How do you deal with a migraine hangover
I have chronic migraines so I pretty much have a migraine every other day if not every day and we all know it’s not over after it’s gone the migraine hangover is awful and it makes in so so hard to continue the day. Any tips of tricks.
- So sorry you are living in a fairly constant state of migraine. Whether in the prodrome stage (where we experience symptoms of an impending migraine), the attack phase itself, or the postdrome stage (that migraine hangover phase) -- when we live with chronic migraine we can feel as if we are constantly push/pulling between these phases. So exhausting and depleting. As to resources/tips on managing the prodrome phase- here are a couple of articles that may prove helpful: https://migraine.com/blog/migraine-hangover. And: https://migraine.com/living-migraine/hangover-postdrome. And: https://migraine.com/living-migraine/postdrome-stages. The comment section that follows each piece is worth looking at as well as our community members offer their experiences and solutions there. We are thinking of you as you navigate this difficult phase of migraine. Please let us know if any of those resources were helpful for you. Sending love and comfort- Holly (migraine.com team). 
Hi. Blah, I hear how frustrated you are to be dealing with the lingering issues that come with prodrome. I hope you're feeling better by the time you see this! In addition to the great articles Holly sent you, I wanted to add a link to our full archives about prodrome. It's a very common topic here, as you can imagine! When you're feeling up to it, you may want to take a peek and see if anything else resonates with you. You never know what will be useful.

Melissa, migraine.com teamHi there, doc. Just seeing this and want to send an acknowledgement your way ... I think it's safe to say that yes, your family would miss you very much. It's so hard to find bright spots when you are pushing through pain every day, but I hear how you are still passionate about making the most of your life. I hope you had a good visit with your grands. How old are they? Back pain is a new struggle for me recently, too. Chiropractor didn't help so now I'm doing physical therapy. I will think of you when I'm there tomorrow. Keep searching for joy and don't be afraid to seek support if things seem too dark to manage. We're here for you, too! -Melissa, team member Thank you for your kind words of support. Grands are 8, 5, & 4. Strawberry blond, very brilliant was reading at grade 3 when she started KG; Black Portuguese heritage, very smart; and White blond, brilliant. Both blonds take after their dads, the black hair takes after her mom 🙁 They are divorced.) I saw my physio therapist she gave me pointers for a reduced but affective exercise program which I do first thing if my CM is 6 or less. My black periods don't last long, I call upon my Heavenly Father for help...when you can't manage yourself, He's better than any human. Saw my neurosurgeon last week, set for surgery in apx. five weeks. Hopefully, I'll then be dealing with minor, he said, hopefully, and my chronic Migraines, can't win all the time.
Again, thank you Melissa I don't get much of them around the house so any such words are appreciated.

I try to relax mentally and physically, I listen to the Bible, pray, and thank God for blessing me so abundantly ✝️
just pamper myself with a quiet day
I love this. Is there anything in particular you do with your quiet day? Or is it mostly just resting in bed? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
