"Anyone with any tips or any encouragement is very welcomed. Don’t judge please though because I really just needed to vent... unless you’re gonna offer some advice or encouragement, please don’t respond. I need some support... I’m 16 and just spent a week in the hospital. I have NO friends because I just transferred schools and I’m just struggling right now. I could use some support from people struggling with migraines like me. Ughh feeling frustrated! Just got out of the hospital after 5 days. I have had two migraines back to back since then. The treatments were supposed to help. Also, im 16 and taking topamax as one of my daily controls (among other medications). Anyone else notice that they can not remember anything? I lose my phone constantly and it’s in front of me. I did anyways but since the meds, it’s more than normal. I also have LOTS of tingling and numbness in my face, hands, and feet. I know that’s a somewhat good sign (according to my neurologist) that the meds are working and I am responding but it’s very annoying. I seem to be eating more rather than less though 😬 maybe it’s one of my other meds factoring in? I’m on so many medications it’s ridiculous. We joke that I have my own home pharmacy because I literally do. I’m trying to identify migraine triggers. So far I have found NOTHING except for scents, lights, and sounds. HOW IN THE WORLD DO I AVOID ALL OF THOSE THINGS?!"
