Sometimes I go for months without a migraine.  But sooner or later one will come wandering home like a lost puppy.  This time I made it nearly four months.<\/p>\n<p>Then I got one on April 27.<\/p>\n<p>Then I got another on May 6.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a drawing\/painting still in the works from April 27.<\/p>\n<p>I finished a drawing\/painting from May 6.
