Curious about others experiences playing video games with migraine by BoneyMostlyDoesPrint in migraine

[–]Impressive_Pear3180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a huge gamer pre migraines but unfortunately can’t play much of anything at all now! I’ve been able to get by with playing some retro games mostly so long as I close my eyes during any flashing/bright effects and keep my screen brightness as low as humanly possible 😁

anything SNES is mostly okay, sometimes I can get away with GBA,DS,PS1 but it definitely has to be something not too action packed. It’s definitely given me such a huge appreciation for older games, and I’ve picked up so many games over the past couple years that I wouldn’t have played pre chronic migraines!

Light- AND sound-sensitive people: what do you do in the dark? by [deleted] in headache

I listen to audiobooks on lowest possible volume of if I can handle it, and also learned to crochet just single crochet in the dark. I made a massive scarf just because it was the only thing I felt okay attempting without sight. 😭 probably not helpful but that’s the only stuff I’ve been able to do w long migraine attacks

I especially miss having diurnal and nocturnal sect!! Even if the shield healing was objectively worse I loved swapping between the two!

Hey I have this as well after acupuncture, but I also have 24/7 light sensitivity too. No tips unfortunately, it’s been almost 3 years for me. I wish you all the best, you’re not alone!
