Anyone who says boohoo has clearly never had a migraine. I’ve only had one once and holy shit. ..that was much more than a headache.
and like even if it is just headache.. HEADACHES SUCK! we need to normalize actually taking a break when you have pain, ignoring it because it's "no big deal" is so fucking toxic
Exactly. Like I have to ignore a lot of pain constantly, but that's cause I live with chronic pain 24/7/365. So if I want to do anything with my life I have to deal with it when it's manageable. But when it passes my threshold I am out. Done, I need to rest, take a break, meds, nap, etc. And then I get shamed by people "for not being able to handle a little pain", even though I'm in more pain every day than many people have ever been in.
Yeah, saying migraine is "just a headache" is like saying a heart attack is "just a little chest pain". It's one of the most common chronic health problems, and yet it's significantly mocked. So annoying.
If all I get is an aura and 24 hours of disorientation, discomfort, and nausea, I feel like I won the lottery.
I will make exactly one attempt to educate someone who doesn’t treat it seriously. The amount of ignorance and general lack of education and awareness out there is staggering.
