Ugh, had an appointment with #neurology. He wants me to go back to #cardilogy and possibly get a tilt table test.

On a good note, he gave me something to take when I get a #migraine. Has anyone in
used Zavpert (nasal spray)?

Nap #migraines suck, especially when they wake you up. 🤕
I just took an Excedrin Migraine and a Benadryl and I'm drinking a coke.

People with migraine have lower levels of melatonin than the general population and... The way brain produces melatonin and it the way it responses is different which is why migraine is more common in the early morning hours like between 4am-7am that wake up migraine is more common because of these shifts in melatonin

An Andes mint

I found a #cure for my #migraine!!! I'm so happy 😄

Cough drops kinda work too. They knock it down a few points, but these bad boys completely obliterate it!!!

It hurts so bad on the bridge of my nose and behind my eyes. The base of my skull hurts too but not as bad as up front.

And it's to the point where #neurology doesn't know what to do with me cuz I've tried everything that I can afford 😭

Woke up with a massive #migraine. Can't see straight and almost threw up. Thank the goddess for zofran. #migraineur

I just found out that not only do I get #migraines from my mom (who doesn't get them anymore), but my great aunt gets them too. 😭😭😭

This is my bruise today. my partner doesn't want me taking Excedrin #Migraine anymore cuz it has aspirin in it so might make me bruise more.

He got me some Tylenol.

It ain't doing shit. 😭

I made through dinner with my grandparents and had a good time even though with an exploding #migraine. But then I lost my dinner. Pizza is not as good when it comes back up.

I know why I've had a #migraine for a couple days. My Qulipta was not in my meds last week.
I started taking it again this morning. I hope it starts working again soon. 🤞
Send good vibes please. I'm sick of being in pain.
