16 Memes That Might Make You Laugh If You Have Migraine
As someone who has lived with chronic migraine for over half of her life at this point, I have adopted a wide variety of coping skills to help me manage everyday life. Some of these coping methods include keeping my home fully stocked with migraine relief products, while others are hacks I’ve learned to manage migraine symptoms throughout the workday, and asking my partner for support during migraine attacks.
However, advanced plans and relief products don’t always stop the delightful symptoms that frequently make themselves known throughout the day and while I sleep at night. In these moments, I personally find it helpful to try to find the humor in the situation, even if laughing off the pain seems a bit morbid or out of place.
If you’re like me and enjoy humor that almost spills over into self-deprecation, then you will likely enjoy these memes that might make you laugh if you have migraine.
