Hello

Hello, it's nice to meet you. I'm Robin. I'm 22 and have been dealing with what seems to be episodic migraines. I'm typing this as I'm in bed right now with pain behind both eyes with the right eye being more intense. I got triggered just by going outside in this weather. I know I don't have chronic migraines, but I experience headaches and migraines frequently, experiencing them 1-3 times a week at most. I also have autism and severe asthma on top of those, so I'm trying my best to accommodate for myself. I cannot see a doctor for this because I am already seeing a handful of others for my lungs. I honestly feel bad reaching out for help because I don't have chronic migraines, but I have had to miss out on special events because of it (I came home from a fourth of July party two years ago throwing up my water because it was too bright and overcast outside). The severity of my migraines vary, this one feeling moderate. All I can really do is avoid the sunlight and loud sounds. I know I'm at least extremely sensitive to light, I'm just looking for ways to cope with migraines that don't go away by drinking water and ways to manage it without going to the doctor or having a prescription. Thank you for listening, it means a lot to me!
