When A Migraine Is At Its Worst

When the sound of running water is painful...

When a sneeze makes you feel like your head is about to explode...

When any movement, no matter how small, makes you feel like you are going to vomit...

When the smallest glow of light feels like daggers in your eyes...

When you are filled with anxiety and fear because your meds are not helping enough...

When you can't focus on anything longer than 4 or 5 seconds...

When you can't bear stimuli of any kind...

What's a migrainista to do when a migraine is at its worst?

This is a trick question. There really is nothing we can do but wait out some measure of relief.

Damn.

  1. And when you are so stressed out, and afraid, and tired and pissed that you finally break down, your own sobs only make the migraine worse. Ugh, I feel you, sister.
