Imagine not being able to function normally. 9 out of 10 people with migraine report this during an attack, with nearly 3 in 10 needing bed rest. Recognize the severity of this #MHAM. #MigraineSymptoms #InvisibleIllness #MigraineAwareness Migraine Awareness Month #MigraineAwarenessMonth

It's #MigraineAwarenessMonth and I suffered a 40-day migraine recently. I've had migraine activity for years but I had no idea that they could last that long. Let's learn about what a #migraine really feels like... 🧠 Pain, pressure, and exhaustion far beyond a "bad headache." 🧠 It feels like a jackhammer pounding inside your skull with no off switch. 🧠 It's like trying to think through a fog while every sound and light feels ten times louder and brighter. 🧠 It feels like your brain is being squeezed and stabbed at the same time. 🧠 It feels like your head is too heavy for your body, like you could collapse under the weight of the pain. 🧠 It's a throbbing, relentless ache that makes time feel like it's standing still. 🧠 It feels like your senses have turned against you― smells, sounds, light-all too much. 🧠 It's being so exhausted you can barely sit upright, even though you haven't moved. 🧠 It feels like every heartbeat echoes painfully through your skull.

In the last 30 days, I've had 3 #migraine free days. Today is not one of them. June is #MigraineAwarenessMonth. And let me just say as much as you think #ChronicMigraine sucks, it sucks worse than that. Yes, I'm complaining, I'm absolutely sick of being so damn miserable. #Spoonie
