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

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.

I would love to hear the 686 explanations as to how or why someone could deserve a migraine of any length, let alone a four month one.

I understand your pain. I've had chronic headaches and migraines for my entire life. If you haven't gone to a neurologist, I suggest going to one. You should probably talk about having some sort of scan. I have been through lots of scans, and I can promise that the loud clanging in your ear will be worth it. I'm sure you wouldn't want to have to worry about an aneurysm or a tumor. If you already been through those, I hope you will find some sort of medicine that will help. Sadly I haven't found one that really works, but the best I've had was botox.

Nothing about that comment made any sense. It appears that thinking is probably not your game, might explain the migraines as well.

You need to see a doctor, could be more than just a migraine. I hope all is well.

My first migraine lasted 6 months. I was on medication for half of that time and for another two years afterwards. Then I just kind of stopped taking everything. About three months ago I started seeing a neurologist again. Aside from lifestyle changes, she has me taking a B2 supplement and a magnesium citrate supplement. I also take Topamax, like others have mentioned, but it's giving me some unpleasant side effects and I'm not on the full dose yet. I also see an acupuncturist and a chiropractor once and twice a week respectively. Everything combined, I'm going from daily headaches and 1+ migraines a week to 1 or 2 headaches a week and only getting migraines around my period or when I encounter a trigger. I promise it does get better, but you have to see a doctor. You've had a migraine for 4 months. Hopefully it's just a migraine and not something more serious.

I'm assuming you've already been to the doctor. Time for a specialist.

imatrex.... I have chronic migraines... it's been a life saver for me. the injection or the nasal spray. tablets don't do anything.

I take prevention meds (topiramate and nortriptyline) because I suffer from chronic migraines as well. Also always have a ready supply of medication for if/when you get a migraine (such as zomig.) Also, knowing your triggers is very useful for migraines, so you can avoid them as much as possible.

Why would you wait more than 3 days? Consistent headaches are a clear sign of an imbalance in your system. Either stress, blood pressure, or something worse.
