I have been dealing with migraines for quite some time (after concussions and now possibly menopause). I feel like they are really interfering in my life. I've tried meds in the past but they don't work for me (too many side effects/I'm not a medicine person). I was advised to take Advil which I really don't like to abuse either, and now I just take ginger for headaches. I feel like they're starting to interfere with work. I couldn't even imagine having to drive to an office job these days anymore. I could barely function with work from home. The computer can be quite painful to look at and focus on. They are so unpredictable.
Some of them come and then they go quickly, others turn into a nightmare (2-3 days), and then the fogginess, dizziness, and exhaustion even after the pain is gone. The family thinks you're trying to avoid getting together with them and they don't really understand. I hate to miss family gatherings and obligations, but these migraines are just so debilitating, and don't care about
your niece's graduation party or that bbq.
I actually worked with someone at one time in my life that said they never had a headache. How about
that? That is amazing. I'm hoping this group has had enough to offer some help.
