common myths about migraines (AKA if you get headaches regularly, please seek treatment for migraines)

"i don't have migraines because while i get them several times a week, it's only when i am hungry or dehydrated."

those are probably migraines. thirst, hunger, sleep disturbances, or any disruption to routine are common migraine triggers.

"my headaches are specifically barometric related, i get them when the weather/altitude changes."

those are probably migraines. barometric pressure is a common migraine trigger.

"i get headaches all the time but ibuprofen gets rid of them so they can't be migraines."

that's not true. ibuprofen works great at relieving migraine pain for many people.

"my consistent headaches are tension headaches. i feel them originate in my neck/shoulders."

those are probably migraines. muscle tension is a common migraine trigger.

if you are regularly getting headaches (once a week or more), you are likely getting migraines. in fact, a good rule of thumb if you're consistently getting headaches is to treat them as migraines until you can rule out migraines. that's how common "chronic headache = migraine" actually is.

migraines are a neurological disorder wherein pain is one symptom. pain is often the MAIN symptom, and the most noticeable symptom, which can make diagnosis tricky. other symptoms of migraine include:

fatigue

nausea/vomiting

digestive issues

visual disturbances (auras)

sensitivity to light and/or sound

mood changes

brain fog/cognitive changes

ringing in the ears

dizziness/vertigo

numbness/weakness on one side of the body

this list is NOT complete, but is a starting point. i really like the comparison to a hangover. if you generally feel hungover when you get a headache (without having consumed alcohol), that's a classic migraine presentation.

so many people suffer from migraine and don't even know it, so they aren't able to advocate for themselves to get treatment. there are great new migraine treatments on the market! if you're able, please seek treatment for your migraines. a better quality of life is possible.

I used to never get it when people look forward to being granted entry to the pearly gates and told all of the secrets of the universe and the meaning of life and stuff. that is, UNTIL I just now thought about how satisfying it would be to be welcomed to the afterlife and immediately given an in-depth explanation of what causes migraines and how to stop them.

I’ve never hoped there’s an afterlife more.

I just treated myself to tickets to see lord of the rings and the hobbit in concert next january.

I'm in my "I can keep my migraines in check enough to attend concerts again" era.

migraine with nausea

#a sock speaks #migraine tag #I complain a lot about headaches but this is a good reminder that it could be way worse

[shaunashipman]

not that I would like to be in more pain, but it's sooo annoying when I have a migraine that isn't horrible but just painful enough that I can't do anything but lie down with an ice pack

okay i don't mean to be dramatic but it's downright evil how doctors (don't) treat people with chronic headaches
