Migraines are horrendous and often friends, employers and family do not understand how debilitating they are.
It’s not a “take 2 aspirins” and your back on your feet in 30 minutes.
They are there for a minimum of 24 hours (sometimes days) and then when they do go away, you are left with that punched out migraine hangover.
Dulled, tired, and behind at work.
The treatments are too extreme for most people. I never took meds for them. I hope they can find a way to help people who suffer from migraine.
“you are left with that punched out migraine hangover.”
Ung, I know it well.
Walking around in a daze feeling like death-warmed-up.
There is a lot of variation between people. I used to get terrible headaches with nausea. Then for ten years or so nothing. For the last few years I get the auras every few months but no headaches.
Know all that very well.
You are certainly correct! Migraines are awful. I had them for years sometimes with the fuzzy aurora sometimes without. I had headaches triggered by allergies too. About 6 hours after eating certain things like corn and chocolate, I would be in severe pain sometimes with vomiting. All this was gone by the time I was 55 or 60 so maybe hormones played a role in it too.
