Bad News Guy.... I'm Not a Mutant

I wish I was a mutant like Jean Gray / the Phoenix 

This year is my 10 year anniversary with migraines. I was hoping that it would be a special year, that I would receive something nice from migraines, but I didn't even receive a card...   The one thing that I was really hoping for was that I was becoming like Jean Gray from X-Men. I mean seriously, how sweet would that be? Controlling things with your mind... reading people's thoughts... If only that were possible.

Today my dreams were crushed! I found out some pretty news which was quite upsetting: I am not a mutant. How did I find this out? I had an MRI today, and aside from feeling really dizzy / having to wait about 5 or 10 minutes before I could drive home, the magnetic field did not increase any mental abilities. I was incredibly disappointed!  Being a mutant would somewhat validate having migraines, but nooooooo, a small thing called reality is standing in my way!

Instead of being a mutant I got to have wonderful looks from people wondering why I have a bandage wrapped around my arm. That's always fun... people wondering if you're taking crack... because apparently crack is a more logical explanation than a 23 year old having an MRI.
