#but then again whenever i got thise huge unmistakable auras the migraine itself was always worse

Not to pry or anything but do u take any migraine meds? I take rizotriptan and it’s a comfort just having it with me tbh

no i just rawdog life unmedicated lmfao.

so the thing is, i had a very strict schedule where i got a migraine once every 2 years on the dot give or take a few months. summer 2012. summer 2014. january 2017. fall 2019. fall 2021. i wasnt expecting one until fall 2023 then all the sudden fall 2022 i got two only a few months apart, and then i had another one back in february or march 2023. so ive had three now that were completely off schedule and so thats whats making me so nervous and on edge all the time because my whole schedule was thrown off. if they don’t adhere to a schedule, then it can happen at any time, so i can never relax. when it was only once every 2, 2.5 years then its like whatever man i knew when to expect it i knew what time of the year i had to be wary and then i could relax during off schedule times. so there’s the fact that my migraines used to be A. on a schedule and B. very far apart at that, and then ultimately C. my migraines are pretty short lasting so its like, i’ll suffer through it for the 6-8 hours. so really no i don’t think i need medication nor do i even want it. its fine. its just something i need to keep an eye on and deal with when it comes

but then with the way my migraines started going off schedule, my mom suggested i take excedrin since it helps her, but frankly the last time i got a migraine i took excedrin and it actually made it worse. like it definitely lessened the pain and it was actually the one and only time i got through a migraine without puking at all, but it was still, ultimately, a migraine and my main way of coping with them is just sleeping through it. but the caffeine in excedrin made it impossible for me to sleep and so i was just writhing in pain for fucking two hours before i finally finally fell asleep. so yeah i would actually rather not take excedrin again if it means that i can sleep through the whole ordeal even if my symptoms during my waking moments are worse. and i havent tried out any other meds really due to everything in the previous paragraph
