aura, stars, nausea the whole bit. its definately not fun

The auras are my enemies

I prefer to be nausous, because if I throw up then I can feel better

i hate the nausea, it can't stand it. i've had to drive hoem a few times from work with a migraine.

I would kick your butt kevman, but I'm in too much pain 🙁

I hear you, i ususally pop a tylenol when i start seeing the stars/aura. it usually diffuses the migraine, but you gotta take it at the first signs. my nephew gets em too, he does the same

I took the pill as soon as I noticed. It didn't help

I have some suggestions:
-Chug Nyquil until you either pass out or are too messed up to care about the migraine.
-Whiskey + whiskey + whiskey + whiskey... etc.
-Not sure if it's any good for migraines, but anything with codeine will do wonders for pain.

1) ask the peple with dragons as avatars
2) it's the default avatar and I really don't care to change it because I think they're stupid

1) Good point.
2) Fair enough.

If microsoft can sell windows and office to a tree they are fvcking geniuses

ive never really had a migraine before, but i did suffer with a headache that was ongoing for almost 2 months. imagine living every waking hour of your life with a headache. the only time i dont have one is when i was sleeping. i went to every specialist you can think of and no one was able to help me. my only suggestion is if you have any prescription pain killers, they seem to work the best.

The only thing that works for me is pain medicine (Vicoden, etc.)

...problem is, pain pills are a trigger in themselves.

It's a no win situation, and it grinds on you.

And the boss loves it when you tell them you're going home because you have a "headache".

Coworkers wonder why you can't just take an aspirin like they do and get back to work.

Calling in sick because you have a headache, for the second (fith!) day in a row always goes over real well.

Girlfriends can't understand why you're "sick" all the time.

That game/concert/movie/dinner/etc. that you had to stay home from will never come again.

You'd rather die than travel.

The sun is your enemy.

Perfume is a close freakin' second.

.......I could go on and on, but i've got a migraine.

I wish everyone could get migraines so they could compare.

Funny thing though, sun and smell aren't that big of a deal for me. However, I do wear sunglasses when I'm trying to recover and I certainly don't want to be around perfume

How is viagara going to help?

Best headache evAr

Had an optical head ache at the end of the school day(back in high school) went completely blind in one eye and lost about 20% of my vision in the other eye. Scared the fvcking sh!t out of me. Worst part is I had to drive home while having 40% of normal vision. One of the freakiest things I ever did(and maybe the dumbest). About 2 hours latter my vision returned to normal and I had a small headache. Went to the doctor the next day and found out all about optical headaches. Haven't had one yet. Cause was a sh!tton of stress.

Anyway, in case you don't know, migraines are so severe that you really can't do anything. I have been in bed for 17 hours, minus a few minutes to pee.

I'm still in great pain and cannot see straight

See the Doctor;again.

Have you got a Carbon Monoxide detector in your place?/

Make sure your not getting sick due to CO poisoning.!!!!!!!!
