Today, it's the 11th day of my migraine. I've drunk enough water to piss crystal clear, eaten every type of food there is, slept for days, and tried every remedy in my medicine cabinet. Nothing made a dent in the splitting pain. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, it's the sixth day in a row of non-stop migraines, due to grinding my teeth. Medicine works, but doesn't last. A mouth guard offers very little relief, I'm just so stressed out, and I think too much. FML
Today, it's the third day of me having a migraine. I just want to kill myself. I've tried tablets, no screen for 20 hours, sleep, hydration, food and everything. If it were not for my loving husband and caring kids, I wouldn't hesitate to kill myself. This is a monthly routine now, one week out of order. FML
Today, I'm in agony. I can't eat or drink anything without being in pain, including water. Doctors don't know what's wrong with me, and can only prescribe me painkillers I can only take 3 times a day. FML
Today, I've been suffering from unbearable headache, fever, agonizing body pain for more than ten days. I took a COVID test, an antibiotic tablets course, even a dengue test. Finally after spending my entire bank balance on tests and MRI, it was diagnosed as a migraine - which went away with a single tablet. FML
Today, I celebrated my fifteen-week anniversary. No, not a relationship anniversary. A migraine anniversary. It won't stop. FML
Today, I found out the trigger to my horrendous, disgustingly painful migraines that last up to 5 days is... Pain. My migraines are literally causing themselves. FML
Today, I learned that pregnancy makes me more prone to migraines, but the only pain killer I can take makes me vomit. So I have to choose between being in pain and vomiting for hours on end. FML
Today, I discovered what it feels like to be extremely constipated while having a vomit-inducing migraine. FML
Today, I had my third incapacitating headache this week. This has been happening for months. Pain killers and other remedies seem to work at random, if at all. Nobody has been able to tell me the cause. FML
Today, after nearly three weeks of gastritis, my stomach has finally calmed down and I'm no longer feeling sick all day. Also today I woke up with a debilitating migraine and I can't function without taking pain medication. Guess how my stomach likes that… FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get an MRI, with color contrast, and go to an ophthalmologist, I'm actually going through the same thing right now, (for 5 months) and doctors will only give pills, so go to specialists. I went to the ophthalmologist last (not by choice), and she said my sinuses were adding more flesh, especially under my eyes, and that is the cause of my intense headaches, and if I waited any longer, it would've eventually led to glaucoma. So my advice to you, don't waste any time and go to specialists because doctors only want your money and would put you on pills until you're addicted and then just up the dosage. Also, change your diet, drink smoothies as much as you can, and cut milk out of your diet. I also bought an air purifier and peppermint essential oils to clean the air in my room, and pillow mist to help me fall asleep faster, and it's working a lot. Best of luck to you.

Good luck with the doctor's visit. Since they don't teach migraines in medical school besides neurology because it's a "female ailment", you might end up knowing more about your migraines than your doctor. So write "neurologist", "cat scan", "chiropractor" and "underdiagnosed" on a slip of paper, add the name of a female neurologist and prepare to ask for a referral. There are also great migraine help lines out there. Since there are more female medical students than male medical students nowadays, it will get better over time.

You may have a concussion. Or just try small doses of caffeine if you don’t take in much caffeine. If you do tone it back a little.

maybe try smoking pot. a good friend of mine has chronic migraines and is always in pain. out of every medication he's ever tried nothing helps like pot.
