Current Events > Migraines suuuuuck

(+) Yeah! (+)

I hate all light right now.

I hope I dont end up doing the barfs again.

I've had pressure along the bridge of my nose extending out past the sides of my eyes all day and some extra pain in the top of my forehead. Had to take the night off work because of mine.

Speaking of which, time to hydrate and maybe turn on some gentle music or something to relax to as I wait for this painkiller to kick in.

I was out driving and when people turned on their headlights my eyes just started throbbing and the pain behind my eyes and forehead.

But the worst part for me is the nausea... it comes in waves... and they get worse each time. Luckily it seems to ebbing, but I took my migraine medication as quickly as I could

I've not had nausea but I've definitely not had much hunger at all and had to force myself to eat earlier. Will have to again within the hour.

Right? I had to eat through the nausea. That was a fun time, but I seem to be holding it down.

that's one thing i don't enjoy most of all. the barfing.
only silver lining one does end up feeling better if fortunate.

hopefully migraine ends soon if it hasn't already.

Oh I dont feel better... when it happened I ended up spending like an hour until I was dry heaving. The bathroom was such a mess... I had to just get into the shower and have it on with each wave because I wasnt... it was projectile.

Okay seems it was just a sinus headache. Not all that much better but some hot water on my painful spots and breathing the steam helped.

Im so sorry you have to deal with them

I had a brief period when I was younger where I got them and its literally the worst thing imaginable

The pain is insane

idk man the best advice I can give is is puke as soon as possible, bc for me that was always the turning point

Meditation helped me through love with head issues a ton, and then when I eventually got on anti anxiety medication my headache And migraine rate dropped to almost none

migraines are the worst

I wouldnt wish migraines on my worst enemy.

also, it really pisses me off when people say they have migraines but are also watching tv and playing on their phone

one time I got a migraine at work and no one could relieve me so I got a blanket and closed myself inside of a large cabinet because it was the only dark place lmao

When your head hurts so bad you can smell sounds

When I got migraines, the slightest bit of light felt like knives in my skull

It pisses me off so much that a lot of people who just get headaches try and claim them as migraines

it really pisses me off

A good strong reliable brand cbd tincture is pretty good too

So I took some medication for a couple months and never had one again, 20yrs later

Unfortunately I dont know what the med was to help others, it was some shit that I had to let dissolve on my tongue

Sounds like BC powder to me, which is also my most recommended OTC med

yeah I honestly dont know but whatever the fuck it was it was a goddamn lifesaver

I would have done bad to myself if migraines ended up the new norm in my life. They are an absolute fucking nightmare

Healthy diet, controlled breathing exercises and meditation, and water water water

these are the building blocks to stopping anxiety induced migraines

that will also do it

i found out that despite adhd meds working for me, I more needed to be far away from those, and be on anti anxiety meds, as my anxiety is my main fueling factor for me constantly imploding

ADHD medication is the devil

A tens unit for the neck and anywhere in general is also god tier

I don't know if i've ever had a migraine, what's it like?
I always figured it was just a synonym for a bad headache

its a nightmare

I spent 9 months of last year in a dark room with cluster headaches so count yourself lucky.
I always had migraines on the regular but never like that. I have seizure medication to treat it now, I reached max dose they want me on.
My vision has permanently changed, other problems I didn't have before

I know my sensations and what leads to the migraine. I got to my meds in time and was able to hold it off before it got too bad... but

I threw up this morning for no reason... but my first major attack I got waves of nausea that got so bad I had to stay in a closed bathroom, this bathroom has no windows and I ended up just sitting in the tub in the and every few minutes Id just start vomiting profusely and projectily... like I first tried to use the toilet and I was spraying around the toilet it was so hard. So I was just in the tub in the dark naked and just using the shower head to clean up after each wave... Im not even sure how long I was in there.

Oh geeze man

I dont even know what to say at this point

avoid light

Oh also I didnt mean to imply you were faking it tc

I can tell you are absolutely going through hell

I was saying that other people def act like they are having a migraine but dont even have the slightest clue what it actually feels like

Dont forget all the people that have insomnia

yeah funny you mention that

I dealt with migraines as a teen and now I (legitimately) deal with actual insomnia, probably completely unrelated

I get a fantastic night sleep about once a week and then the rest is shitty

I get them often and have to go into total shutdown. I always have a headache and it will usually range from light headaches to wat I call mindbenders. I had a migraine for almost 6 months at one point......was damn near ready to put one in my head.....

that 6 month one was what is known as a cluster headache

a super intense never ending migraine

supposedly the worst pain a human can go throughand you beat it

Yea I wouldn't wish that kind of pain on any human.
Giving that I was pretty young back then, I was able to get thru but in my 40s now.....not sure I can do that again. Lucky enough my migraines now dont last for more than a day at most.

focus on the part where you beat it

not to get too dark, but a number of people in history killed themselves in that situation

You are strong as fuck, you hung in there and beat it

Ive read that weed actually can help with people that get migraines and clusters, have you tried that? I know it sounds ridiculous but if it works to prevent it in the future..

I slept for like 14 hours and I never do that. I usually have a hard time sleeping for more than 6, and Im lucky to get even that.

I think the migraine is gone but Im not 100% sure.
