Migraines

[g!ggles]

f#*ck you! You always totally ruin my days and nothing that I take makes them go away not even my prescription drugs.

Why can't you just lay off for a few days and give me a break. I'm going on months now..... :(

ouch that's gotta hurt! I've been in and out of the hospital and specialist doing test after test for more then a year and they can't seem to figure out why I have them. Nothing seems to work.

i get them all the time and theres nothing i can do, I have just learnt to live with it

[g!ggles]

exactly what im doing right now.. with the exception of complaing once in a while b/c it's just soo annoying *haha* But they reallly do suck! I feel like such a baby when I get them.. b/c all I want to do is cry!

omg the funny part is that not even T3's help me. My system is totally immune to them. I have like 4 differnt types of prescription pills that my neurologist gave me but they don't even help. I'm convinced that I'm just soo use to feeling pain that maybe I'm just starting to make myself think that it's always there.

But today is totally sucking... which is why i just wanted to complain about it :(

But thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate it.

You guys can still function when you have migraines? Like, you're posting about them? Are you sure they're not just tension headaches? They're still really bad but NOT migraines.

I get both.
When I have a tension headache it feels like a migraine is coming on but won't get as bad. My temples throb and my head hurts BUT if I keep myself busy enough or try hard enough I can still work through them. Streching, massage therapy, and relaxation breathing techniques really help mine - you should look into it!

My migraines are completely disabling. I had one Saturday night and Sunday, and I literally did not get out of bed for over 30 hours :( They don't happen too often (once every 6 weeks - 2 months or so) but when they do, I'm out of commission for at least a full day.

haha im only functioning b/c if I don't come to work i get fired :) I'm not saying that I have migraines to get attention I was told that I had them. Before I even went to the doctor I only thought that they were tension headaches.... turns out I was wrong.

oh I hear you on that one! Trust me if I had it my way.. i would be hiding under my covers right now. I'm just trying to keep myself busy... so I forget that Im in pain.

But I do understand your point between the migraine and the tension headache.. some ppl just say migraine b/c it sounds more dramactic *lol*

[PwInCeSs]

When i have them i cant function really well at all, I whine aslot though but theres nothing i can do about them for now so when i get them i just lay in the dark whining.

look into TMJ (temper mandipular jaw) dysfunction, its where the mandible pushes against your temple and pinches the muscle that moves your lower jaw up and down. i have it from the three metal plates that were installed improperly. but its also common in normal people

^^ my poor honey :(

every day he wakes up owie. <3

Bout a year ago, I was in a car accident and unfortunatly I had to get brain surgery because I didn't go to the hospital right away.. I acctually couldn't talk becuase I hit the right side of my head and I was taken home to bed, totally out of it. So I woke up in the morning, with no clue of what happend the night before and I couldn't talk or see. Turns out I had hematomas (blood clots) and all my sinuses were torn and my brain was swelling.. So a half shaved head, and a near death experiance, I still get daily headaches.. I dont see them going away for a long time.

I'm the same way. Completely out of commission. I can't move or think or do anything but cry. I have to lay in the dark with earplugs in and even then every moment is agony. If I ever had one on a workday I would totally lose my job because there's no way I could ever make myself move to go to the bathroom, let alone sit up in the light and do stuff.
