Make it stop
Today, I celebrated my fifteen-week anniversary. No, not a relationship anniversary. A migraine anniversary. It won't stop. FML

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

What a headache
Today, it was the day of the doctor's appointment that I've been waiting for for eight months. I woke up with a fever and had to reschedule. The next appointment is next year. Guess I have to put up with my daily migraines until 2021. 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 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, 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, 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
so much for a good day

Today, I grinned for five minutes straight because my friends told me it would put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. It gave me a migraine. FML

Today, I discovered what it feels like to be extremely constipated while having a vomit-inducing migraine. FML

Make it stop
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 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

a fifteen week long migraine? please tell me you've seen a professional, cause that sounds like something definitely isn't right

Uh, I think it's more complicated than that. It sounds like you're talking about a regular headache. Migraine is much different.

Op, I too suffer from migraines, I actually go next month to start the Botox injections. They've been on stop for over a year, since I had my daughter. I went to my family doctor and got a referral to a neurologist. There's also ear piercings that are supposed to help!

I wanted to throw this out there so you may learn something from my bad experience. I've had a constant migraine going on 15 yrs and put off Botox until there seemed like there were no other options. What I didn't know at the time is that there are different types of Botox; A,B&C. It's been a while since I had it done and I think they gave me C. There are also generics, and in my opinion I wouldn't go for the generic. I had 3 rounds; 1 every 3-4 months at 35ish "shots" each time. The first 2 times I had it done, I had Botox-A and while it didn't really help, I didn't have any kind of reaction. The last one, they sent the other class and my face blew up like a puffer fish and there was nothing that could be done to fix it other than waiting for it to wear off. I've since found out my system doesn't react to meds like most people do, we figured that out through a DNA test where they analyze your cheek swabs to find out how our meds break down meds, which ones to stay away from and which will work best, etc... I'm sorry to ramble, I just wanted to give you a quick background of what I've done. Point being, talk to your dr and ask which one they will be using, how long and approx many times they've done the procedure and the outcomes of the successful times and any kind of unsuccessful reactions they've had. I hope you have a better outcome than I did with the treatment, I just wanted to tell you something that you might not have had brought up. Best wishes for you to get to feeling better ASAP!

You do realize you were supposed to go to the hospital after day 3 right? They can give you a shot that makes it go away.

Op, I'm on year three and half of my migraines. They haven't stopped at all. Been to several professionals and they all say nothing is wrong. But do see a someone, hopefully they can help you out! :)

I experienced a very bad headache that lasted for just over two months when I was in college. I ended up finding out that 1) I had a terrible astigmatism in one eye so glasses helped a bit and 2) The medication the doctor gave me did not work at all but over the counter "Migraine Relief" from Rite Aid does the trick for whatever reason. Good luck! Headaches are the worst!

I don't know wtf is poisoning us all, but me and people I talk to have had a ridiculous number of endless migraines these past couple of years, more than in our whole lives. Trust No One.

Specifically B2. I take 400mg. It does turn your pee neon yellow or orange (getting rid of any your body doesn't use), so be sure to monitor your water intake because you won't be able to tell how hydrated you are from the color of your urine.
