A few years ago I started having chronic migranes, and I felt terrible ALL. the. TIME. Some days I would wake up and be fine and then all of a sudden I would have a migrane attack. 

"What is a migrane attack?" you might ask. I migrane attack differs from person to person, and for me what was happening (well it still happens but not as often) is all of a sudden something  would trigger a migrane and then sounds sounded louder and then... I would experience something called an aura where your line of sight is limited and if you try to focus you might see something that looks like a static television. After the aura I would feel just intense head and eye pain and then just start crying even if I tried not to and then for hours after I would probably throw up a few times and just be super nauseaus and dizzy. I was depressed and full of anxiey about doing anything because I might trigger a migrane. I tried many different medications and methods to prevent a migrane and finally I figured out a good combination of things that has helped me reduce the occurance of migranes and how long they last when I do get one. Migranes are often misunderstood, many people think a migrane is just a headace and that it can be taken care of with a glass of water and an over the counter pain reliever.  Unfortunately a migrane is not just a headace its almost a whole body expirence, and there isn't widespread sympathy given for a migrane, the only people that can offer sympathy are other migrane sufferers. There is also a long list of things that can cause a migrane and triggers differ from person to person. All this being said its difficult to navigate a world where you are now a migrane sufferer and I wish I had someone to help me figure this all out minus the eyerolls and "it's just a headace" comments.
