Today, I got a migraine. I work in an arcade with lots of bright lights, loud noises and screaming children. I was stuck in there for 7 hours. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was forced to come in to work early in the morning. For me, that means I will have a pounding migraine, vomiting, and diarrhea for at least the next two weeks. FML
Today, I finally went to the hospital for a week-long migraine. A few Saturdays ago I went to the park to play frisbee with my friends and coworkers. While climbing a fence, I fell and hit my head twice. Turns out I have a severe concussion and a swollen brain. FML
Today, I experienced my third day in a row with visual aura causing a migraine. I informed my safety and human resources departments, who both offered help. When I went to tell my supervisor, she told me that women experience this all the time and I need to learn to deal with it. FML
Today, after pushing myself really hard all week to find a new job, I was looking forward to having a nice relaxing weekend with my family. Nope, I got a migraine and can barely function, but also can't sleep. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with migraines. Any loud sounds or bright lights make it worse. I'm the drummer for a heavy metal band, so I now have to choose between really bad migraines or a career. FML
Today, I forced myself into work with severe laryngitis. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, except I work at candy and ice cream store at a major tourist destination. For seven hours I had to communicate with unsympathetic adults and screaming, bratty kids by miming and using a dry erase board. FML
Today, I took a day off to read a book, but ended up with a headache from staring at a screen all day. FML
Today, I came home from work early due to a massive headache. A half hour later, the jackhammering started. FML
Today, I got my ass kicked by my boss at work. Why? Because I missed my shift on Saturday, because I slept through my alarms and the phone calls from my co-workers, and I woke up three hours later in a state of panic. This is all because of a medicine I'm on for migraines. FML
Today, I woke up with a skull-splitting headache. I braved the wind and freezing temperatures to get to work. Today is also the day my boss thought it would be cute to let the elementary school band play at our office. FML

Next time carry Excedrin Migraine, a bottle of ice water, and a small face towel. Take off for five minutes, even three, of complete silence. In about twenty minutes your migraine should be gone. Even sip Coke or a similar caffeinated drink. It usually helps relieve the tension. I hope you felt better sooner rather than later, sweet pea!

Poor thing. Working at McDonald's isn't the best place either for migraines.

That sucks, sorry OP. Hopefully you don't get them more than a few times a week. Migraines can definitely be a pain

Ouch. First FML to make me exclaim out loud, "Awww, man." Get some meds if this is recurring.

No sympathy there. Ever heard of Advil buddy? Works in 20 min. The fact you tortured yourself for 7 hours makes no sense to me. I get migraines all the time and I'm a SAHM. Pop two liquid gels and you're back in business. Stop being a dramaqueen.
