If You’ve Never Been In Pain Because Of Migraines Don’t Say These Things


 We know that there is no harm, but just don’t say it if you’ve never experienced growing a demon inside your head.

1. “I totally get it; I get headaches, too.”

Heads-up: A headache is to a migraine as stubbing your toe is to getting your foot run over by a Zamboni.

2. “Couldn’t you just work if you stayed home?”

Things we can’t do when we have a migraine: get out of the fetal position, see through the spots and flashes in our vision, stop throwing up. So, yeah, working would be on the list, too.

Yup, we probably have. So, unless you just invented a new migraine treatment, support is preferable to advice.

Yup, changes in stress levels can trigger migraines. And most people struggle with stress management. So, let us know when you cure stress.

When we have a migraine, the only thing we want more than for it to go away is for no one to touch us, especially on our heads.

Chances are we’ve been to a doctor to get it checked out, but if you’re actually concerned that we haven’t, maybe rephrase your concern in a less…terrifying way.

7. “You probably just need to take better care of yourself.”

Even when you work hard to manage your triggers, you can still get migraines.

Use the thing that legit disables us from work and life to get out of work or life? Absolutely not.

When we have a migraine literally the only thing that doesn’t hurt our eyes and ears is darkness and silence.

There’s nothing we’d like more than to be able to keep something down after all this throwing up.

That’s the thing about migraines: They keep coming back. Trust us, we’re more upset about that than you are.

Because they’re the only thing shielding our eyeballs from the light that is trying to stab them.

Foods don’t trigger migraines for everyone, but trust us, if we have a specific dietary trigger, we already know.

As soon as this throbbing pain subsides, we’ll get super happy.
