Volleyball can be a tough sport for Migraineurs especially if it is indoors or even outdoors and the lights or sun are right above for us to enjoy every time we look up - which is almost every play. I've been trying to track volleyball and its effects on my Migraines. So far, the two don't seem to be getting along very well even though I wear a hat and try to take other preventative measures when I do play.
The last time I did get out was a little different; a new experience. As I was playing, sometimes the ball grew wings and had the effect of looking like it was being jet propelled to the other side of the court. OK, not quite the wings that 'normal' people would envision, but the aura kind that were on either side of the ball and trailed away as the ball kept flying.
Is it bad to say that I thought it was really cool looking? Of course it wasn't so neat afterwards, but this is where I still get kind of confused or maybe perturbed is a better word of how I feel.
Will I ever be able to play the sports I have always enjoyed doing? I know I should probably stop something's, but the stubborn side of me doesn't want to give Migraine another win.
I am tired of Migraine taking all of these bits and pieces of normalcy. I need to get away from the humdrum of Migraineur living. I need to get out, be with my friends and enjoy the little things life has to offer while getting a little bit of exercise.
What have you found that you can do where the beast will not follow you? Have you been able to keep the Migraine away during and/or after an activity that it usually shows up for? What are your secrets? Are you stubborn too, where you don't want Migraine to take another part of your life away?
