OH MY GOD MAKE IT STOP! if i have to leave class to throw up one more time...
to those of you who get serious migraines i feel your pain. to those of you who don't get them be happy that you don't.
i feel like such a wuss complaining about a migraine (now that i've learned that that's what these are) but holy shit! i thought i had a high threshold for pain but it's not even pain, it's like... puking and shaking and this awful numbness/nausea and just like, disconnection with your body. sometimes i even pass out. WTF.
well... if you are reading this and you get them too... like... every other day... and they don't go away even after you take maxalt (which is supposed to be immediate relief, fuck that shit.. plus it's expensive) well i am trying a new medication this week... it's supposed to be preventative so i have to take it every day but... check back with me in a couple weeks i'll let you know. in the meantime - chronic migraine sufferers of the world be strong! we are not wusses... these are not just headaches so give us a break! anyone who goes to work or class even though they're having a serious migraine should be awarded. just getting through a class i feel like i've accomplished something huge. (you know when you have to just take really deep breaths to get through it? ugh)
and of course i will change my diet (AGAIN) and see if i can figure out about anymore triggers. because there's like, a new one discovered every week and they're different for everyone so.. ugh. more power to all the functional migraine sufferers out there... if you need somewhere to vent and don't want to complain to your friends, comment on this blog i will commiserate with you.
uuuuuuuuuggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh |

wow! I DO have to admire you if you can even leave the house with one of these. When I get them, the slightest noise or pin prick of light sends a bolt of pain right through my head like a shard of glass stabbing me in the freakin' eye. I usually find myself in the bathtub (no water just a pillow and blanket) curled into a fetal position and praying for a swift death. It's the quietest, darkest room in the house so I always go there. I don't get them every day and my trigger is usually stress but I get them often enough. Let me know the name of the new med as I have not found one yet that works. The only thing that works for me is quiet and dark and suffering through it.
