Monthly Journal Prompt: Describe migraine without using the word pain.
If you had to describe a migraine attack but couldn't use the word pain, how would you describe the pain you feel? What other symptoms do you experience?
Life altering, everyday chores become challenging at times , there inconvenient and it destroys quality of life
I don't think the word in question is a good enough word anyway
The sharp throbbing , flashing , feeling nauseous , having brain fog and being incapable of doing anything other than trying to scrunch your eyes to go to sleep needs a better word in my opinionThank you for taking the time to put your experience into such powerful words,
. It wasn't until living with migraine did I learn that even just smelling something as simple as scented hand soap could bring my world crashing down with pain and fatigue. - Cody (Team Member)
It's a kidney stone in my head.
It's like my brain is misfiring, and certain things that normally don't matter can cause debilitating issues, like a particular strong scent will cause my vision to go haywire, or a storm system coming through causing vertigo.
My biggest trigger (weather)is beyond my control. I have to take medication and sleep. It causes an unproductive day and I hate it.
