?
Or tension or stress that should me unwell make?
Was it that osteoarthritic neck?
Or a surfeit of chocolate I'd not held in check?
Or something sinister I'd rather not know?
Let's bring on some remedy-pills by the row
Pink migraleve, NSAIDS no
'Try this' said a friend it helps my pain to go
It vibrated my scalp for a total five minutes
Until I could stand it no more, reached my limits!
My thanks for the offered kind solicitude
But it jangled my brain and did me no good.
I will patiently try Amitryptiline 20
And visit my dentist to see if teeth are guilty!

    It's plain to see your noggin
    Is well and truly doggin'
    Your daily life and walk.

    We pray for understandin'
    That all the drugs you've crammed in
    Won't pop your mental cork!

    The gift of poetry I see
    Is not just limited to me

    my teeth were causing trouble
    they pained me this weekend
    paracetemol and brufen
    our stock was near its end

    Today I saw the dentist
    he tapped and drilled and 'hmmd'
    'move your left hand if you feel pain'
    i think he hoped I would

    it seems the nerves whose residence
    are underneath a filling
    are furring up like drain pipes
    and shrinking- oh how thrilling!

    The filling is now washed away in lots of little bits
    Another 'thing' is in its place- amazing how it fits.
    The nerve is fighting to survive-I did detect the cold
    It must all be re-checked when this 'thing' is two months old!

    Hows that for a baby on your lap poem. Thankfully the pain has stopped but having a numb mouth brough back memories. Hope you shift your pain soon too.

    To follow on: it's not my teeth
    But X-ray shows a tissue sheath
    Around the sinuses and so
    To ENT doc I must go.
