I've suffered of migraines since I was 5. In fact, I didn't know there were any other types of headaches. But, because I was so little, I always just said my head hurt and my eyes felt funny. My parents, bless them, blamed everything under the sun for my constant headaches and eventually assumed I was making it up. It wasn't until I was 15 that a migraine left me incapacitated that they rushed me to the emergency room because half of my face felt tingly/numb and I was seeing shadowy spots out of one eye that they took me seriously. Everyone thought I was having a stroke. 5 hours and one head MRI later the doctor very casually and almost dismissively said "it's /just/ a migraine." Just a migraine. So my parents now blamed my poor sleeping patterns (the pain kept me up which in turn caused more migraines) for any and all headaches. And as always, told me to ignore the pain and do my work because it was "just a headache." I learned to keep quiet when my head hurt. I was in debilitating pain 15 days per month, had to deal with school and everything else in silence. Then a miracle happened. My mom got a migraine one day and she was laid out on the couch, crying and incapable of so much as standing up. I laughed and said "what do you mean you can't make dinner, it's just a headache." Terrible, I know. But now she knew how I felt.

I get the smiling while distressed thing. I was severely abused as a child, a lot of it medical as well and if I cried or showed "negative" emotions in public I would be punished because no one could know about the abuse/neglect. So I was trained to smile no matter what I felt or how much pain I was in. It's really screwed up communication in my adult life and even though it's gotten better it's still my brain's go to so most people don't believe what I am feeling and it's infuriating. Anywho, thanks for giving me a place to share. Love and hugs.

Omg I haaaaate that! “Well you can’t be that upset...” “Well you don’t seem sick!” “You seemed fine with it!” *silently rages inside* My personal history isn’t that bad (I hope things are better in your life these days!!), but smiling, laughing, and seeming happy is definitely a defense mechanism but then it like also backfires a lot. But being ignored tends to be better than the alternative in the moment >.> I’ve been working on being more assertive and not hiding how I’m really feeling because it’s just led me into so many unhealthy inter-personal relationships where I let the other person walk all over me. It’s really hard though. People get angry when I stick up for myself and show that something they said or did upset me. AND NO ONE EVER APOLOGIZES! It’s really opened my eyes to how many of my friendships and other relationships are unhealthy. If someone doesn’t apologize to you after they upset you, even after they’ve had time to cool down, something is wrong! Now if only healthy friendships grew on trees.....

I’ve had a headache for two and a half years. People told me that my ponytail was the cause of my headache, but clearly not because the headache’s still there years after I cut my hair very short. People have told me that if I pierce my ears in the right spot I won’t get headaches anymore. I’ve tried meditation, acupuncture, massage, therapy, medications (many), and I have seen many doctors and gotten many different scans of my brain. Overall, I’m just tired and I want people who aren’t doctors to stop telling me what to do.

There's a difference between an occasional very bad headache that feels like the world will end for a few days (literally everyone has those...everyone), and an actual migraine disorder (they're not something that happens just on occasion). It's like the difference between being stressed over losing your job versus having a full-blown panic attack when things are actually all going very well, and calling them both anxiety, or having diarrhea and claiming that you know what colitis is like. In the moment, both suck horribly, but conflating them as the same thing hinders treatment of panic attacks as doctors will wonder if what someone's dealing with is a response to something. Not all very back headaches are migraines either. My mother used to get "migraines." Turns out she was chronically dehydrated from drinking vodka like water. Insisting to her doctor that she was having migraines is what results in doctors being slower to treat those of us who deal with them. My fucking insurance won't even cover my treatment. Not covering is justified as "everyone gets headaches sometimes" and telling me to try Tylenol for a few months (literally...Tylenol...). So I'm paying thousands a year out of pocket to get Botox in my scalp and neck, and consider myself very fortunate that I can do so. Since the shots I get help keep me from having more than the occasional mild migraine breakout (getting high as a kite can help that to an extend), I'm considered "cured" of something they say happens to everyone. But when they get full-blown, nothing but time will help, and it can take literally months to be able to function at all again. I go blind from them sometimes. Absolutely literally blind. If disorders versus normal this-fucking-SUCKS nightmare-headaches weren't conflated, we might actually get more treatment options, or any options, for disorders. Thankfully and fortunately, actual migraine disorders aren't common, but unfortunately, everyone has had a world-feelings-like-it-will-end headache on occasion.

I have hormone and stress induced migraines. So if I'm keeping healthy and am not stressed, I will on average lose 6-8 days a month due to hormonal migraines twice a month. If I'm stressed, I'll lose half a month instead. I can't eat, I can't look at anything or listen to anything and at worst I Can't sleep or lie down without feeling really nauseous, so I sit in the bathroom with my eyes closed instead. There's very little that they can do for migraines, so I just have a stack of Naproxen and an understanding that my employer really wouldn't feel good with me missing so much work, so I have to continue as normal as much as I can instead.

It's the "essential oils!" or "try lavender" suggestions that get me, because mine are extremely sensitive to odors of almost all kinds, but especially anything floral. I'd eliminated scented products from my life (also chocolate, stripes and strong contrasting patterns, video games, anise/licorice, and campfires...) and about eliminated my migraines. ...and then I got vestibular migraine, which appears to be triggered by "having a body" or "existing in space", idk, I'll let you know if I ever narrow it down. Anyway, I'm always kind of shocked when I hear fellow migraineurs talk about using lavender, even though I know we all have different triggers. It's just such a strong one for me it's like my body doesn't believe it doesn't smell like pain to everyone.

