hey #migrainesky #migrainechat does anyone else with migraines or other chronic pain struggle with dissociation a lot too? do you think the two seem related? and how do you cope? tysm for any advice/insight <3 #chronicpain #spoonie

A work in progress cross-stitch project on tan aida cloth. An intricate black frame is stitched on the left and bottom, including the words "Guardian of the woods." In the center, a figure with dark brown limbs is partially filled in. It looks vaguely like a spooky, wispy tree at this point.

Leshy, Day 4! His ominous form begins to take shape. Stitched today while watching Migraine World Summit interviews, before having to break to treat a particularly nasty migraine attack. #stitchsky #crossstitch #wip #migrainesky #chronicmigraine

My head is so bad today that I must lie down, but also so bad that my pillow makes the pain worse. Fml #migrainesky #chronicmigraine

I would give a kidney for 7 straight migraine free/pain free days… an entire fucking organ from my body for a small respite… but sure let’s argue that it’s not a disability and doesn’t require pain management… #migrainesky #migraine #painmanagement

This coffee will cure my migraine. Right? #MigraineSky

The atmospheric changes are baro-messing me up! Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. And by here I mean in bed under a stack of ice packs. And by all week I mean indefinitely. 🤕 #chronicmigraine #migrainesky

We NEED universal health care. In the meantime, people with chronic migraines like me have to deal with an employer insurance switch that has led to waiting on prior auth for my emgality injection. 🥺

I am already passed due and praying I dont get a migraine while I wait.

I am once again begging video/game creators to do the absolute bare minimum and put in a warning if your video/game contains strobing lights or flashing graphics. I'm so goddamn sick of suffering from other people's laziness and lack of concern for accessibility. #migrainesky #chronicmigraine

I've had to cancel yet another family gathering due to a horrible migraine attack. Isn't being chronically ill fantastic? #migrainesky #chronicmigraine

I wish folks discussed the postdrome phase of a migraine (migraine hangover). Now my eye feels weird which reflects the intensity of the pain I've felt today. Whew! 😳 #MigraineChat #MigraineSky

I don't remember how it feels to exist free from migraine pain. It's exhausting, isloating, and unceasing. I hate this. #chronicmigraine #migrainesky

Not me Googling mini fridges at 3am because my migraine hat smells like pickles. #migrainesky #chronicillness

Intense friggin’ migraine. Started last night and carried over into today. It’s so bright and sunny in SoCal, but I wish it was dreary and rainy outside to match my mood. 🤕 #MigraineSky

Step-Headache: A Distinct Symptom of Migraine Objectives  The diagnosis of migraine depends on various characteristics of headache with their associated constitutional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. Relatively se...

Oh my god there's a NAME for this migraine symptom! I often walk on tiptoe when my head is bad because regular footsteps make my head pain much worse, but haven't heard others discuss it, much less a term. #chronicmigraine #migrainesky pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Even though I went in expecting it, it still hurts to hear my neurologist say that there is nothing new or different that I can try in for migraine treatment, just retrying previously failed options. #chronicmigraine #migrainesky

I've been looking forward to my weekly knitting group meeting... only for today's migraine pain and related vision loss to make that impossible. Doesn't it suck when disability does, in fact, disable you? #migrainesky #chronicmigraine

They say mind over matter so how many times should I say, "I won't let this migraine ruin my day" for it to work? 🥺

This may be a silly question but I'm gonna ask it anyway. Do migraines ever stop or is this a lifetime condition? I am so tired of the pain😳. The meds help but they can only do so much. I just want it to stop. #MigraineSky #MigraineChat

This migraine tried to take me out today but my triptan came through. Sheesh 🙌🏾
#MigraineSky #MigraineChat

I'm at the stage of the migraine attack where I want to shave my head (tried it previously; didn't help) and pull out my teeth and replace with ice cubes (haven't tried; can't imagine that it is a good solution). #chronicmigraine #migrainesky

Although I will always choose a few seconds of excruciating pain from the Emgality injection over a throbbing migraine, they really need to figure out how to make this injection less painful. Sheesh... 😳😠 #MigraineChat #MigraineSky

Can't live without: ice packs (especially IceKap and Headache Hat). I have yet to find meds that work, but at least ice sometimes dulls the pain slightly.

Biggest disappointment: Botox. I went through multiple rounds of injections and it only ever made my head worse.

Anyone else with migraine finding this summer incredibly rough? My attacks are always bad with heat and sunshine, but it feels worse this season. #chronicmigraine #migrainesky

My head is so terribly painful today. Goddamn chronic migraine is awful. I just want to crawl into a hole and hibernate for approximately 700 years. Maybe by then there will be treatments for migraine that work for me. #chronicmigraine #migrainesky

Terrible migraine attack, almost no sleep last night due to painsomnia from said migraine, a potential for an incoming storm, and an air quality alert? Yeah this all sounds like a fun combo for me. 🫠 #chronicmigraine #migrainesky

The longer I refuse to accept that I'm having a TMJ flare up, the sooner it will end, right? Right?? #chronicmigraine #migrainesky

My emgality delivery is late so I've had migraines off and on since Sunday. Although the injection is painful, I can't wait for relief. The "triptan" I'm on helps but only a little. #MigraineSky #MigraineChat

I've been a night owl since birth and sleep has never been the easiest, but I do so miss the days when migraine attacks didn't keep me awake for hours on end every night. Insomnia is boring enough; I don't need all this damn pain, too. #migrainesky #chronicmigraine

That chronic illness feeling when you realize you know the pharmacy phone number by heart but can't remember the numbers of most immediate family members.... #migrainesky
