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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Help
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

Stress level: 2020
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

Sounds fun
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

My brain hates me
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.

Dang that sucks... the longest I've had one is 2 weeks, has your doctor talked to you about Dihydroergotamine (DHE)?

Smoke Marijuana. Seriously, it will make migraines disappear and helps to prevent their return.

I once had a status migraine that lasted two months. I recommend going to the er and asking to see a neurologist

I know you've probably tried tons of remedies, but I recommend Johnson's Baby Soothing Vapor Bath (it's like 4/5 dollars at Walmart). Menthol can do wonders for migraines. Use it in the shower, suds it all over your body, relax and breath it in for 5 minutes or so, then rinse off. Should help you feel a lot better. I've read about a lot of migraine sufferers using it every night and rarely ever having migraines anymore.

I feel you, OP. In my junior year of high school I missed an entire month of school because of a migraine that just wouldn't quit no matter what I did. I hope you're finally able to break it. Until then, dark rooms and silence.
