OMG,yesterday morning I was slammed so hard with migraine pain I thought I was gonna die!And I am not kidding.
The pain,then I was in and out of it.Couldn't get up for awhile.Finally did to get Imetrex,which at first made my pain level shoot thru the roof.Needles and pins pain all over the top of my head.My facial pain was so bad.I only had one Imetrex,so I don't know if a second one would've helped.
I am not writing this for advice.I am just venting.Part of the reasone I vent of course,is to get it out.Another is to let those who might be going thru migraine pain and just think they're crazy because it's so trivialized in the media.If you go thru anything like this,it is real.Migraine is a disease,migraineurs are disrespected.
I write this in hopes of helping anyone with migraine,anyone who lives with,loves,works with a migraineur to let you know they are not full of shit.Their pain is real.What is full of shit is the commercials that show a teacher or a woman out for the evening,here comes the migraine monster and poof she kicks him away with a pill.
Migraine can and does kill.People take their own lives,migrainous stroke can kill.
So,I am begging,for those of you who suffer migraine,please don't think you are not important.And for those of you not familiar with migraine and know someone who suffers,get familiar.You could mean a world of difference in that person's life.
