Yesterday was rough. The migraine hit at 9:30 in the morning and never let up. Blurred vision all day. Dizzy. Nauseous. Holding on to walls, shelving, tables just to stay upright. It lasted my entire shift.
I’ve never talked about this publicly, but I was diagnosed with stage 3B kidney disease ten years ago, when I turned 40. I was born with a single kidney. It’s in my abdomen and not fully formed. That makes treating my Long COVID and ME/CFS a lot harder than it already is, because I can’t use NSAIDs like ibuprofen. Yesterday the pain was bad enough that I took some anyway, just to knock the edge off. It helped.
There’s a reason I’m telling you this now.
I’m not a musician. I respect musicians too much to even suggest that I am. But most of you know I’ve been writing. Back in August I wrote lyrics, and I used AI software to add music and vocals. I’ve been sitting on it, nervous about putting it out there.
Here it is. It’s called Invisible Weight.