Yes. It really doesn't make sense for everyone. Lavender is very polarizing and some hate it. Also, I adore lavender (as tea) but not in essential oil form. Floral essential oils of all kinds are heavy and strong and trigger my migraines when diffused and are horrible for those with scent sensitivities (I can use small amounts in sprays or cleaning where the scent soaks into something though and doesn't sit in the air). Mint oil is the only essential oil that never triggers my scent sensitivities and migraines.

Luckily, my migraines are mostly just really annoying (and painful, which somehow always surprises me) and usually not 'need to keep my eyes closed in a dark room' kind of bad. I work through my migraines all the time. They happen at such a regular frequency that I can't take 1-2 weeks off work to deal with them. Plus, both my work and my hobbies all require my eyesight, so if I can do hobbies, I can work... I just get frustrated. Though, going out in the sun is a no-no with a migraine. And I wear sunglasses outside almost year round as soon as there's even a little bit of sun...

My mom has had migraines throughout my childhood. Many doctors just said she was stressed and had normal headaches. She could lay in bed for days, hating her kids for every sound they made. But it was just stress..... When she finally was diagnosed, she tried some special medication, that helped with the pain, but had heart-rythm-sideeffects. Through puberty and when I took the pill I suddenly got to know her pain. Thank god those hormones settled down afterwards.

Does it depend on our relationship/degree of closeness? I also have memory issues (well, mine were more related to my 'inability to focus properly' issues, though now they seem to be genuine memory problems as my thyroid issues increase...~sigh~), so I generally preface every story with "I can't remember if I already told you this, but..." in order to give my companion a heads up that I don't mind being told to shut up. ;)

Yes!!! Last Saturday. I was at my parents with my boyfriend and her mom for lunch and i had a migraine. i sat at the table, closed my eyes and just started pushing my eyes back to relive the pressure.I even kinda held my left eye and thought about how yanking it out would solve everything. I also usually think about how shoving an icepick in my temple _just there_ would be nice. I wouldn't do it but i think about it. One time it was really bad and it lasted for days, this was years ago before i was getting proper medication. i sat on the floor next to my bed and was banging my temple against the edge. My mom had to stop me and it really scared her. I don't remember how i got through it but i remember the banging part and how it did relieved some of the pressure. I think yanking my eye out or shoving an icepick in my temple would feel similar. If i would tell this to someone who hasn't experienced a strong migraine they would think I'm insane. But pain is a very strong motivator, the strongest in my opinion, and exchanging excruciating pain to little less intense pain seems logical when you just feel like you can't take it anymore. Edit: sorry for the long comment

I had a migraine a few years ago that was so bad I had my husband take me to the ER (in the US), after giving me a CT scan (I assume to rule out a stroke - family history with them) and a slew of medicines that did jack all...they gave me morphine and life was worth living again. OH, I also found out migraines can be hereditary - thanks so much Dad and Mom for that genetic whammy. I also found over time that I am a weirdo in that when I get them I never know what is going to make me ill - i.e. light, sound, smell, or any combination...my sister has light issues when she gets hers, Dad is sound, and Mom was smell. So I feel like such an over achiever when I'm hiding in my dark room, wearing ear plugs, and a towel jammed under the door so I can't smell what ever that gruel is that is being scorched in the kitchen (sarcasm, it just translates to that mid-migraine). Hope your pain clinic can help you find relief and that you don't suffer many migraines until then. P.S. the bag clip can be replaced with a laundry peg or really anything that can apply pressure to the area for an extended period of time. Love and Blessings.

I've had migraines since I was little. Of course, I didn't realize they were migraines until much more recently. I just thought I couldn't handle headaches as well as everyone else. I recall regularly having to go to the nurse's office in school, to the point she stuffed a bed in a dark closet and referred to it as "Ali's room." But yea, I've received a lot of odd advice over the years. Amazingly, I also have received the orgasm advice, though mine was luckily not from a teacher. I don't think I'd ever go to school again if it had. One I found online was peppermint. This was near Christmas, so i had a lot of candy canes readily available. Ended with me giving myself a stomach ache and my migraine went nowhere. I've also had too many people tell me to pray my migraine away, which is just on a whole other level of not helpful. Especially because it then becomes my fault that it inevitably doesn't work.

Menthol helps me a lot. Those little inhalers, i don't really know what you call them but you usually use it them you have cold, they are little bullet shaped plastic things with menthol and you put it up to your nose. I buy them in bulk, like 10 at a time, they help a lot with migraines and also with anxiety. They have a small container of menthol oil at the bottom and i rub that on my temple. But when i was a kid & teen and didn't get proper medication i would soak a bandana in cold water then tie it tightly across my forehead. The cold helped and also the pressure.

Last year I had the worst migraine of my life while home alone, nothing I did helped, finally passed out. Woke up at 4am thinking I was having a heart attack (Never check symptoms online!) and drove myself to the hospital while mostly blind with auras! Fun!

It IS always better when other people do it for you. Also, please don't feel so self-conscious about your eyes, they're lovely (even though I'm usually busy lip-reading)

(I know you read them out, but I'm also HoH) Kudos for not only mustering the energy to film this in full makeup & good lighting during a migraine but also pronouncing weird words which I'm sure required several takes lol
