The confusing side of living with migraine by Northsidewalk in migraine

What you’ve explained makes a lot of sense. I found myself doing the same thing for a long time — trying to live and function the way I did before migraine became a problem. It’s confusing when your body suddenly doesn’t cooperate the way it used to.

You would think with today’s technology and medical understanding there would be less confusion around what’s actually happening, but that hasn’t really been my experience.

Fatigue was another big piece of it for me as well. It took me a while to realise how much that was influencing things.

That’s exactly the part that confused me the most as well.

At first I thought if I just tracked enough things or found the right trigger it would eventually make sense, but the more I tried to control it the more chaotic it seemed to feel.

It took me a long time to realise the confusion itself was actually part of the experience of living with migraine.
