the worst part is that no one except the people who have experienced them understand

[ItsLxyla-pewpew]

Worst is when the nausea doesn't leave after the pain is gone 😷

[Carrorolen]

The worst thing is having to work for people who has never had a migraine. They simply don't understand when you have to call in sick, because it's " just a headache". -.-

Depression isn’t “sadness, ” anxiety isn’t “fear, ” and a migraine isn’t just a “headache.” And I get all three.

I don't get migraine. I'm just here to understand because I know so many people with migraine and I just wanna be helpful.

i went to the nurse one day at school because of a migraine (mind you i went because i couldnt focus or anything). While i was saying i had a migraine, she told me to lie down and tried to tell me i didnt get migraines. I literally looked at her and said "I went to a pediatric neurologist when I was 9, i was diagnosed with migraines (its been 5 years). Do not tell me im wrong". She said the doctors were wrong. I dont think ive ever been more disappointed in a nurse in a long time. smh

I've been dealing with severe chronic migraines since 7th grade(approx. 6-7 years). It was really hard in school because nobody took my pain seriously. I remembered being out of class for 5 straight days because the pain was so severe and nothing helped. It didn't help that my counselor (ya know the person who is "supposed" to be there to help you) told me that I needed to suck it up because in the real world nobody would care. It wasn't until my mom brought in the 3rd letter from my neurologist they finally took me seriously. (The school said they didn't have a note on file but my mom took in the notes herself. My counselor just didn't like me). I've had to see a neurologist and a headache specialist since the beginning because of how bad they are.
Thank you for creating this video and spreading more knowledge about the subject, it really means a lot

Someone says Migraines are not as bad as headaches me: Bull shit you try not to cry while it feels like your eyes and going to pop and you can't move or get help at all I've been taking medicine now 2 types and I've had migraines for 7 years and 3 migraines every week

[FeiNixx]

I used to deal with migraines daily, and it was horrible. I'd cry due to how horrific they were and had to be prescribed with medication that eventually stopped working and had to go to a new medication. luckily when I moved out of my aunt's house the migraines died down and eventually went away. We think the bathroom in my room which had a huge crack on the roof may have been growing black mold...

I lived in it for over 2 years. it was horrible.

I wish all the people in my life would watch this video so they understand what I go through living with chronic migraines, none of my friends understand

[twicexcamila]

I've had migraines since I was 4 (I'm now 15) they last for about three days minimum. I can't do anything cause of the pain and because I'm constantly throwing up. it really annoys me when I'm in class and someone says they have a 'migraine' when they really don't. and you can tell they don't and your not just assuming.

[Roserose-ocuc]

Im young 16 years and I started experiencing mine around about 14 and since then I lived with them. It really does suck to hear adults at my school say "I get mingraine too and you dont see me complaining and not showing up for work" and it really does bug me but it's just something I got to deal with for 2 more years.

[jorjaharakal]

yes, but imagine having migraines everyday. Welcome to my life. I have chronic migraines and everyone always says "come on it's just a headache" the worst part? I'm still in school. I miss so much I will probably fail

[Brentt]

This is so very true. I'm really sick of the people who call their headache a migraine. They wouldn't be doing what they do if it was a true migraine. You can't work through a migraine either as the pain is so incredibly bad. I probably will end up dieing one day from these migraines, one way or another.

[erksipa]

Woah! Please be careful with that information, because it can be misleading. You might fool some people into thinking they don't have migraines. The degree of disability vary and the pain too. Does it have to be throbbing? Nope. Can you manage to go to work on a migraine? Maybe, depends on the severity.

[skyemoran]

I've had migraines since I was 5 years old (I'm 15 now). I see a neurologist now and am on medication to help stop my migraines from happening and naproxen usually helps the migraines. My migraines are still as severe when I do get them, but I went from getting them 3 times a week to 3 times a month. I had one today. I had to take 2 naproxen today to relieve it. I took some in the morning before school cuz I woke up with it. That helped a small amount (still a small headache). I got home and it had come back, but worse than it was in the morning. I had to take another naproxen even though you can only take another pill after 12 hours of taking the first one I had to take it. I had to take a nap to alleviate the pain, but still I'm left with acute pain and nausea. I'd like to say I'm used to it by now, but that would be a lie.

[itziaramos]

Exactly! People don't seem to understand

[crazytexter]

I once had a weird migraine where it was on the right side of my head, and keep in mind this was my first migraine and it was the ones where you don't get a warning and it just happens, and I legit CRYED I layer in bed, kept flipping my pillow to the cold sides and putting the right side of my head on it, desperately watching YouTube videos on how to cure migraines, none of them worked, it lasted about 2 and a half hours and then it stopped for like 20 seconds, THEN I GOT A MIGRAINE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MY HEAD, same thing, accept it only lasted like 45 minutes, pfft, seriously one of the worst 3 hours of my life.

[margaretmuthoni]
