I'm with you! Stop telling me to drink water 💦

I get migraines and it’s been years and I still don’t know he cause. At the beginning they said sleep deprivation, but no amount of sleep helped prevent. Then it was screen time, but no amount of weeks without a phone prevented them. Now they say dehydration but even when I drink at least 5 glasses a day for weeks they still don’t stop. I found a nasal spray that helps them and shortens them, but I hate having to take days off of working for a migraine. I need answers.
I hate how people say “oh it’s just a headache, get over yourself”. It they don’t know the true amount of pain and allotted time
They say “oh I have migraines too, just take an ibuprofen and go” but they don’t know the true feeling or the nausea that keeps the pills from going down.
People say “just get plenty of rest and drink water” but they don’t know how much I already try to help and prevent them.
Nobody knows he struggle and real pain of getting migraines.
I wouldn’t even wish them on my worst enemy

On Point! OMG to suffer from these horrible migraines on a daily basis 24/7 is so bad and I feel for the other people who also have chronic migraines. I can't even walk into a store without wearing a surgical mask because of the slightest bit of a person's scent of perfume or cologne spray is torture and makes it worse. Thanks for sharing your story and God bless. 🌹

Sooo true ... I started with TTH which has slowly escalated to migraines! I am so lucky tho that I don't get to much aura except for sickness and dizziness! Ocassionally bright lights in my eyes!

I’m hearing you, saddest part about migraines is that people don’t understand what’s going on, it’s like my body wants to kill my soul, I’ve questioned life so many times,

I suffer from chronic migraines. i started having them when i was 11 and i am now 17. in the beginning of 2017 i started getting botox injections in my head, neck and shoulders. it about 20 injections and you get ot done every three months. it takes up to a year for it to start working. 90% of patients who het the injections have said it worked. after about 7 months into the injections i started to feel relief. Relief i hadn't been able to feel in years. it really helped me. im just telling ypu this because i think you might really benefit from it. and dont think the injections take them away completely because they don't. you just dont get them near as often. but sadly I've ran into some health issues and they are back again but thats whole completley different story. the moral of this is is thatypu might want to talk to yoir doctor about the injections as an option. nut i think u have to see a neurologist. i dont know if u already do or not.
