So in not great news, Iāve developed a trauma response to my migraines.
I just had a faint niggle of pain on the right side of my headālikely caused by my neck muscles being jacked up from yesterdayās migraine and the hours upon hours of throwing upāand while my original response to potentially getting a migraine was weary resignation, I just had what can only be accurately described as a panic attack.
Like full on, couldnāt breathe past my terror, vision tunneling in a way I havenāt experienced since [redacted trauma], āit feels like Iām having a heart attackā panic.
Which is notā¦ not great to begin with but itās really not good when you have a mast cell disorder where stress can be an anaphylactic trigger, which it is for me, which is why Iāve spent the last for years trying to regulate my nervous system and get a handle on my complex trauma.
Only now, due to the severe amounts of pain Iām in every ten days or fewer, Iām experiencing total emotional dysregulation from the mere thought of having another migraine.
And now I have a headache from the panic attack because it triggered my POTS and now my blood pressure is fucked š«
I legitimately cannot do this anymore. This is going to kill me.

it's wild that popular discourse around migraines is that there are too many people who claim to have migraines but "just have bad headaches". this is the exact opposite of my experience? i'm still trying to convince several of my friends that their "bad tension headaches" that are unilateral, throbbing, cause light sensitivity, nausea, etc, are migraines lmao. migraine is underdiagnosed and undertreated by every metric i can think of.
this narrative is not harmless! it prevents people from getting treatment that could really benefit them. so i would like it to die. thank you.
#migraine#chronic pain#i do think this is better in specifically migraine/disability spaces#and it's also improving with time#if you're reading this and wondering if i'm talking about you: yes probably <3 besties ily but pls get some help pain relief is possible#lou is loud#helth

smth different from my usual- i was taught this when i went to PT a couple years ago and i've never seen anything about it online. obligatory disclaimer i'm not in any way a medical professional and this wont cure your headaches, but they make mine a decent chunk more tolerable and sometimes that's all you can ask for
#brought to you by i've been off my prescription migraine meds for over a year because the last ones gave me a severe twitch#and ive been ramming my head against the walls preventing me from getting my new one#so we get what migraine relief we can lmao#migraine#headache#art#idk what to tag this as lmao#chronic pain#i guess?

How can I do anything or get anything done or think about a single want or need at all, when the alarm that rings in my ears and through my body is shouting: "I'M SO TIRED, I MUST LIE DOWN, I NEED TO LIE DOWN, I'M SO DAMN TIRED, WHAT THE F---, I NEED TO LAY DOWN NOW" and that replays over and over until I'm finally, yes, lay in bed like my damn broken body & mind wanted.

headache on and off since saturday. iām very tired. my headaches (or migraines, maybe thatās what it is at this point) donāt involve blinding pain or nausea or whatever. just sensitivity to light and sound, and moderate pain. that sometimes goes away for a bit but always comes back, unpredictably, with no reliable treatment or relief, and it makes me want to scream. god my head (and face and neck) hurts
#kit talks#alphabet soup of chronic illnesses#it is only on one side so itās probably sauntered fully into migraine by now#but i took two different kinds of migraine meds today and each gave me maybe an hour or two of relief#tired tired tired tired tired of it

the thing no one tells you about pain meds is that they help you be less aware of the pain but your body still reacts as if it were in pain, itās just in other ways. and the people saying how you should be fine if youāre not hurting anymore really donāt get it.
#despite not feeling my migraine i am without energy. my eyes burn. iām nauseus.#also my ears hurt at every sound because it keeps piercing my head#i am better than i would be without the meds but iām still not well#spoonie#chronic illness#migraine#pain relief

Migraine Symptoms, Types and Treatment
A migraine is a type of headache that can cause severe pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Some people also experience aura symptoms, such as visual disturbances, before the headache begins. Migraines are thought to be caused by changes in the brainstem and its interactions with the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for sensation in the face and head
Migraines can be triggered by a variety of factors, including stress, hormonal changes, certain foods and drinks, and changes in sleep patterns. Some people may also experience migraines as a side effect of certain medications.
It's also worth mentioning that there are two types of migraines :
1- Migraine with aura : characterized by warning signs before the headache.
2- Migraine without aura : most common type of migraine.
Treatment for migraines typically includes a combination of preventive measures and pain management. Preventive measures may include lifestyle changes, such as avoiding known triggers, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise. Medications used to prevent migraines include beta blockers, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants.
Studies have suggested that acupuncture may be an effective treatment for migraines. It's believed to work by stimulating the release of certain chemicals in the brain, such as endorphins and serotonin, which can help to reduce pain and improve overall well-being.
Some of the possible benefits of acupuncture for migraines include:
Reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines
Decreasing the duration of migraines
Improving sleep quality
Lowering stress levels
It's important to note that Acupuncture should not be used as a sole treatment for migraines. It is typically used in combination with other preventive and/or abortive treatments. Also, Acupuncture may not be suitable for everyone, and it's important to consult with a qualified practitioner to ensure safety and efficacy for your specific case.
It is also worth mentioning that research on the effectiveness of acupuncture for migraines is still ongoing, and more studies are needed to fully understand how it works and its potential benefits. However, many people with migraines have found relief from their symptoms with acupuncture and it may be worth considering if you're looking for a complementary treatment option.

The worst kind of insomnia is the kind where you are exhausted all day and manage to even get a nap. And almost fall asleep at your "normal" bedtime. ... But, for whatever reason, you DON'T fall asleep, and then suddenly it's 1:30 in the morning and you're still awake. It's like my brain is like "well, you missed your chance to fall asleep so I guess you didn't REALLY want to." Add not feeling great due to an unclear malady (possibly a multi-day migraine....possibly something else) and a 19-month-old and you have a recipe for a very shitty day tomorrow. Luckily Monotasker is WFH tomorrow so at least I'll have a chance to sleep in or take a nap despite Peanut not having daycare. And I might get to go out to lunch with a friend I haven't seen in a while (as long as I feel up to driving) so that will be great. I think my insomnia is somewhat caused by how much of my days with Peanut keep me kind of constantly "on" without being able to use my computer or anything so I end up sacrificing sleep to get that time at night. 0/10 - not a strategy I would recommend.
#this is also somewhat caused by my chronic pain flaring this week#and of course my new primary care provider is still pushing hard on tapering my pain meds#so painsomnia means I have to decide whether to mortgage pain relief now for not having pain relief later#it fucking sucks#chronic pain#spoonie life#chronic illness#insomnia#migraines#painsomnia#at least I'm way less stressed this week then i've been in awhile because monotasker and i got to go away last weekend without peanut#for the very first time#first vacation since 2019 actually#thanks to alaric greyson for being the best uncle in the world

Not the doctor treating me like I donāt know the difference between a migraine and a tension headacheā¦ Lady Iāve been getting migraines for 7 years and I have an old sumatriptan prescription on file. I think I know what a migraine feels like
Sheās like oh you should try stretching. And heat. Etc and Iām like yes I do that literally every day tyvm, esp the last five days (yes, five days, which is why Iām at an urgent care to begin with) I have had this migraine
She gave me an injection of toradol and it did nothing and I was like š¤·š¼ yeah I couldāve told you that was gonna happen
Had to haggle for my sumatriptan prescription to get refilled like she was a street vendor. Christ
#was really hoping they would just give me an imitrex injection so I could get some relief but. nope#cmon Walgreens letās be fast#migraines#chronic pain
