I want people to stop downplaying the severity of migraines as “just a headache, drink some water”.

Migraines can put you down for a whole week. Make it so you cant eat, can’t open your eyes, can’t hear sounds. They make you extremely nauseous and weak. Shit sucks tbh

The amount of times I got migraines working at the call center and was told “just take some advil and a 5 min break.”

Nooe! I am taking my ass home to sleep this shit off because for a lot of people, that’s the only thing that helps. Finding the right medication is tough

There are so many different triggers out there outside of stress its crazy. I get mine mostly when the weather starts to shift in spring and winter. I get mine also from stress and eating too much junk.

Then people start suggesting you take things that you know personally do not help. Like just because the weather changes trigger my migraines doesn’t mean I should take an allergy pill.
