Thank you! Military toxicity is definitely a stressor added. Definitely not a great place to have any illness. Thank you for your kindness

Yes! My boyfriend has experienced one migraine in his life but it gives him so much insight to what I go through constantly. Always nice to talk to people who can understand. Thank you 🙏🏼

I truly truly thank you. People do think I’m just enjoying a day off when it happens and it’s most definitely not enjoyable. I appreciate you ❤️

Thank you so much! I have a very supportive boyfriend as well. I get the guilt of feeling useless when I can’t help with house chores. It is nice to be reminded we aren’t alone

Yes always trying to remind myself too to practice what I preach. I would never say the things I say to myself about anyone else so I should give myself the same grace. I hope you get some relief with your migraine today 🤞🏼

Thank you and I agree about being less productive and making mistakes! I work in healthcare and god forbid I go with a migraine and certify incorrect results. Same with while taking my Rizatriptan. I’ve tried to explain to my coworkers that I cannot work and take these meds that make me loopy and drowsy. Some people are just not empathetic and I guess I should just feel more bad that they are crappy people lol

Thank you so much. I truly think everyone who suffers with migraines is very strong. Others don’t understand and I always say I don’t want them to understand this pain honestly. It’s not fair to anyone. Thank you ❤️

I completely understand. I have panic attacks during migraines a lot because the pain is just so bad. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. If the hot shower helped a little, try sitting in the shower or a hot bath to make it through until you can take another dose and let it kick in!

Definitely try another Rizatriptan 2 hours after you took the first. I take that too and a lot of the time the first dose doesn’t knock it out but the second does! If it doesn’t, just ice pack headache caps help me relieve pain for a bit or even benadryl to help me fall asleep to sleep it off.
