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

❤️ #Repost @mindfulmigraine ・・・ Anyone else feel pressure on holidays? 🙋‍♀️ I had a difficult night and realized all morning I was being extra critical of myself for not having exciting 4th plans. The truth is my spoons are low today and I need to take it slow, I just needed to tell myself that was okay! 👌 Here’s your permission slip to go at whatever speed is right for you today with zero comparison to everyone else’s insta-feed or plans.

#Repost @flexibexi8 with @get_repost ・・・ Well my brain has certainly been having a right proper rave up lately! I can’t recall the last time I was hit by migraines everyday for a week. Just when I thought it was safe to enjoy moving my head, boom it was back aura and all. I did my best with head, medication, throwing up and sleeping. I just hope it gives me a rest for a bit because it’s draining me to the point I’ve no energy to stand up. 🤪 I feel bad because my poor fiancé has been on his own more than he has seen me. ☹️ When you see this Rob, I love you and thank you for taking care of me. . . . #missingout #guilty #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicillnessnes #eds #edstype3 #ehlersdanlossyndrome #ehlersdanlossyndrometype3 #ehlersdanlos #migraineawareness #migraines #dysautonomia #dysautonomiaawareness #zebra #zebrastrong #pots #potssyndrome #posturalorthostatictachycardiasyndrome #butyoudontlooksick #me #cfs #notjustaheadache #migrainessuck

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

Everything she says is the truth. I'm going to look into the books after tomorrow's shots. . . #Repost @the_mindful_migraineur • • • • • Living life with a chronic disease is a tough pill to swallow most of the time. It completely uproots your life. The constant doctors, medications, life modifications, diet changes, pain management tools, need for help, asking for help, and pain—can feel so OVERWHELMING! . . I love this quote from Jay Wolf from @sufferstrong and @hopeheals. If you haven’t, heard about this amazing couple PLEASE go check them out—they took a miserable, depressing situation and turned it around—changing their mindset essentially on how they approach life. I finished their first book “Hope Heals” in hours, and I am patiently waiting for the arrival of their next book “Suffer Strong”. Jay’s wife, Katherine’s situation is FAR WORSE than anything I have ever endured—but If THEY can live their live SO filled with JOY and HAPPINESS despite their struggles—then so can I . . . This quote really touched my heart—within all this suffering of managing a chronic illness—has ultimately redefined WHO I am, HOW I approach life, CHANGING my mindset and outlook on life. Yes, its hard—but by clinging to HOPE it does in fact “refine us”; and transforming us from the inside out in a way that I NEVER in a million years imagined. . . No, this is not the life I dreamed of when I was a young girl—but THIS is the life that I was given and I will make the conscious CHOICE to make the best of it and CLING to the HOPE of tomorrow. . . #chronicmigraine #migraine #migraineur #neurologicaldisease #chronicillness #chronicpainwarrior #chronicpainmanagement #invisibleillness #notjustaheadache #migraineawareness #advocate #migrainestrong #lyfebulbambassador #spoonie #chronicmomma #momingwithamigraine #toddlermom #fighting #strength #positive #mindset #warrior #fighter #hopeheals #sufferstrong (at Independence, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7kSupwg-PG/?igshid=1ftuzsgozmbpv

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)

Happy 2 year #ChronicDailyMigraine anniversary to me! #painwarrior ・・・ #Repost @themindfulmigraineur ・・・ What an invisible battle we endure🧬 We push through high pain and flare up days, never ending fatigue😴and whatever else our illness can throw at us! What helps you stay motivated on high pain/ symptom days?💜 For me, it’s definitely the two doggies 🐶 who depend on their humans. Even if it’s getting out of bed 🛏 taking your medication 💊and making a meal, can be such an achievement and accomplishment🏆I’ve also been trying to find the simple joy in everyday🙌🏻no matter how hard the day may be🌸 Wishing you all a Monday filled with love, motivation and all the low pain possible🥰 • • • #chronicmigraine #themindfulmigraineur #chronicdailymigraine #chronicmigrainesufferers #migrainetriggers #migrainecure #notjustaheadache #migrainehangover #themindfulmigraineur #spoonielove #spooniefamily #chronicillnesslife #chronicillnessquotes #chronicillnesswarriors #chronicillnesscommunity #migrainematters #aimovig #migraineprevention #spoonielife #migraineproblems https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hQd2cBfyU/?igshid=1angyeu8n1sc8
