- Migraine is spot on, except they forgot the fetal position, demanded dark room, and optional puke bucket. Oh, and rage..garbage
- I get the aura, meaning when I start seeing the lights, I am in full doom-prepper mode for the hellshake that will be my brain for the rest of the day.garbage
- Only have one every few months, but if the frequency ever intensifies, I will kill myself. No joke.garbage
- Picture going about your day, and you see some lights around your eyes and know you have to drop everything. I've literally dropped groceries and ran home..garbage
- ..because I saw the lights and knew I had about half an hour before there was going to be a hellscream behind my eyes. I wouldn't wish it on people I hate.garbage
- garbage, friend of mine has those. sometimes a foot massage calms her down enough (prob.only before the lights) so she can sleep it out. also contact with earthuan
- she has to take it easy the next 2 days afterwards. it's terrible for the system. luckily it's maybe once in two years now, it became less regular with time.uan
- I used to work with an art director that had a shunt installed in the back of his neck where he injected meds directly into his spinal column. Daily.Gnash
- @garbage duuuude.
I know.exador1 - i started getting them at age 14 in 9th grade. first time i had NO idea what the fuck was going on..thought i was dying or something...exador1
- got them several times in high school, then, maybe... 3-4 times in my life since then...exador1
- what worked for 'me' was learning not to freak out and stress myself out... first several times i got it, i was sick as a dog afterwards...exador1
- last time i got it was about 3 years ago, and i just sat quietly, and didn't get upset or anything...and just kinda passively let it happen...exador1
- once the 'sparkling lights' drifted away from my view, i was pretty exhausted, but not sick to my stomach like earlier times....exador1
- gotta be calm, take 2 Advil, water, sunglasses, let the black white shimmers slowly fill your vision, then migrate ‘off screen’ over 45 ish minutesprophetone
- then pray it’s not followed by debilitating nausea, sometimes it is, sometimes you dodge that bulletprophetone
- then microwave hangover head for 48 hours... fun!prophetone
- @exador and @propht Yeah, if you've actually felt them, anxiety is a huge, huge part of it.garbage
- @gnash that's fucking gnarly. My mom had them daily, and then it turned out she also had a brain tumor. Hence my "if these trends continue, I will kill myself"garbage
- @uan I'd imagine the footrubs were.. just knowing you're not alone. Having somebody to take care of you is crucial.garbage
- My gf and I have been together for almost 10 years, by now even she knows when one is coming on. It's one of the only times I have a scared face.garbage
- Haven't had one in 5 months, but I'm sure just by talking about it I'll have one this week.garbage
- I used to take imetrex by injections for my migraines. The meds came with a vhs tape with instructions on how to inject. Later they came out with a nasal sprayGnash
- Never tried it, I don't even take aspirin or anything because nothing works. The worst fake treatment I ever tried was some advice from my cousin..garbage
- ..his are worse than mine, and he swore by running an ice cold bath and hopping in the second he had aura.garbage
- ^ ouchGnash
- I tried that. Once. All I did was freeze my balls off and wonder if my cousin was punking me.garbage
- @garbage part of it is don't being alone. But there is more to it. It's more like pressure point massage than just rubs.uan
- I imagine the 'pain' felt on the feet overrides or confuses the part of the system that is causing the migraine. so my friend can relax and avoid the wave.uan
- Interesting how differently people deal with it. My method is a glass of juice and a blacked out room. I prefer to be alone because I get incredibly cranky..garbage
- ..and I just want to be left the fuck alone.garbage
