Good morning! Finally feeling better- the pain broke late last night, so I was able to sleep soundly. Living with migraines is really challenging; there are good days and bad days, and the bad days often leave you wondering if you’ll ever be healthy or strong enough to live the life you want to lead. I’m so lucky to have a partner as nurturing as @ironiclyawesomename who not only made sure that the kids and I were fed yesterday, but who cooked enough food to keep the house running for the next few days as Zi battle #postdrone sickness. Since there’s only so much time my mind can handle being laid up in bed, I retreated to the basement yesterday evening to paint this for @thebhpl art mini art exhibit program. Painting helped me to relax and gave me a focus point other than my pain. #urbanegypsy #urbanegypsyarts #gauchepainting #guache #tinypainting #tinypaintings #migrainelife #support #health #itsnotaheadache #notjustaheadache #mentalhealth #gratitude #mindfulnessmeditation #mindfulness https://www.instagram.com/p/Cahcd7rrI23/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ocular Migraine • One minute your fine then your vision starts to get blurry. I thought I had something in my eye. I kept blinking looking around trying to figure out what was happening. “Is it bright in here? I’m seeing spots” (I was at work) •In 5-6 min more my vision was completely blurry and I saw almost like blurry rainbows. Then I lost my vision completely...but wait that’s not it... •I regained some of my vision slowing like refocusing a lens then my 3 fingers in my left hand went to sleep with that prickly starry feeling then...complete numbness. No feeling. What is happening to me? Still no headache why are they telling me it’s an Ocular Migraine? Well the headache sometimes hits right after all these other symptoms subside. Which is exactly what happened to me. •Scary probably doesn’t even cover half of what I was feeling as my body was going haywire. Having no control over what’s happening to me is not my cup of tea. Literally an hour long WTF moment. CT came back normal of course. My nerves in my eyes are good as well. Next up Nuero appt Do you have these types of migraines? What helps you? What causes them for you? How scary was it when you had your first one? • • Art by Svenja Jödicke • • #letstalkaboutit #ocularmigraine #migraine #eyeart #migrainessuck #migrainerelief #notjustaheadache #blurryvision https://www.instagram.com/p/CCL1KMXlrvj/?igshid=k8z9clstyhnz

Super special Saturday snuggles 💕 My girl and I spent most of the day in bed because she got hit with one of the worst migraines she's had in a while. 🤕 She spent the entire day trying to sleep off the pain. 💤 But don't worry, this energetic pup still got to have some fun! Thanks to my girl's incredible support group, I got to stretch my legs and sniff around outside without my girl even needing to get up. 🐶 The help with exercising me is appreciated because getting up can be impossible when my girl has a migraine. 🛌 Moving around, even just rolling over in bed, can be overwhelmingly painful for my girl, to the extent that she sometimes even has to bite on something just to deal with the pain. 😵 This is just one of the many ways that migraines are a disorder and not "just a headache." 🙇‍♀️ On days like today, studying (even for an upcoming immunology midterm) takes a backseat. 📚 But health comes first! 💜 .

Most doctors simply test for TSH when they run a blood test. That's nice. It's the equivalent to saying: "Hmm, there's a red car over there". You know nothing else other than there is enough thyroid available for uptake, but the doctor STILL doesn't know if that hormone IS being absorbed or not. Always get ALL the information first. #thyroiddisease #thyroidproblems #hashimotos #graves #migraine #migraines #yourmigrainedoctor #migrainesufferer #chronicillness #chronic #glutenfree #glutenfreevegan #notjustsymptoms #notjustaheadache #norwalkct #norwalk #connecticut (at Dr. Brenda Slovin - Your Migraine Doctor)

#shadesformigraine #worldmigrainesolidarityday Aside from being completely debilitating, migraine can cause severe isolation and loneliness. When people don't understand that it's #notjustaheadache it becomes increasingly hard to maintain friendships and partake in social activities. It's impossible to describe the pain well enough for people to truly understand, and as such, it can be frustrating for them. Understandably. They don't always get it, and as much as we may try we can't avoid it. Both sides are stuck between a rock and a hard place. As migraineurs, this horrific pain is part of our lives and we need to do whatever we can in order to learn how we can manage around it. Showing #solidarity to those who suffer with migraines, gives back the feeling of hope that we might sometimes struggle to hold on to; you know, when you feel like you're actually dying with the pain. Knowing that there are fantastic people out there who, despite not always understanding the pain, are willing to show support, really means the world. So to everyone who has sported their #shadesformigraine today, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're all awesome. Every step towards raising awareness about this disease is a step towards victory and deeper understanding. . . . #migraineawareness #lookingforward #fightthedemons #win #thankyou #invisibleillness #migraine #keeptheconversationgoing (at Dublin, Ireland)

Did you know that I have regular migraines? (AD) ⠀ I talk about them in stories occasionally, but not that much. ⠀ Mostly because I have them more often than I share, and also because when I DO share, I tend to get bombarded with advice as that is ...unhelpful as soon as I do. ⠀ People are quick to let you know what they or their mother or best friend does for their migraines or either they completely don’t understand and just label it as a bad headache that is somehow your fault. ⠀ SIDE EYE ⠀ A migraine is a neurologic disease, so there is no one size fits all for treatment. ⠀ BUT there are ways to manage them. ⠀ ⠀ That’s why I am so happy to be working with @Mediqcme to help generate awareness around migraine prevention and treatment. ⠀ Over on the blog today, I’m talking about 5 effective LIFESTYLE changes you can make to help prevent migraines. ⠀ If this is something you want to know more about, head to the link in my profile to learn an easy acronym that will help. ⠀ #LINKINPROFILE #migraineawareness #migraines #notjustaheadache https://instagr.am/p/CUr7FbvLzu4/
