There’s nothing better than sitting in a dark room in excruciating pain and hearing “It’s just a headache chill dude.”

I’ve had a migraine for the past couple days now along with covid 19. The migraine makes covid seem like a day at the beach. Normally I take an Aleve and it makes the pain and subside all together for however long it decides it wants to work but it’s a constant struggle. I highly recommend to try aleve it may work for you as well, it’s worth a shot.

Have had mine since I was a kid. It usually starts with some dizziness and then the aura. During the aura, whatever side *not* going to have pain tends to go fully numb, from my arm all the way up to my tongue. It feels almost stroke-like--my fingers will get tingly and then my arm will grow heavy and finally my tongue will have no sensation so I tend to hold it out of my mouth. I have issues talking and thinking. Once the aura starts to fade, then comes the pain. With medicine and a nap, I usually have symptoms for 2-3 days. Looking down or even sitting down too quickly will cause a HUGE amount of throbbing in my head. No triggers or causes the doctors know of but it DOES suck. I truly hope my fellow migraine sufferers can find some relief and just know you're not alone.

stress makes me have a migraine headache, but the problem is that my stress is unavoidable because I’m a med student 🤯

Alcohol, nicotine, lack of sleep, fast food, fall allergy season, too much computer time, obesity and high blood pressure all trigger me

Yesterday was the first day I had experience a rather painful migraine that I knew was triggered by stress in school and by my own personal problems. I felt chills and joint numbness. It even came to the point I have also experienced my first physically manifestation of a mental breakdown. It was nerve-racking and I feel scared. I don't know if I should seek out professional help or maybe this was just a one time thing.

Keep a migraine diary? I haven't had a migraine in 50 years but I can still remember all phases of the headaches, what foods I related to the headaches, where I was, how debilitating and the only ways to get relief. I don't need a diary.
