"we want you to also know you are not alone" this line made me cry... i have migraine and some people just think that im overreacting, don't understand how painful it and even do something that can make it worse

[jeremy]

If you don’t have migraines you will never really know how incredibly painful they are.

[Leinewe]

My migraines are so painful, I need to be in a dark room and just keep throwing up. It always hurts so bad I just want to cut open my whole skull to relive the pressure

[AsimNkosiMusic]

My migraines make me fall into depression ever so often. I'm also in therapy for anxiety. It makes me feel disabled and like i'm not enough . Fighting the fight though 💪🏾🙌🏾

[brennaerdman]

When you have all the with aura symptoms... plus more

[nolo]

What I learned about this video : basically, life can cause a migraine

[boyo]

I watch migraine videos when I have a migraine episode. They make me feel like I’m getting better ... lel

[anshumaansinghthakur]

Oh GOD I suffer from migraine and it's really is horrible.

[ciarajohnson]

Having migraines & headaches every day to every other day makes me so miserable 😭 nothing over the counter works

[christinaappadurai]

Seriously I can bear everything even falling Stomach pain period cramp even child birth but no to migraine

[DCYTB]

Foods that tigger migraines: Literally anything you eat.

[ShizukaReikaHusunaki]

Good video, but I was sad to see that apparently it was just for a sponsership...

[skynet]

What more people need to understand is that it's NOT just a headache! It's extremely debilitating, and speaking as someone who get 15-25 attacks per month, with so far no medication working, my life is literally CONTROLLED by this illness right now...
I have even developed a kind of phobia of traveling, as i have an intense fear of getting stranded around people i don't know when i have an attack, as i have even had people call an ambulance on me twice because they didn't know what to do!

A friend of mine also has it, but his is treatable, and we have actually joked about how if someone came to you during a very bad attack with a powerdrill, and told you that drilling into your temples would get rid of the pain, you would do it! And this sounds insane to other people, but that's how bad it can get...

It interferes with everything in my life too: It disturbes my sleep pattern, my diet, my work, my exercise and even my social life...

[adam]

I've suffered with migraines for about 18 months I've been put on Bisoprolol and Candesartan as a migraine prevenative they become that severe I have seziures alongside nausea, numbness on one side of my body., forgetfullness, confusion, pins and needles, sensitivity to light and blurred vision e, g, aura This is to all Migraine sufferers out there you've got this

[juliebl]

I have three possibilities when I have a migraine:
1- Take my medication and hope it goes away
2- Go to sleep (if I sleep just a tiny bit while having a migraine attack, it goes a away instantly)
3- Wait it out (wait till I throw up and feel better after😊)

[sammicollette]

Last up to 3 days? I'm currently on day 202 of a migraine!

[jeannebrdt]

Haven't finished the video but guys, migraines can go way over 3 days. I had to stay in bed for 3 weeks once

[Jamsauce]

I suffer from migraines and for me it starts with vision loss and then I feel sick, and after about 10-25 minutes the main event happens and it is horrible. My teachers are understanding though and sometimes let me sleep in class just so I could take care of it for a bit while they write me a nurse pass

[Eve]

There is a prophylaxis treatment with magnesium (300 mg) and vitamin B2 (400 mg) per day. Taken daily for 6 months reduces frequency and severity of migraines. My boss, a neurologist, has a lot off success with this prophylaxis. There are several options for the treatment of the acute migraine. The important point is that the medication has to be taken right at the start.

[annaellemay]

I sometimes reach such a level of pain where I just lie in pitch darkness and wait for my inevitable death which unfortunately doesn't come to the rescue
