I feel like curling into a ball and crying #Fibromyalgia #TemporomandibularJointDisorders #chronicmigraine

It hurts and I’m so tired. I have to dog sit but the dogs are killing me. It is making me so miserable. I want to leave but the dogs want to be near me at all times.

I have nothing for relief. The dogs want to be all over me. I can’t take it. I don’t get irritated like this when I work. This is the first time I have felt like this.

I feel like crying and just laying down and locking myself away from them. I want to just not be in pain. I want to not be here. I hate how I can’t have anything without pain anymore. I just hate everything right now.

New Podcast Episode! Monday, 7/17

The fourth episode of "Health and (un)Wellness: Mighty With Migraine" releases on Monday, July 17.

Let's hit pause for a moment. Missed previous episodes? They're available on your favorite podcast platform right now: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/health-and-unwellness

Here's a little about the episode:

Ah migraine, the most annoying third wheel of all time. It’s a universal truth that migraine affects our relationships in ways both good and bad. In this episode, Kat and Skye get honest about dating — just wait until you hear about Skye’s experiment with dating apps — as well as their connections with family and friends. If you sometimes (read: always) feel like a burden to the people you care about, this one’s for you.

Migraine Awareness

I wanted to share something along these lines:
My name is Alandria and I’m a Chronic Migraine survivor. Migraine is a complex, neurological disease. It’s listed among the top three most debilitating diseases in the world. The most common misconception is a lot of people think it’s just “a really bad headache”. It’s not. Some common symptoms include, but are not limited to: aura, sensitivity to light, sensitivity to sound, throbbing pain, and so much more! Although there is no cure, migraines can be treated and managed. Get informed here: (insert reliable link here). Thank you for your support!

What do you all think? Any suggestions? If I got any information incorrect, please correct me with grace.

Hello from a Crabbie Mom

#chronicmigraine #ChronicMigraineSyndrome
Hello group, I'm new to The Mighty but not migraines. I have had them since I was five, both with/without auras, abdominal migraines, and within the last year, I started have auditory auras, hearing a TV on in a far room. Neurology said it's rare but can happen. I've seen them so long, they joked if it's rare it's going to happen to me. This was not meant to be mean at all, it was them using dark humor like I do.

New here!

Hi! I’m new here. I downloaded the app about a year ago, but never used it. I am not a big fan of anything social media related or adjacent. Lol. But…I decided this would be good. I’m still trying to figure it out and how to use it. Haha. I’m sure I’ll get there…eventually.
