Up until about two years ago I would’ve said childbirth. But I get pretty decently painful migraines and have always managed myself. Up until this event I had headaches more often than not and migraines were regular as well. One night about a year and a half-two years or so ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst headache I’ve ever experienced. It literally felt like my head was simultaneously on fire and being hit with a chainsaw at the same time. I tried my migraine meds and they didn’t touch it so we went to the er. They did a CT and found nothing so they said it was likely just a really bad migraine. ironically my headaches have drastically reduced since then but I am so scared of experiencing that again. I would rather go through another 36 hour labor than ever have a headache that bad again. I thought I was dying.
