Looking for friends with chronic migraine.

I have chronic migraines, insomnia, and chronic fatigue. I suffer from intense loneliness especially when I don't have anyone who relates to my disability. I'm at home alone most of the time so I'd like to make more virtual friends. I'm trans and queer, i love horror, fashion, graphic novels.

  1. Hello , and welcome! While I'm sorry that you live with chronic migraine, insomnia, and chronic fatigue, I'm glad that you've found the community here and reached out. Managing chronic conditions can be really challenging, so I hope this community can be a source of support and comfort. You are definitely not alone in finding it lonely to navigate your disability when those around you don't understand. I hope that you can connect with others here and make some virtual friends!

    Are you currently on a treatment for migraine? Can I ask how long you've been managing this?

    Please know this community is here for you! Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

  2. Welcome! When I found this community recently I learned that I was not alone and that other people suffer the guilt, loneliness,frustration, etc.,that I have lived with for 4 decades. I didn't know that migraine "guilt" was a thing. I didn't know that so many people lived with the never-ending symptoms and the constant fear of the NEXT one. I hope you can connect here and know that you are not alone! @
