I’ve been dealing with a migraine since I received a head injury at 15. I’m almost 25 now. That’s almost 10 years of finding migraine medicine, body getting use to the amount and starting all over again. That’s 3-4 headaches a week, that’s migraine attacks lasting anywhere from 1-3 days. That’s migraine side effects of nausea, pain in my legs, anxiety, light sensitivity, that’s depression. I’ve been taking medicine in the evenings but sometimes it doesn’t fully help to where the headaches or migraines don’t show up. Sometimes I have to take 600mg Ibuprofen everyday on top of the normal meds I take to try and prevent anything in the mornings. Light headaches I can try catching it in time and vaping some CBD liquid but sometimes a migraine attack suddenly shows up or I wake up in the morning (like today) and it hits. It’s exhausting and I’m debating what to talk to my doctor about because I don’t know what to do and it’s affecting my mental health but I haven’t talked to her about it yet. I’m so depressed lately and worried my future boss doesn’t like dealing with my health issues when I have to call in work (like today) and go to the doctors. I’m worried she won’t fully hire me on for my internship and job training… I’m tired of the pain of the headaches and migraines and everything that goes with that and I am just tired of the feeling it leads to depression and being unhappy…
Also having to try and find a new neurologist since my old one doesn’t work there anymore. It’s just all so discouraging…
